Did they denounce the Dallas cop shooter as well?

...DOD has a longstanding policy of encouraging members to carry out the obligations of citizenship, officials said. DOD encourages its military and civilian members to register to vote and vote as they choose, they said. Both groups can sign nominating petitions for candidates and express their personal opinions about candidates and issues.

However, officials emphasized, they can do so only if they don’t act as, or aren’t perceived as, representatives of the armed forces in carrying out these activities...

...The bottom line, officials said, is that they should steer clear of any activity that may be reasonably viewed as directly or indirectly associating DOD or the military with a partisan political activity...

Trump ALSO condemned racists and so called “White Nationalists”, but if by their Tweets the military officers are attempting to give a pass to “Antifa” - THEY NEED TO PUBLICLY TWEET THEY CONDEMN ALL THE VIOLENCE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE - then they should be fired. Let’s not forget they all got to their positions during Obama’s reign.

They chiefs said nothing against racism that Trump did not see.

The NBC story line that their Tweets were a rebuke of Trump is total fake news.

As to the one Tweet that concerned an image said to be some guys giving a Nazi salute, that image has been cropped and you cannot be sure it is a salute or if they are signalling to some opposition protestors to stand off.

I thought those Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon were supposed to be about killing enemies and breaking their things, not playing in internal politics. Obama left his odious mark on everything, apparently.

In the video you can see him, because he has on the light blue backpack and the black jacket with the white strip on the arm. He stays with Pink Shirt.

Recall all the suggestions for a military coup? This is just the JCS laying the foundation for “he’s not my President” and easing the way for a coup to happen. We’re in deep do-do with leaders like this. Mattis needs to grab them by their staking swivels.

Excuse me, but would someone explain to me how what the Join Chiefs said differs from what the President said in any meaningful way?

Some people around here seem to be accepting the Media's phony premises.

There's no "break" here. This is utterly fake news, and giving it any credence is ludicrous.

Look at what the President has said. Now look at what the Joint Chiefs have said.

Where's the contradiction, exactly? I don't see it...

Fake News.

They stated only what Trump has already stated, and they did not contradict Trump.

This is NBC (Nothing But Communism) falsely claiming Trump did not say rebuke racists of all colors, and falsely claiming the military contradicted him.

Would that be the same Mike Cernovich that want Singe Payer Healthcare, that would be, Socialized Medicine and a Universal Basic Income?

And would it be the same Mike Cernovich that is a White Nationalist?

I’m white and I’m pretty much pro-American and America First. Does that make me a “white nationalist?”

Now that “victim” Dre Harris is shown with a weapon and a mask, do you disavow?
