Yeah, it’s mandatory until you try to out the next Major Hassan, then you get thrown under the bus.
Isn't that the point, to out those who are resistant to "change"? A program designed to encourage alertness and patriotism, by the people who need to identify and eliminate the soldiers who won't let beast.mil dictate their value system. Can't be cynical enough wrt this crowd. I have to go on the premise that nothing is as it appears on its face, but most likely a ruse, just more Gotcha! games.
Better to silently observe and take note of who is *trustworthy* so when SHTF, the proper network may be established. After all, the malevolent operate in plain sight with impunity (e.g. Hassan), so the PTB already have demonstrated a certain lack of interest in ousting the true enemies of America.
