SECDEF orders 60 day stand down to purge political extremists from military

I'm not even sure I'd bother having a social media account if I was still in. What is a reasonable comment today might get you run out on a rail in two years.

Austin Orders Military Stand Down to Address Challenge of Extremism in the Ranks

Yeah, 60 days should be enough to do a purge. I'm not sure the political reliability officers will be properly trained by then though.

The stand down will occur over the next 60 days, Kirby said. This is so "each service, each command and each unit can take the time out to have these needed discussions with the men and women of the force," he said.

Rule anything out? Of course not! Open ended, nebulous diktats are the way to proceed.

In the meeting today, Austin made it clear that he is still mulling over how he wants to organize the effort to attack the problem from an institutional perspective, the press secretary said.

The secretary may establish a task force to get after the problem or perhaps another way. "He hasn't ruled anything in or out," Kirby said.

Using date delimited search engine investigations, it doesn't look like wholesale DoD advisory council resignations were required by either the incoming Obama Administration or Orange Man Administration, despite the AP reporterette intimations that this is perfectly normal and natural.

Pentagon chief purges defense boards; Trump loyalists out

“I am directing the immediate suspension of all advisory committee operations until the review is completed unless otherwise directed by myself or the deputy secretary of defense,” Austin said in a memo released Tuesday. And he ordered all committee members who were appointed by the defense secretary to resign no later than Feb. 16.

Austin said the review will assess whether each board provides value and make sure its focus aligns with “our most pressing strategic priorities and the National Defense Strategy.”

Tata, a former Fox News commentator, failed to get through Senate confirmation for the top Pentagon policy job early last year because of offensive remarks he had made, including about Islam. In November, however, Trump appointed him to that same post, just days after firing then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper and putting Miller in the job.

A thorough reporterette might actually assemble a list of names of the hundred who have gotten a letter. I suspect that is a bit much to ask for these days. It is also possible that she did do that and it was cut by her editor. But if I has a hundred dollars to bet, I'd pocket ninety nine and bet the one on the guess that she didn't.

When they purge all Republicans from the military, what will be left?

60 days seems like a reasonable amount of time to introduce every unit in the US military to their extra new member from Beijing. The rumor was that they were going to call them "Party liaisons" but decided that sounded a little too frat-boyish, so they decided to go with "Allied behavior monitoring specialist".

[Brian4Liberty]

It doesn't get any more blatant. Political commissars are an identifying trait of a totalitarian regime. We are becoming the Soviet Union, Red China and Nazi Germany, all of which introduced political commissars to purge the military.

According to the Military Times poll pre-election, the military slightly preferred Biden. I hoped they enjoy what these voted for because they are getting it.

Trump’s popularity slips in latest Military Times poll — and more troops say they’ll vote for Biden



Clearly the unknown individuals who were trashing military votes in PA didn't get the memo. More likely, they didn't believe the polls which never lie.

So every military member who supported or participated in BLM is getting discharged then?

So every military member who supported or participated in BLM is getting discharged then?

Probably promoted. There will be a lot of vacancies.

But don't worry, they say this every election right? All of this is just fear porn, nothing to see here.

[TheTexan]

Big tech. Big media. Next step is the military.

This sure escalated quickly.

Nobody is actually getting discharged. They will come up with some BS sensitivity training or something. Because in the end the liberal democrats want to use the military to enforce their agenda around the world even thought a majority of the military is conservative.

[ClaytonB]

Until the kinds of crooks that will stage events right in broad daylight, film it, broadcast it on national TV and pretend that they're "just reporting the news" are caught and sentenced appropriately, I will not believe a single published "statistic". If you can fake entire events on camera in broad daylight, you won't hesitate to fudge the statistics to say whatever you want them to say. No way in hell are there more US troops that prefer the Chicom puppet to Trump.

BLM-Antifa will be recruited. Pacifying the nation will take stormtroopers.

Marxist youth.

Keen to finish up the operation and exterminate us.

[Jenard Butler]

BLM-Antifa will be recruited. Pacifying the nation will take stormtroopers.

Then they’re recruiting from the wrong crowd. Antifa is a bunch of powder puffs. They’ve been around a lot longer than they’ve been in news and have always been a pack of limp-wristed fairies. Their latest violent incarnation is due to the paid operatives in their ranks. Every one of the guys shot in Kenosha was paid to be there.

Curious if they are going to start reaching further out to “purge” even then the retired military that are collecting their pension after their 20 years?

Going after retirees will be a budget neutral cost-savings measure. Not only do you save on retirement pay, you quickly reduce the number of individuals eligible for health care through the Veterans Administration. All upside as far as the eyes can see.

I cannot begin to express how bad things are, when stories like come up.

If you are not prepared now, to fight, then I suggest you make plans to haul ass and GTFO

WTF? At this rate you will see Marines "Marines" with pink mohawks and monkey tail beards in ten years.

If they purge everybody who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, they won't have a military.

A special force assembled using loyalists and foreign entities to fill the vaccum and then the disarmament of the hold outs can commence.

That depends on which side one stands on.
