This came into my inbox today from an Army lawyer (judge advocate). The reader gave me permission to post it if I left off his name and the names of mutual friends who urged him to reach out to me: I just read your piece, “Witness Against Wokeness” which reverberated strongly with me — not because I have any experience with Eastern European Communism, but because it is happening here and now and I am on the receiving end. I’ve already spoken with our mutual friends [names] about this matter and had hesitated to bring it to your attention. However, given the tenor of your latest article I have to warn you, the soft totalitarianism you’ve been trying to draw attention to is right in your own backyard. The great purge of Conservatives from the US military has begun; once the ranks are sufficiently cleansed then the overarching work to remake our country can begin in earnest. I am a part-time Army Reservist who has drilled for the past 4 years at the [unit] in [Louisiana city] and had recently transferred to the [unit near a different Louisiana city]. A week ago, I received my “Notice of Purge” in the form of a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (“GOMOR”) personally signed by Lt. Gen. Charles Pede, The Judge Advocate General of the Army (the guy who advises the Joint Chiefs of Staff and briefs at the White House). This is akin to Zeus looking down from Mt. Olympus and hurling a thunderbolt from on high to obliterate some unsuspecting peasant plowing in his field.

There will be no purge of conservatives from the ranks. We are on the verge of an explosion which will happen and the left will lose.
No, it’s being purged of Patriots.
There is no longer a political solution to the problems facing our nation.... (see last Nov.)
To the younger FReepers and those with children, sorry for the shit sandwich we are leaving you.
“There will be no purge of conservatives from the ranks. We are on the verge of an explosion which will happen and the left will lose.”
I want some of what you’re smoking.
“No, it’s being purged of Patriots.”
In the left’s view, they are the same.
My Commandant, Al Gray, would never have put up with today’s nonsense.
You always have something negative go say and are not in the middle of things so you can really see what’s happening. Lots of resistance going on.. Go smoke more negative Buffalo dung.
I see two scenarios coming out of this:
1. People in the audience hearing the ‘training’ session will laugh these instructors out of the room, and trigger a massive standing of disrespect (even directed at officers and senior NCOs).
2. You get so many people consumed with this ‘passion’....that trigger warnings start to occur hour by hour on each post/base/installation, and it starts to infect the operation of commissaries, BX’s, post offices, post gas stations, and even overseas military school operations. You could see forty people a day reported, and thousands of legal investigations opened....consuming hundreds of thousands of man-hours.
Of course they are, they need to because when they UNCONSTITUTIONALLY make DC a State and start packing the SC, they need the military on THEIR side of the destruction of the Constitution.
Eh, I may be negative, but I’m coherent. You enjoy that resistance, are you still trusting the plan?
No I am not trusting in the plan. How many high level officers do you interact or are friends with? I bet the answer is none.
Yes, we are. Every command in the Army has been ordered to conduct this training, pushed straight from the top.
Very true and it is not being looked at with enthusiasm.
“I bet the answer is none.”
Correct. I’m old, I was enlisted. I have one close friend who was an officer. I’m a realist. I watched what Obama did to the military. Now, Obama is at it again, only with a head start. Trump wasn’t able to eliminate the damage Obama did to the military.
People with proclamations that have nothing behind them irritate me. You should have said: Breaking! Bombshell! There is a resistance!
I see little evidence of resistance. Only sheep wearing masks.
I’m in and what was then is not now. The disdain for this policy and this government is spreading like wildfire.
Yes. Anymore questions?
“The disdain for this policy and this government is spreading like wildfire.”
I sincerely hope you’re right. I’m old, but I’m angry, and tired of this crap. It wouldn’t take much for me to resist.
What plan? Might I ask.
