Liking a Facebook Post Could Get Service Members Punished Under Pentagon 'Extremism' Policy
Townhall ^ | Dec 21, 2021 | Spencer Brown

Posted on 12/21/2021 1:14:18 PM PST by fwdude

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby announced a new "extremism" policy being rolled out by the Pentagon under President Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday that the Department of Defense says provides "increased clarity" on what amounts to "extremist activities" or "prohibited activity" by service members.

While Kirby "emphasized" that "the Department is focused on prohibited activity, not on a particular ideology, thought or political orientation," the new guidelines create a broad definition for "active participation."

No, this is not your father's Armed services. Nor your grandfather's. Nor your great grandfather's.

The Pentagon has become just another bloated, expensive, woke government bureaucracy.

““I swear by God this holy oath, that I will render to Adolf Hitler, Führer of the German Reich and People, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, unconditional obedience, and that I am ready, as a brave soldier, to risk my life at any time for this oath.””....

Whats old is now new again.

But phone calls by Milley to his Chinese counterpart are A-OKAY.

IMO, any officer who posts on Facebook should resign his/her/its commission.

The US government is the enemy, and the US military is the enemy's military.

Some decent but naive people may still be there, but they need to get out as soon as possible.

You can bet your last dollar that BLM and CRT are not considered extremist, but "mainstream".

Sean Connery knew how to handle Zampolits (Red October).

I need to invent a peripheral that to open up a social media app the user has to blow in a tube. More than two beers, all social media is blocked.

Do these rat bastards mean to tell us they have commissars screening “likes”? More likely they are paying exorbitant sums to Facebook swine to do the dirty work.

The state of a nation's military is a good indicator of how far in decline that nation is. It is a lagging indicator, not a leading one. That is indeed very bad news.

We’re the only thing standing between blind obedience and defense of the Constitution.

Small battles are ongoing within the DOD both administratively and legally.

There are those of us who still support and defend the Constitution and would stand in the way between what you call the “enemy’s military” and the people of the United States.

There are those of us who sacrificed yet again when we braved yet another experimental vaccine. And those of us, like me, who were injured by the vaccine in order to remain steadfast at our post in order to be a force for Constitutional protection.

Please don’t lump the military at-large with the political officers at the top. We have bad apples, but I know of no one who would obey orders to fight against Americans other than Marxists.

But, we pray the ballot box resolves any issues before it comes to that.

The military obviously needs political officers to make sure the troops express only state-sanctioned thoughts and opinions.

Maybe they can call these special officers ‘Zampolit’.

It has a nice ring to it.

That's a laugh. The ballot box is dead. But even if it isn't, each new iteration of Dem majorities and administrations gets exponentially worse, ratcheting us to the left. We are on a trajectory toward perdition.

I disagree. The ballot box is in peril, but it’s demise hasn’t yet occurred. There’s work to do for sure.

What work? Try protesting at the capital and you'll find yourself in jail on yet-to-be-decided charges.

What court will hear your petition regarding elections?

What more evidence will convince any on the left and their appointed magistrates to take action?
