A U.S. Army email, sent after the Fourth of July to its military and civilian members, included a graphic which claimed saying the phrase “Make America Great Again” is evidence of “white supremacy.”

The graphic listed other behaviors it deemed evidence of white supremacy, including, “Celebration of Columbus Day,” the “Denial of White Privilege,” “Talking about ‘American Exceptionalism,'” and saying “There’s Only One Human Race.”

The email invited “all soldiers and (Department of the Army) Civilian Personnel” to attend the U.S. Army’s “Operation Inclusion” seminars on July 8 and 9 at the Redstone Arsenal Army Base in Alabama. The email was sent by Chaney P. Pickard from the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Center using an official government email.

The message named the “U.S. Army Equity & Inclusion Agency” and “Assistant Secretary of the Army — Manpower and Reserve Affairs” as authors.

And, no doubt if you decline the invite-----racis'. Pretty sure the Army does not make this call. Someone needs to be sent to JAG for further investigation. Or they could just issue another message: US ARMY=naughtZees

Using the Internet is cultural appropriation of the worst order.

Another thought. US Navy wearing dress whites is probably going to be a thing of the past. No doubt a clan trigger.

ObamaIdiot tard holdovers are everywhere.
They should have been dealt with on Day 3 of taking office but no.....

If re-elected to a second term, Trump better get rid of everyone of these mofos like he should have done 1st term. But hey, just my take, so who am I? Nobody.

The Army is part of America’s history with George Washington the first general. Is it a white supremacy institution? Col Chaney should resign from it, then

And Trump should fire the Secretary of Defense for allowing this crap to go out

If somebody doesn’t get fired for this, Trump deserves to lose in November.
His own military is calling his campaign slogan racist. That’s insubordination.

Any military personnel who subscribe to this nonsense should be discharged from their service immediately.

But BLM and rainbow flags are a-ok?!

F that.

MAGA is NOT white supremacy and the military should immediately dishonorably discharge who ever sent that email.

From Mo Brooks, Alabama Cingressman

Washington, DC— Wednesday, Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-05) blasted deeply offensive and racist U.S. Army “Operation Inclusion” propaganda U.S. Army personnel distributed to Redstone Arsenal civilian and uniformed personnel in clear violation of the Hatch Act. Congressman Brooks sent a letter to U.S. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy (copies to President Donald Trump; Mark Meadows, White House Chief of Staff; Attorney General William Barr; and others) demanding an investigation into Army personnel illegally using federal government resources to distribute racist and partisan political propaganda in direct violation of the federal Hatch Act and any number of military regulations. Click HERE to view and download Congressman Brooks’ letter to U.S. Army Secretary McCarthy.

The Army email invited “All soldiers and (Department of the Army) Civilian Personnel” to attend “Operation Inclusion” seminars July 8 & 9 at Redstone Arsenal’s Bob Jones Auditorium at the Sparkman Center Complex. The email, sent by “Chaney P. Pickard” (per the emails, Pickard is with the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Center), via an official government email address: “Chaney.p.pickard.civ@mail.mil”. The invitation was sent to an unknown number of recipients, but likely in the thousands if the invitation went to all Redstone Arsenal Army civilian and uniformed personnel.

The U.S. Army email further states it is by the “U.S. Army Equity & Inclusion Agency” and “Assistant Secretary of the Army - Manpower and Reserve Affairs”.

Disturbingly, the Army chose Redstone Arsenal as the first location on a tour that will cover all Army 4 star commands.

The illegal, racist and politically partisan material includes a pyramid graphic that claims the following are evidence of “White Supremacy”, and, hence, racism:

Using the phrase “Make America Great Again”
“Education Funding from Property Taxes”
“Calling the Police on Black People”
Using the phrase “All Lives Matter”
“Denial of White Privilege”
“Inequitable Healthcare”
“Anti-Immigration Policies”
“English-Only Initiatives”
“Celebration of Columbus Day”
Talking about American “Exceptionalism”
“Claiming Reverse-Racism”
Stating “There’s Only One Human Race”
And dozens more!

I guess you didn’t read the whole article. The President and others are investigating.

Fire or redeploy the people behind this nonsense. Today.

This smells like something the obama regime would have infested our military with.

Does President Trump have any real control over the armed forces? Given the statements of the renunciation by the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of his appearance with Trump by St. John's Church, denunciation by many retired flag officers, and reliance on civilian Federal officers to protect the White House and Federal monuments, you have to wonder. Much of the DOJ and the FBI are disloyal.
