You could see this coming like you can see a thunderhead out on the Great Plains.
The order came from a meeting Austin held today with @thejointstaff @USNavy @usairforce @USArmy @USMC – "This is a leadership issue," said Pentagon spox @johnfkirby63

The allegation, provided without a shred of empirical evidence that the US military is overrun by hate groups and extremists, has been made for weeks. Here’s a sampling from just the past month:
Politico. The military has a hate group problem. But it doesn’t know how bad it’s gotten.
WBUR (Boston NPR). Extremism In The Military And How To Root It Out
Defense One. How to Root Out Extremism in the U.S. Military
Military Times. The military knows it has a problem with domestic extremists, white supremacists
New York Times. Pentagon Accelerates Efforts to Root Out Far-Right Extremism in the Ranks
But the degree to which this narrative foretold future events became evident when the FBI was permitted to perform background checks, including reviews of social media, of the 20,000 or so National Guardsmen called up to defend Joe Biden’s Washington, DC, against some imagined threat (more Security Theater, like the predicted attacks on state capitols). See U.S. Defense Officials Fear Insider Attack From National Guard Service Members Ahead of Inauguration.
This was an unconscionable affront to the US military. The assertion that National Guardsmen posed an insider threat to Joe Biden should have been met with guffaws and a refusal of any governor to go along with it. In September 1934, Adolf Hitler was inspecting a jaeger regiment commanded by Colonel Erwin Rommel. The Nazi security apparatus insisted that politically reliable SS troops be positioned between Rommel’s regiment and Hitler. Rommel said that if that came to pass, his troops would not be there. It is a shame when our military commanders can’t muster the same courage.
As I noted in Steve Cohen Tries to Walk Back Smear That National Guardsmen Might Kill Biden but the Official Reaction Reveals a Larger Problem:
This all points to a deep corruption in the senior officer corps and hints at a deep-seated contempt for the rank-and-file Guardsmen by their own leadership. I can’t imagine something similar not existing in the Regular Army. No State Adjutant General has gone on record defending their troops against Cohen’s calumny. No one in even the out-going Trump Defense leadership had anything to say. Only one governor has defended their own Guardsmen. Instead, we saw the FBI running checks on National Guardsmen with the objective of finding something, anything to justify the panic.
This is just part of the Antonio-Gramsci-esque Long March Through the Institutions that has finally conquered the US military.
Secretary of Defense Austin has already demonstrated that he has a total disregard for the safety of the military personnel and is completely subservient to Critical Race Theory and whatever other victim theology that is being peddled, see Opinion: Defense Secretary Austin Plays Politics Right out of the Gate. What does this mean? From the New York Times.
All military personnel, including those in the National Guard, undergo extensive background investigations and physical examinations including assessments of tattoos. Troops are continuously monitored for indications that they are involved in extremist activity and receive training to identify others around them who could be “insider threats.”
But critics say the military’s leadership has often failed to hold violators accountable consistently.
“Current regulations have penalties that are largely left up to commanders, often at the unit level,” Heidi Beirich, a co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told a House hearing last February. “There appears to be no process to track people expelled for ties to white supremacists’ groups.”
At the same time, there are many internal cultural issues within the military — from the recruitment process to training and beyond — that may take years to unravel.
The recently approved National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2021, which sets annual Pentagon policy and spending priorities, contained measures meant to help the department address the issue, including a new position in the Defense Department inspector general’s office: a deputy inspector general for diversity and inclusion and supremacist, extremism and criminal gang activity. Congress also charged the inspector general with establishing a “mechanism to track and report” extremist or gang activity in the military.
The fact that the same morons who have decided that the OK sign is a white supremacist sign will be deciding what tattoos mean should give no one any comfort. That tracking military veterans to gauge their political reliability is casually bandied about is terrifying. A political commissar dedicated to rooting out troops with the wrong politics is not something native to North America.
Let’s not fool ourselves that they will be looking for actual gang members or KKK or BLM…oops, I didn’t say that…members in the ranks. They will be intrusively monitoring social media to see what you say and which Facebook posts you share. If you have a Rush 24/7 membership or a RedState VIP member or fly the Gadsden flag (see Leftwing Activist Journalists Claim the Gadsden Flag Is a Sign of Insurrection and Hate), your days in uniform are probably numbered. In 2012, the Obama Pentagon discharged a Marine reservist who said unflattering things about Obama while not on active duty. In past years, no one in the Pentagon would have dreamed of monitoring a private Facebook site to review comments made by people who may never again serve on active duty (such as Individual reservists with no unit affiliation) to try to root out disrespect to The Lightbringer. They aren’t going to touch people who are Antifa sympathizers or participants in BLM riots. They are going after one demographic and one political persuasion.

If they purge all of the conservatives who voted for Trump, I wonder how many will be left to defend this Republic... from Russia? No ...from China No... from Iran No... from ex-military who are conservatives who probably voted for Trump...now you’re catching on.
Well they are going to start letting the transgenders back in now, so there is a source of new recruits. The trannies like the military, because the health insurance pays for all of their hormones and surgeries.
There won’t be much left except for carpet munchers, poofters, and the sexually confused.
That’s about 90% of the military.
Operation Trust - old Soviet plot to expose anti government types
Does such a removal from the military hurt your ability to get a job elsewhere or cut off VA benefits?
This is going to get worse. Bank records of those who “fit” a series of parameters turned over to the Feds, purges and cancelling people’s live and livelihoods will get worse as the dollar begins its inexorable decline from power.
The scenario today is reminiscent of the period prior to WWII. History doesn’t repeat but does a darn good imitation of itself. Grabbing the Great Reset as a panacea in answer to not only the virus, but the miserable choices made in the past are not going to do anything but backfire, badly.
Decline cannot be stopped. Terrible decisions made by the Feds are resulting in worse choices by those in power.
They have always known that, at some future time, they will want to use the military to support and empower their "final solutions"...
We will be experiencing some of those "solutions" by the end of summer...
With the purging now isolating the "troublemakers", many thousands of them will start simply disappearing by end of summer..
Unless...
“Rommel said that if that came to pass, his troops would not be there.”
We have no brass who even remotely approach Rommel’s stature.
“Well there will go about 90% of our military.”
Including blacks, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Cubans, Russians, Poles and everyone else who values freedom and put on the uniform.
And accordingly the Dem’s figure who needs the military anyway.
Actually, in this day and age it should be called Gentlemen’s Shooting Club
Shoot. Wrong slash
Nothing to worry about. Leftist are for the most part filled with spiritual cowardice that comes from knowing deep down inside that you are evil and wicked and damned for destruction.
Maybe all the NG in DC are a test run to see how long and difficult it is to screen 20,000 troops.
They have been rotating fresh bodies in since early January.
There won't be a military left if they do.
Chinese and North Korean troops are very loyal and obedient—Bidet would be pleased to get on his knees and worship them.
Glenn Beck: I’m sorry, can the DOD at least give us a DEFINITION of what it considers right-wing “extremism” before claiming our military needs to be purged?
There won’t be much left except for carpet munchers, poofters, and the sexually confused.”
After they purge the 90 percent of the military who voted for Trump they will have to start the draft. Only those whose parents voted for Biden will be accepted into the military.
