Soldiers "from every echelon" of the US military have been openly questioning why last year's violent BLM and Antifa riots weren't treated like the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a comparison which has flown sideways up the ass of the military's top enlisted leader, Chief Master Sergeant Ramón "CZ" Colón-López.
In a Thursday briefing at the Pentagon, Colón-López (CZ) told reporters that some troops have asked "How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that? [Jan. 6 riot]"
"This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to," CZ added.
The Pentagon is freaking out bc the extremism standdowns are backfiring and the troops keep asking about BLM riots and Antifa https://t.co/SGre8T7rNT — Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) March 20, 2021
According to Military.com, CZ told reporters that he is "concerned about the way that some people are looking at the current environment."
Colón-López said the confusion some younger troops have expressed shows why the training sessions on extremism are needed.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the stand-down Feb. 5 and gave units across the military 60 days to discuss extremism in the ranks with troops.
The military's policies are clear, he said: Troops are not to advocate for, or participate in, supremacist, extremist or criminal gang doctrine, ideology or causes. -Military.com
Others are wondering why leadership's view is so disproportionate.
Similar that's ridiculous. The Capitol riot was 1 day. BLM had 600+ in just 90 days & they have the support of the mainstream media. Way bigger threat https://t.co/eEOubfM5Qf — Sean Fitzgerald (@IamSean90) March 20, 2021
CZ claims that the military 'remains an apolitical organization,' and that it doesn't matter if extremist groups are far left or right, adding "both are off limits."
"If it's an organization that is actually imposing harm, threat, destruction, criminal activity and so on, then we don't condone that behavior," he said, adding "We're focusing on letting people know exactly what the oath tells us to do when it comes to obeying lawful orders, remaining apolitical and basically being good stewards of society."
But as the training sessions took place, some themes emerged that worried leaders.
Those conducting the sessions wanted "to make sure that military members understand the difference between Seattle and [the Jan. 6 riot in] Washington, D.C.," Colón-López said. "But some of our younger members are confused about this, so that's what we need to go ahead and talk to them about and educate them on, to make sure that they know exactly what they can and cannot do." -Military.com
According to CZ, 'younger troops need to be educated' on the difference between the broad (Marxist-organized) BLM and Antifa movement and extremists within said movements.
Meanwhile on Saturday... it begins again:

Nothing to see here - just a group waving a communist flag that wants to disband the country's law enforcement and usher in a state of lawlessness. Totally different from the January 6 'insurrection.'
Well, everybody’s already thinking we’re in for CWII.
How easily would it start if the military cashiered out thousands of troops because they wouldn’t swear allegiance to BLM, LBGQT (emphasis on T), the 2020 election wasn’t rigged, Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, and oh yeah, abortion uber alles.
That’d be great.
When the military gets involved in a public pissing contest with Tucker Carlson, and now this, what is going on?
Not recommended for promotion at this time.
Tends to get confused when given conflicting orders.
The SJW’s have taken over the military, that’s what’s going on.
Bullshit. The story is obvious. Our troops see clearly the double standard. They’re breaking it off in the Commander’s ass. The situation is untenable for leadership, when you must lie, you cannot tell the truth, to your own troops. We’ve never been here before. They know it’s wrong. Trust is being eroded.
this is a problem
and i hope our boys see it for what it is
The National Guard at DC have been vetted for thekir willingness to shoot us.
They are traitors and deserving of death.
Ditto.
They should be conscientiously objecting.
The fact is Austin (and all the other leftist criminals in this Satanic Cabal) would have dinner with BLM-ANTIFA terrorists before he would sit down with Trump voters.
....And the inherently dishonest POS leftists will spend every waking moment pushing the LIE that anyone who doesn’t agree with them is a “terrorist extremeist.”
When the day comes for the US Military to receive orders to kill We The People, I believe the lower enlisted will be rightfully stacking the dishonorable NCO’s and Officers like cordwood before it’s all over.
Romania proved this in December 1989, and the Stalinists here will meet the same fate as Ceaucescu and his psychopath loyalists.
They were the physical embodiment of Nazi terror and answerable only to Hitler.
The American military swears and oath to ‘’preserve the Constitution and swear allegiance to the same''. Incidentally the Waffen SS were combat troops organized into armored units. SS bastards none the less.
Yep. There was also a division in Romania circa December 1989.
The abused civilians and Romanian Army Enlisted Troops joined forces, and served plenty of Just Desserts to all who had their overdue Day of Reckoning.
Trust me when I say this; the Stalinists here will learn an even more powerful lesson when they try the same Ceaucescu-style shit on We The People.
Bttt
I would imagine that they are trying to paint a different picture from reality of the “commander in chief”, Wobbles Biden.
The purges have already started...
Many many times in history prove you wrong. The soldiers follow their paychecks
The democrat party is a front for organized crime.
