The Coming Military Purge
American Greatness ^ | 9 Feb, 2021 | Christopher Roach

Posted on 02/14/2021 10:23:28 AM PST by MtnClimber

An increasingly hostile ruling class, who conceive of themselves as occupying a disloyal, irredentist America, is a formula for weakness abroad and conflict at home.

One of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s first actions after confirmation has been to order a “60 day stand down” to combat extremism. This follows the widespread and mostly baseless establishment fantasy that “right-wing extremists” and “white supremacists” are running rampant and pose some immediate threat to the country.

The details and definitions will ultimately determine whether this campaign is a sensible one that is in keeping with the Constitution or ends up being a purge of the overwhelmingly conservative ranks of the military. No reasonable person would object to removing dangerous and disloyal people from the service, but such a limited goal is distinct from punishing those with merely dissenting and idiosyncratic views. For example, a recent briefing among the Army’s Special Forces singled out Pepe the Frog and the Gadsden Flag as signs of extremism. These popular symbols—one an historical American flag—are widely embraced among the mainstream Right.

Austin’s other priorities do not signal moderation or common sense. He has ordered the services to allow transgender members to serve and enlist, including the right to “medically-necessary transition-related care.” He has also purged defense advisory boards of hundreds of Trump appointees without regard to their qualifications.

Until further notice my response to any of the likely untrue BS coming out of the Biden faux presidency is “prove it!”.

Plenty of Republicans have been successfully primaried. Dave Brat defeating Eric Cantor is one good example. Donald Trump wiping the floor with 16 GOP establishment types in the 2016 Preisential primary is an even better one.

Yes, fraud exists. But it’s not as easy to commit as you seem to think. It’s a lot easier in Philadelphia and Detroit, and other deep blue corrupt cities, than it is in other parts of the country.

I’m as pissed off as anyone over the stolen election. But I’m really getting tired of this mindless, defeatist, knee jerk line of thinking. Fixing election fraud is a challenge, but it’s less of a challenge than finding enough good candidates to create a MEANINGFUL majority in the Senate and Congress.

Well!the way I see it is if the Imposter in the White House decides to throw anyone with a conservative thought out of the military that would be fine by me.

This Imposter is going to get the U.S. into a war and all he’ll have to fight with are his pre-programmed robots who think the same way he does.

Something tells me this is not going to do well. But then again it will only be his robots that will be lost.

The democrats are creating the army to oppose their agenda.

I think you meant to say they're creating the army to IMPOSE their agenda? Unfortunately, it appears that is what they're doing. Conservatives will be declared criminals, void of any rights, and can be machine gunned down without consequence.

I live in his district. Look what happened to him. The GOP threw him under the bus.

There is going to be no purge. I think Austin has been read the riot act by some of the Chiefs.

What an idiotic decision by the illegitimate Biden administration! If I was in the NG,I would quit in total, go home, join a militia and help train up Patriots.

I would encourage for 2-3 years, but then get out, if the PC crap is detrimental. Get the GI Bill, and should learn some useful “skillz” if needed.

I don’t think you are going to see a purge at all. Been talking to my friends who are active duty. There is no mention of this and stories about Austin backtracking.

We are being gaslighted into believing that the real patriots are the globalist corporatists, the critical-race theorists, the LGBTQ movement, the 1619 Project supporters, and the ones who want to subvert the Constitution by gutting our rights and safeguards; and that the “domestic terrorists” are those who defend the Constitution, defend American sovereignty, oppose racialist doctrine, and accept traditional Judeo-Christian values and a Christian worldview.

Oh boy. Wait until they see what the rank and file military do with Dilbert cartoons. After the Great Purge of extremism we won't be able to sail a ship or fly a plane. I can't want until the naval nuclear power goes woke. Graduating from nuclear power school is a sign of white privelege.

There's no need to purge the military. They're already compromised since their oath to defend the Constitution means nothing once they looked the other way at election fraud for the commander in chief and a non-natural born citizen, Kamala Harris, illegitimately sitting in the vice president's chair.

The Constitution cited as the authority for their commission or enlistment is the same Constitution they rejected.

Watch, just like in all communist countries there will be political officers installed in each unit with more power than the commander.

I didn’t validate anything or any of your foolish suppositions. Th VaGOP hated Dave Brat.

Senior officers. Most officers up to O3 or O4 are very conservative and patriotic. The conservative ones can usually make a LOT more money in the private sector once their ROTC or USMA obligations are finished.

The ones that remain are two types.

The super hard combat arms branch LTC and COL that were the superstars and actually care.

The uber leftist connected weasels.
