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.

I disagree, they are all various types of swamp creatures. The Navy recently said they will embrace intersectionality, I would hope you are correct, however Dear Leader I (Obama) did it and it was not an issue. I think we are heading down that road.
Does someone in the military being purged under these rules lose the right to own a gun?
Vehemently disagree I’m inside and we see none of this. There is great disrespect and disregard of this Administration.
No doubt. Buckley did have a very extensive vocabulary.
I think that would only happen with a dishonorable discharge. I don't know what would happen with this. Any military or vets please step in if I am incorrect or with more info.
Obama purged the officer ranks. He did a very thorough job.
Good. More people on our side when they come for the guns.
We will always have need of upstanding, patriotic men and women in our armed forces. For your same and those you serve with, please don’t let your opinions of the current administration interfere with carrying out the lawful orders of your superiors. Remember that anyone can be monitoring these threads!
For your _sake_...
Fine. Every patriotic American you purge becomes a trained warrior for the People of the Constitution.
BINGO! You win.
Democrat controlled government is preparing to use the military against us in the streets.
Yes, The national guard “patrolling DC have passed Soros veting.
They are traitors to the US.
Exactly, thank you.
1. Recent MSM article talks about Austin meeting up with Milley. Only quotes Austin. IMHO, this meeting was made up... or Austin happened to be in the same room with Milley, and the words Austin spoke went in one Milley ear and out the other Milley ear. Milley probably figured there was some house fly buzzing around the room.
2. In Nov or Dec, Special Operations for Low-level warfare department command was placed from under the JCOS to directly under Milley. There was good reason for that. Will play out soon. There is a youtube/bitchute/etc 10-15 minute recording of Milley and head of Special Ops announcing this BIG change.
3. Also relevant, is a 4/27/61 JFK speech to press publishers talking about what's referred to above as "low-level warfare", but lays the groundwork for recent and upcoming events. It's on youtube.
Bravo Zulu!!!
The only difference between Biden’s purge and Stalin’s is that Biden isn’t killing those out of favor...YET.
In The Hunt for Red October, Captain Ramius had to first kill the political officer before he could put his plan in motion.
I predict that leftism-deniers will be put into work programs like cleaning bird poop off solar panels until they drop.
