They are gonna have a tough time meeting recruitment and retention goals with a lot of this crap.

Pretty tough to fight the Neverending Forever War if young folks stop volunteering for it.

Great idea. How about all the capitol police stand-down to prevent another “insurrection”?

And a LOT of those young folks can see through the BS.

Military is gonna have to hire a LOT more JAG’s before this purge is done.

I served mostly in the 90’s. The only real racism I ever saw, and dealt with was with racist black men.
There were a couple of racist white guys I came across, but people hated those idiots, and they tended to do their 1 enlistment and get out.
I am 100% positive that hasn’t changed.

What exactly does a stand down involve?

I bet that after this there won’t be a single (R) registered voter left in the US military............

At least their votes won't be discarded.

“. . . and to start a two-way conversation between the troops and leadership about extremism”

“General, I think your policy is full of s**t.”

“Court martial that soldier!!!!”

Meanwhile, in a land far away, Chinese, Iranian, Russian and North Korean generals are laughing their heads off.

The deep state operatives evidently want to use this as a means to fashion an army that is willing to go to war against the American people.

To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Never have seen so much phony horsesh^t, fake, hoaks, crap, stunts going on at one time in my life! OUR COUNTRY IS BEING OVER THROWN BEFORE OUR EYES in every-way, everyday in wide open air! Just like when the Germans walsed into Poland in the beginning before they very soon later CRUSHED THE HELL OUT OF THEM!

With all the swift bold earth shattering announcements, ridiculous changes, and troops movement and stand downs what else should a normal people WITHOUT hate believe! I have NO FEAR - just disgust, raw disbelief and contempt!

I think I need to ask you the same question. Why do you believe all this garbage? You would at this point have to be willfully ignorant to believe the military is not in control of Washington DC. They are not being controlled by the Biden admin.

Now This idiot Austin is playing pretend with a stand down order that will never be verified one way or the other. Its laughable. He and Biden can’t very well tell the press. “ the military won’t take our orders and have us trapped in DC under virtual house arrest”

Yes, with a moustache I envy, and who smoked a ‘straight’ pipe, although I thought I saw one with that ‘bent’ design.
The current ‘joe’ is more like “Uncle Ho”.

When I was in, we had what were called safety stand downs. If something happened like a plane accident, we had a stand down day to go back and review safety procedures and practices, and discuss the incident that led to the stand down. It was just to make sure people were in the correct frame of mind to go about the business of the day, which was being ready and trained to take the fight to the enemy.

So its not to 'do nothing'. Of course this is not a safety stand down, its an opportunity to invoke political officers and political correctness into the system. Under previous dem admins, it would be 'social engineering'. In today's post election steal, post capitol false flag storming, I suspect its more of a pre-purge and identification of those who wont swear allegiance to the regime. This is way more nefarious than in the past.

The military has not tolerated racism in half a century and does not now tolerate real extremism. But extremism has been redefined to mean anything not in agreement with the junta.

Sounds like another way of telling our soldiers they need a “time out”.

Treating them like they are children, or Antifa is extremely offensive to me.
