Military Removes Training Document Conflating Socialists With Terrorists
The Intercept ^ | Ken Klippenstein

Posted on 07/13/2021 12:12:02 PM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

The U.S. Navy has removed a training document that appeared to conflate socialists with terrorists, following The Intercept’s publication of that document on June 22.

“The course manager directed the immediate removal of the ‘Training Guide / Assignment Sheet 2-1-2 / Introduction to Terrorism/Terrorist Operations’ on June 23, and the command is conducting a focused review on terrorism-related curriculum to ensure we don’t have unintended messaging,” said Dave Hecht, a spokesperson for the chief of Navy personnel.

A second department official not authorized to speak publicly confirmed that the document had been removed from training manuals.

The document included a list of questions for trainees, including the following: “Anarchists, socialists and neo-nazis represent which terrorist ideological category?” The correct answer, a Defense official told me, was “political terrorists.”

The training guide was part of an approved curriculum for anti-terrorism officer courses, according to Hecht.

“While each [Naval Education and Training Command] course undergoes a formal course review every three years, the Center for Security Forces has been directed to review this and related curriculum for other such references,” Hecht said.

The document’s problematic language illustrates the challenges of developing a curriculum on political extremism in the military, especially when it comes to politically fraught subjects such as socialism.

Socialists on the terrorist list? A lot of them successfully transition to peaceful Libertine-arians.

Our military has now OFFICIALLY admitted it has disavowed our Constitution and no longer represents us.

Next move?

The Chinese, Russian and Cambodian socialists helped many of their fellow citizens unwillingly become compost.

Does that count?

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Approves.

When do the political officers get embedded? Can’t have any backsliding.

Cornflakes not withstanding, Socialists are terrorist bosses and clients. Since they support ANTIFA/BLM terrorism, and use them politically, they are worse than terrorists. Covering up the connection is in their interest, but not in the interest of the American people. Wake up and smell the cornflakes!

Obama’s military excused the Fort Hood shooter as the victim of phobia and pre-stress disorder. They called it workplace violence for years and paid him his salary.
