So, which council is the one that determines what "extremism" is to deny or remove military folks? What if recruits or active duty folks have no twitter, instagram, FB presence? They must be hiding something right? Sad to say but, I wouldn't recommend to any youngster to go into the military these days. Instant mine field. Sad dang situation.

Conservatives should present the idea that membership in, donation to, or supporting policies promoted by the DNC is evidence of “extremism”.

Like screen for radicals who believe election results should be finalized on election day.

Stalin purged the Soviet military just in time for Operation Barbarossa. Now we face a possible invasion of Ukraine and Taiwan. This ideological purge is our priority?

Perhaps more transgenders, high heels, and maternity uniforms will help our combat readiness?

What is “Extremism” to the new democrat Defense Secretary?

Someone who does/is:

1. Supporting President Trump

2. A Christian

3. A Conservative

4. Wary of government

5. Thinks government is too big and cost too much.

6. Believes that ALL lives matter, including those not yet born but existing inside a womb.

7. Loves America.

8. Believes the Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution and the Founding Fathers were ALL great.

9. Believes Reparations were paid when the USA lost 600,000 + men fighting the Civil War and ultimately freeing the slaves, whether they meant to or not.

10. Believes there are only two sexes.

Very similar to the Red Scare of post WW 1 America, this is the White male scare. If there are extremists in the military, it’s because the senior leadership has driven soldiers to that point.

I don’t think the average person understands how perilously close were are to chaos. It’s not like the consequences of political loyalty tests for military members and other government workers aren’t well-understood. This crap has been happening in other parts of the world for decades, if not centuries. It’s the stock-in-trade of banana republics.

I’m aghast at how quickly they’ve politicized our uniformed services in ways that would have been unconscionable even a few years ago. This is going to end poorly.

I’m pretty sure I could go out there right now and find adds
for Leftist protesting.

I’m also sure this IS NOT of interest to them.

They are trying to intimidate Conservatives into silence,

I think Proud Boys is a good example of this.

First they demonize group, and then they jack up any complaints
against them like they did the Davidians.

Ummm...I think you had it right the first time: “WACO.” These anti-America deep-staters would like to “WACO” all politically suspect troops. Janet Reno would be proud.

This is straight out of the Soviet playbook. They had Political Officers/Kommissars spying on the troops (well everyone, really). The “Zampolit” officer was to be feared.

Our Secdef, Lloyd Austin, is cut out of the same mold.

God Help Us.

The perfumed generals and admirals are gonna scare any competent future soldiers away....the remaining recruits will be extreme....extremely incompetent.

That is how you get training accidents, “friendly” fire, “incidents” with the locals in foreign lands, etc.
