Pentagon, stumped by extremism in ranks, orders stand-down in next 60 days

[Fred C Dobbs II]

If I was an American with some sort of authority I would have you brought in for questioning.

And Canada is moving in that direction. You can watch another famed Canadian here who'll explain it to the masses.. https://www.steynonline.com/11023/when-free-speech-becomes-a-right-wing-fetish

Something similar happened at Fort Hood during my last hitch. They suddenly sort of descended on a few units and started pitching people out of the army for gang affiliation.

Different duty stations had different problems. Ft Bliss had drugs being so close to the border. Germany had problems with young Soldiers getting drunk and stupid with the drinking age being 18. Ft Riley we had a bunch of Soldiers getting in fights with college guys from K State. At Ft Sam, a lot of DRs and RNs got popped for prescription drug abuse.

I'm talking both Democrats and Republicans here.
I'm talking Americans and America.

Neither of your two major parties = racism exclusively.
Currently it's just the Democrats who are taking the denial side! The Republican side would just rather sweep it under the carpet and pretend it's not Trump's main schtick.

Then you're not familiar with the issues and should concentrate on what's going on at home.

 

[Paradoxical]

Jezze, Drama queen much?

Republicans are not a problem.

Ask AOC and Pelosi, Shumer, Ilhan and................

 

[Questerr]

In the minds of the left “racist” and “white nationalist” just mean non-leftist, the Washington post ran an article attributing Trumps many black and Latino supporters as supporting “multi-racial whiteness”

You have no leg to stand on when you support implementing an absolute monarchy with no rights to free speech.

Damn, i did not know they were in the military. When did they sign up?

The poster was not responding to the military in particular. You can read it again for assurance,

That is what the thread is about.

Good point.

The usual suspects are really telling on themselves here once again. It would be funny, if it wasn't also equally tragic.

As I said before it’s a good thing you have zero power.
But it is funny to see you acting exactly like the people you were just screaming about.

Thankfully, the US is not a tyranny....unlike the PRC. You actually have to have a reason in the US to “bring someone in for questioning“.

 

[Moderate Right]

The Pentagon did not define whether stand-downs pausing regular activity across the U.S. military might last minutes or hours, or what commanders would do during that time to express opposition to extremism.

I would have thought that DoD would have fleshed this move out a little more before announcing it.......

I don’t like the sound of this.......

i know some folks that think there is a high percentage of Republican supporters in the military.

Pentagon, stumped by extremism in ranks, orders stand-down in next 60 days

The U.S. military on Wednesday acknowledged it was unsure about how to address white nationalism and other extremism in its ranks, and announced plans for military-wide stand-downs pausing regular activity at some point in the next 60 days to tackle the issue.

LOL. I wondered how long it would be before leftists started crying, "deep state".

Here's my reply that is fitting for your comments.
In America they don't bring black people in, they shoot them dead on the streets to save the trouble. Your irrational hate for China deserves no better.

Maybe if they had removed the racists names and confederate flags from military bases earlier it would have been more apparent that the military didn't support racism.

Is it really true that Confederate flags were being flown on military bases up until recently? Or still are?
Just how serious is the threat to America of their military's hearts and minds be lost to the attempted fascist overthrown of democracy?

Deadly serious or just being proactive with precautions?

 

[Montgomery]

Canada has its racists Fred, but America's racism problem is in a category by itself on account of the sheer size of the problem and the resorting to murder by the police as their only answer to fighting the problems.

The confederate flags were more displayed by soldiers, I don't think thery were actually flown.

Yes, that would be reasonable to expect. And so the trouble brewing within would have been noted and recorded on each military base before the announcment of the stand-down. They would be fully aware that the offenders would go to ground.

And so now it's a question of the authorities on each base being properly motivated to uphold America's democratic government. Perhaps the majority will but the rot likely runs so deep that some won't root it out. Some high ranking military staff are taken in by the Trump regime's ambitions. It's festered for too long now to be put down completely and swiftly.

I'm afraid you are correct. And we are not seeing any stand down in local police departments, the cancer is there as well.

In China, meanwhile, they carve their prisoners up for their organs....including the folks who are only in jail because they had the misfortune of being related to people who dared to oppose the CPC.


Squealing about what a victim you think the regime is is fairly pathetic.

It could be considered to be a humanitarian gesture to harvest organs from executed political traitors who acted against the state.

Any and all religion based interference of their superstitious beliefs must be nipped in the bud, for the good of China's huge population that is dependent on equality.

China can't afford the luxury of tolerating any disruptions of the their system, neither domestic of foreign!

America's experience serves as a stark warning of trouble being brewed in China!

It’s a special kind of ludicrous to claim that carving people you threw in jail for the “crime” of opposing you up for their organs is a “humanitarian gesture“.

If it was actually about “equality“ the CPC would allow free and fair elections, stop trying to exterminate the culture of the Tibetans and Uighurs, and cease the brutal crackdown on their own people.....none of which is happening any time soon.

Any system that needs tanks firing into crowds to ensure its own supremacy is a system doomed to failure.

China’s totalitarianism means that, just like the USSR before it, it will never overtake the US.

If the police were deliberately setting out to murder people the stats would probably be a great deal higher than they are now. And they will also be a great deal higher were they to be 'defunded'.
