Joe Biden’s Pentagon Pick Lloyd Austin Vows to Rid Military Ranks of ‘Racists and Extremists’
Breitbard ^ | 1/19/2021 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 01/20/2021 4:32:12 AM PST by Onthebrink

During his opening remarks, Lloyd Austin stated:

We also owe our people a working environment free of discrimination, hate and harassment. If confirmed, I will fight hard to stamp out sexual assault, to rid our ranks of racists and extremists, and to create a climate where everyone fit and willing has the opportunity to serve this country with dignity. The job of the Department of Defense is to keep America safe from our enemies. But we can’t do that if some of those enemies lie within our own ranks.

Democrats in recent days have sounded the alarm over the prospect of extremists in the military, after veterans and active-duty members of the military were identified attending a pro-Trump protest at the Capitol on January 6, with some breaching the Capitol building.

They’re purifying the military. That seems like something a dictator would do.

Will he eliminate gay rape in the military and specifically address that? Same sex domestic partner abuse?

Well, the military will no longer be on the side of the American people.

They aren’t even trying to hide what they are doing.

What arrogance.

At this rate, within 4 years, Iceland will be able to defeat the US armed forces.

Purging competent troops for purely political reason will lead to less competent military.

Remember what happened when Stalin purged officers for purely political reason.

Freepers who are currently active duty military...or Reserves...or National Guard...you've been warned. You're about to lose your jobs. And you could very well be court martialed.Don't worry,they'll come up with a charge.

To those of you who've never been to Kansas I guarantee that it's a nice state. Leavenworth? Not so much.

The mission of military is changing. From defending the country to defending the regime.

The people behind this need to remember - It started with the Christian officers, and it ended with the Jewish doctors.

“Here we go again.”

Good morning Sam -

Who knew? Guess that means obozo didn’t clean them all out and leave a system in place that solved this HUGE (imaginary) PROBLEM. Meanwhile, no investigations into leftist paramilitary groups who burn down demonkkkrap cities. What was the nobel peace prize winner doing for 8 years? This is cover for critical race theory indoctrination into the military. The CCP couldn’t be more happy with the demonkkkraps.

It will lead to a foreign mercenary military. Foreigners, loyal to whoever pays them.
