Soldiers “from every echelon” of the US military have been openly questioning why last year’s violent BLM and Antifa riots weren’t treated like the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a comparison which has flown sideways up the ass of the military’s top enlisted leader, Chief Master Sergeant Ramón “CZ” Colón-López.
In a Thursday briefing at the Pentagon, Colón-López (CZ) told reporters that some troops have asked “How come you’re not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that? [Jan. 6 riot]”
“This is coming from every echelon that we’re talking to,” CZ added.
According to Military.com, CZ told reporters that he is “concerned about the way that some people are looking at the current environment.”
Colón-López said the confusion some younger troops have expressed shows why the training sessions on extremism are needed.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the stand-down Feb. 5 and gave units across the military 60 days to discuss extremism in the ranks with troops.
The military’s policies are clear, he said: Troops are not to advocate for, or participate in, supremacist, extremist or criminal gang doctrine, ideology or causes. –Military.com
Others are wondering why leadership’s view is so disproportionate.
The Troops know that once again, if the Pentagon is pushing something, it has only political motivations and is not gonna help them in any way to survive their next combat “experience”.
As the grunts would say, “Being WOKE is just a f_________ JOKE”
I thought this same thing fifty yrs ago
At some point, military personnel will have to make a decision on where they will stand and who they will stand up for. Standing for what is right may mean suffering some hardships. Knowing when to refuse un-Constitutional and unlawful orders is critical. Those who choose the wrong path will at some point, suffer the consequences from another direction.
I believe the military has plainly shown on which side they stand as well as the cops. I always had the highest respect for our military and cops but not anymore. People in the military are cannon fodder for the government and nothing else.
It’s not so much the rank and file of the military personnel as it is the command structure that is a bunch of a– kissers ( political hacks ) and yes , you will have a bunch or some of the enlisted that will rogue.
Notice that the troops doing the questioning obviously need more education on extremism…….ie more diversity and inclusion and politically correct indoctrination.
Spent 20+ years in the service from my Senior Non-com view, the biggest problem the a majority of officer corps go to a civilian colleges – 50% are pretty much useless for at least half of their careers some longer and have absolutely no skills outside of their wheelhouse, but they learn ass kissing 101 perfectly to get promoted – They always find time for writing themselves awards and going to promotion boards – the majority of officers I knew did not go to a military academies – I Remember sitting as a member on a court marital and the guy was guilty as sin, we gave him a fair but long sentence – but I saw how naïve the young officers were about life as they began to whine– these little liberals learned quickly it only took a few real life situations to change their toon’s – 90% of combat vets I know are not liberals or conservatives — they are realists –
woody8834: you are absolutely correct about, combat vets & how reality narrows the field real fast. I would like to give more than just 1+
Are these new soldiers subject to Any shots and vaccines the high up order’s? That’s what worries me! What if they are making the soldiers…weak or all woke with new bio junk? I would hate to have to just take whatever they told me to!
They will punish these soldiers questioning this blm junk I am sure. SOB’s
They may be grumbling, but Unless and Until some Senior NCO stands up and Refuses politically-motivated “Orders”, nothing happens. The Troops in the Capitol are the Best Example so far of “Just Following Orders” this Banana Republic has seen. (yet). Every Commissioned Officer is now a Traitor to the Republic, having Broken the Oath they took to Defend the Constitution.
The Enlisted ranks, IMO, will probably be ‘maneuvered’ into Attacking the Citizens on some (false-flag) Pretext, even though most of them don’t support the Action – this is due to the Fear of Discipline that has been Beaten Into them since they Joined.
Remember, the VERY FIRST USE of Heavy Weapons against the people is the “Weapons Free” Event – Time to Attack any and every .Gov Site, Asset, Employees, and their Families. That’s what (un)Civil War is all about.
Might be the best news I’ve had today!
