The only Extremist I see in this situation is the Secretary of Defence Austin.

A former Perfumed Prince whose job is well above his capabilities.

If he sees an issue its a white issue. Could there be “White Supremacist”In the military sure.There could also be racist of a differnet color in their as well.

Or is this just attack Trump/Conservative supporters?

This will decimate what remains of the esprit de corps of many combat units. Perhaps even more than placing “transgender” troops throughout every element of the military.

During Viet Nam hostilities, the front line troops got orders from above to fight either under very strict “rules of engagement”, or simply abandon acquired territory on a political whim from Washington. What happened is that many of the units simply claimed they “didn’t get the word” and held the hard-won ground (which frequently led to courts-martial all around), or they fell back in confusion and chaos, because the enemy also didn’t get the word, and US troops suffered sometimes severe casualties.

Now, the orders don’t even have to come down. The elements of US forces will scatter under a frontal attack without much encouragement from above at all.

The French will appear stalwart and indominable in comparison.

because it won't be long until our troop are told to turns their weapons on US.

There were reports that the National Guard troops in Washington D.C. had to sign a statement that 'if ordered, they would fire on Americans'.

This a witch hunt.

No, it isn't a witch hunt. The military is perfectly fine with witches/pagans/Satanists being in the ranks.

Pagans resist keeping the faith to themselves

Nanzism is on the rise. Paranoid hysteria from Democrats demonizing honest Americans who serve in the military.

As supported by the press.

see tagline...

Liberal extremists have to get control of the military before they can move on the American Gov’t to get control of the population. This seems like a traditional Socialist operation used most recently by Venezuela, Cuba, etc.

Currently they know that the National Guard is not on board with becoming the militant wing of the Democratic party. It will be difficult to get them to enforce those new gun laws. One of the reasons they are attempting to purge it of patriots.

from the link

described Austin as “galvanized” by the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol by a mob which included former and current military members

Just what does the race baiter think his stand down will do to affect any 'former members'? Does he think he has the power to 'stand down' 17 million or so veterans that may not share his race ideas?

>>Have they actually defined what they consider an extremist to be?

The 75,000,000 Trump voters.

Joe Biden didn’t even trust his own Secret Service detail.

what they are actually doing is targeting white soldiers, not conservatives.

They realized that they would have only 10% military forces remaining after the purge.

Political purge of conservatives from the military.

Here is the Sec Def Memo mentioned in the article: https://media.defense.gov/2021/Feb/05/2002577485/-1/-1/0/STAND-DOWN-TO-ADDRESS-EXTREMISM-IN-THE-RANKS.PDF

And here is what Rep Bobert said on Twitter:

Biden’s Defense Secretary ordered a 60 day service-wide stand down to address “extremism” within the US Military.

This is nothing but a political litmus test of our brave men & women.

It is obscene & dangerous to use soldiers who risk their lives for America as political pawns.

We can hardly be surprised by these political litmus tests given Biden’s political vetting of the 26,000 National Guard troops in DC for his inauguration.

I spoke up, as did many others, warning that would open up a very dangerous precedent & less than a month later here it is.
