Pepe has been a meme mascot for years at r/TheDonald => TheDonald.win => Patriots.win. This isn't extremism, it's political memecraft.
The narrative being pushed here is dangerous.

An Army commander recently briefed U.S. Special Forces candidates and trainees they could be detained or chaptered out of the Army if they are found affiliated with certain imagery popular on the political right that is now considered to be associated with extremism, Breitbart News can exclusively reveal.
The briefing, by Army Col. Mike Henry, MD, deputy commander of Special Warfare Medical Group (Airborne)/Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center at the U.S. John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (JFKSWCS) at Fort Bragg, came two days after President Joe Biden was inaugurated, a source familiar with the briefing said.
Henry is responsible for training over 2,500 Army and Navy Special Operations medics.
Around the time of the briefing, slides from the New York Police Department Intelligence Bureau were also posted around the Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center (JSOMTC) and distributed to soldiers. The slides, dated January 14, listed and described about two dozen symbols, ideologies, and memes considered to be “associated with or appropriated by domestic violent extremism.”
The slides said:
Recent high-profile mass-casualty attacks in the West have demonstrated the enduring threat posed by a wide range of racially/ethnically motivated violent extremists and conspiracy-driven malicious actors, including those inspired by far-right, neo-Nazis, and white supremacist worldviews. Due to his concerning trend, NYPD Intelligence Bureau advises law enforcement to maintain awareness of key symbols, icons, and graphics associated with or appropriated by domestic violent extremist movements that — in some cases — were observed during the January 6 deadly and destructive riot at the US Capitol.
Soldiers were told the list came from the Department of Homeland Security and was an updated list of what federal and local law enforcement need to be “on the lookout for,” according to the source.

...and are now worried that they may be kicked out or punished for past affiliation.
If you're looking for extremist behavior I'd say you have found it right there. Punishing people for personal political beliefs - how very Brown-Shirt of the left...
Its a political purge by the 0bama Officer corp - this is how they get to their very own military to use when and where they see fit on US soil against wrong-thinkers.
somebody put together some memes in one video
i guess since trump is in it dancing you would get the boot for extremist views

although, perhaps it is Bernie extremism that would get them fired
I always thought the frog was a navy thing, and was associated with demolition divers or something. But, then again, it could be the French.
yup.
KEK!!!
Get ready for your military belongs to the CCP
At the rate things are going with the military they are going to be the peoples enemy pretty soon.
I think this is done because the communists and globalists want to use the US military against the people and they need Americans out in sufficient numbers to take it over.
If you continue to play into their hands by referring to them as democrats, they win... You are playing their game...
The disease is "communists" not "democrats" ...
Anyone who voted for them is a communist-supporter and, therefore, the enemy as well...
Call a spade a spade...
And they expect these men and women to actually put their lives on the line with this kind of bull$hit?
I understand, but the reality is that there are not enough Democrats who can be called loyal Americans that we need to use the term to include loyal Americans.
Democrats and liberals are dead terms for what they used to mean.
They'll be changing that next.
No Pope, but is a rainbow patch ok?
They are also no longer allowing the Thin Blue Line flag and flags like it (thin red/green line), any Gadsen flag, the Tree flag, Betsy Ross flag, other historical American flags, flags with “1776” in them, and “excessive” display of the American flag or patriotism (No American flags outside what is issued, no patriotic bunting or over celebration of American patriotic days). Also any Second Amendment imagery will be banned.
But the Dems plan to cut the military by at least 50% so they hope this gives them a head start.
It looks like they would require the swastika. That's what they're acting like.
Like BLM and Antifa?
The Biden military must rid themselves of any conservative member they think wouldn’t obey an order to open fire on American citizens peacefully protesting.
We tried to tell ya’ll what was coming when they started on the battle ensign of the Army of Northern Virginia. Quite a few said the Confederacy was a bunch of traitors and slave owners so it was okay. Fine. Now a Celtic cross, an OK signal and God knows what all is verboten. Where does it end? When Stone Mountain is blown up?
The military has to be subjugated by the left to continue their plans for this country. But trust me, this did not start last month, it started on Obama’s first day and while Trump put big money in the military, he did nothing to root out the Obama era scum that were in very high positions by that time.
Agree...
I'm old enough (87) to remember Democrat politicians and democrat voters who were American patriots...
