Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will direct a military-wide stand down to address extremism within the ranks he told top military leaders in a meeting Wednesday, according to his top spokesman.
Austin spoke frankly with the acting service secretaries and uniformed service chiefs about his concerns about extremism in the military, including white supremacism, said Kirby, who attended the meeting. The new defense secretary, who is the first Black leader of the Defense Department, wants the service leaders to better grasp how pervasive the issue is within their formations and work with leaders to stamp it out, Kirby said.
The leaders concurred with Austin’s belief the issue was problematic and perhaps more pervasive than past Pentagon officials have known, Kirby said.

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.
The decision to a hold a stand-down was made by Lloyd Austin, who made history by becoming the military’s first Black defense secretary after a long career rising in the ranks of the Army.
In his confirmation hearing, Austin underscored the need to rid the military of ‘racists and extremists’.

” about extremism in the military, including white supremacism”. So, anyone who voted for Trump (about 65% of the military) are now “extremists and white supremacists”. That’s it, destroy our military. We should not have unity in our Military, should we, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin? Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, why don’t you just surrender our military, to the communist Chinese military and the Russian military? After all, the Chinese and the Russians own Joe and Hunter. The Russians and Chinese have to be laughing at Washington DC. Lloyd Austin is a traitor to our Country.
Sounds about right. TRUMP supporters, be ready to get fired from the military “under other than honorable conditions”..
Well, I guess we all know how Austin got his job from Biden. Not by the skin of his teeth, but teeth of his skin. I suppose the only kind of extremists in the military are White? So thinks our Presidential traitor to his race, his religion, his gender, and now his country.
““Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
No Barry Goldwater moment in the elevation of this political general, just more of the same Democrat Poisonberry Swamp water that contains less and less liberty and justice for all, which always historically occurs in National Socialist states where the military is always purged of dissenters, right before the regular citizens get rounded up for a similar political purge.
Most great generals STAND UP to the challenge,,,never do they Stand down! Ike and Paton are spinning in their Graves. Had general Washington or Grant purged all their white extremists this general would still be picking cotton along side Obama.
It’s cause OBAMA Left the military in such a shambles, we’ve got NO GOOD Generals (or admirals) left… IMO at least.
It takes one to know one. How about addressing the communists in our ranks? What a strange and purposely divisive assessment and public comment . Where are his facts?. The military has been deliberately overlooking the stealth Muslims in their ranks for years. Could it be Defense Secretary Austin is a closet Black Supremacist? It would appear the only extremists in the military ranks are the race baiters that cry wolf every time they get in charge. These bureaucrats with their over inflated egos are the new paranoid, out-of-touch fear mongers that Biden has appointed. Who is perpetrating this big lie? I think we all know its the Divide-and-conquer global leftists that always seek to divide and destroy us.
What exacly do they feel white nationalism is if its anothet political correct pipe dream or what
White national is whatever they think or want it to be. It is the threat, any threat that exposes them, the threat that threatens their self-righteous claim to power. It is anyone or thing that is against them.
Biden will nominate retired four-star Army general Lloyd J. Austin to be secretary of defense.
Dang I am surprised that Low Blow Joe biden didn’t nominate a black female lesbian that is an illegal immigrant to be the secretary of defense.
Anyone who has served in the military, know that the blacks have their own groups/clubs and white people are unwelcome.
When I served aboard aircraft carriers, on the forward mess deck blacks would congregate and if you were a White peeon, you got harassed if you even just walk through the mess deck. Blacks are racist and are protected and are granted more privileges than White people in the military.
If you want to know who’s really in charge, just look at who you’re not allowed to criticize.
Not just that, but when YOU set up to say, play cards, they’d demand you let THEM into your games. BUT WHEN THEY WERE Playing cards/dominos/basketball etc, You BETTER NOT demand to be let in, if you’re white, as THAT WAS racist.
Trump had his chance to save America. Could have declared a National Emergency, then Military Court Justice. He didn’t, now America will suffer the consequences.
Something i’ve been saying for weeks, but have had a # of folks call me out for doing so…
But Biden and his National Socialists won’t hesitate to bring in the troops for demonstartion control,,,but only after the purge is complete.
AND toss them asside, once their “need” is done…
He’s just one man. You over estimate the power he had. Its obvious the Joint chiefs and others at the Pentagon did not like him or his policies. The fought him every step of the way. Biden can get away with anything. Trump couldn’t.
HE may be just one man, but MANY things bad in this nation, came cause ONE MAN IN charge did them.
He couldn’t even get his Attorney general to bring charges and indict the coup conspirators that obstructed every move he made before and after his election. Wake up, It ought to be clear by now, The Washington establishment is rotten to the core. If you hadn’t noticed the coup was successful. Especially once they used the pandemic to shut everything down. Everything he did during the past 4 years is being quickly undone.
I suppose I could be called a “silly boy” if I had actually expected better….
It is time for the military to ignore the new regime. This Sad Ham Biden and his presidential orders are really no different than dictators around the world. Where are the GOP, RINO’s, DEM’s that support our constitution and what are they doing about it? Following blindly.
RHINO’s and Dems don’t support our constitution….. taking their cue from Sleepy Joe, who takes his orders from the Squad. I can see us losing Israel as an ally down the road because of Joey’s lack of balls to stand up to Talib and for her outright hatred of Israel and he will probably close the embassy in Jersusalem so not to hurt the feelings of the Palestinians and give them back the Golan Heights district. WE ARE DOOMED for the next 4 years.
I’ve got news for ya. ITS gonna last MORE than 4 yrs.. Especially with their knowledge, that their FRAUDING of the election, will work again and again..
What a nasty bunch of individuals in charge of our country now. All of them playing the systemic racism, white supremacy, and Trump cult terrorist cards.
As it should be. I get they’re warriors and there’s a mindset to that. But they’re also employed by the American people to work together to defend our country as a whole. There’s no place for ranking whole groups of people within the American whole as superior or inferior. I’ve seen barely detectible hints of it in the local PD while volunteering as well. In the military soldiers of all races and cultures are supposed to work together for a common good. If they can’t do that, they don’t belong in the services.
AND who gets to define what is “Inferior’? Who gets to label what counts as a “White supremacist”???
The first question to ask what is extremism, the word’s meaning has lost much of its definition in the way it has been so casually thrown about by politicians and others to mean anything that ones finds subjectively ‘offensive’. Lately that has come to include diversity in ideology when cries of racism are used hide the actual free exchange of ideas as debating points to arrive at a solution. This smacks of a purge ala fascism or communism to create a military loyal to one political thought rather than to the country.
Just like always (it seems)< THE LEFT and only the left, will be allowed to define what is or isn't XYZ…
Remember when Stalin purged the Red Army? This plus the new House bill, #127, from Sheila Jackson, to register all guns, Fasten your seat belts.
WOW!
What about BLM & ANTIFI Supporters?
What about Black Nationalists Supporters?
What about any supporters of their cause?
Will they all get the boot.
In 1970 in Airborne School at Fort Benning Ga, I, and many others in our training experienced this.
Almost daily for 3 weeks in Training, an group of 15-20 Blacks would march up to the front of the chow line and break in front. These were not special people, just trainees like all of us. Everyone else (200+/- ) would grumble. We were trained to be tough, but not a damn person did anything about it, for fear of being called racist.
BUT Why? Now, the Armed services is blatantly going after white people.
SINCE ALL of those groups you mentioned are LEFTIST, they are of course “Authorized..”
None of this is going to end well..
I remember this well. A lot (not all) of blacks were openly hostile to “whitey”. They demanded to be at the front of the pay line or at the mess hall. We had self-proclaimed Black Panthers in boot camp. Were they singled out? Were they punished? No. Why? Because none of them was there voluntarily to begin with. They were all drafted. This occurred during the Vietnam war when most trainees were draftees. Just about everyone in boot camp didn’t want to be there. A lot of lower-middle class and poor kids were drafted to serve in Vietnam.
This folks, is the democrat party, the one that many of us have know about for years, the only difference you see now, they have been forced out of the closet by 4 years of Trump and now they have been forced into the spotlight because their 16 year plan (8 years obama and 8 years clinton) was derailed by we the people putting Trump in office for 4 years, they are 4 years behind with the plan and are in a bunch of trouble, the economic mess created by them (the deep state, the central bankers and the greedy traitors) is crashing. IF they cannot catch up to their time frame, we the people are going to get to see all the very corruption and scams they have been hiding for decades, there is fear, they are afraid there will be a revolt. Stay tuned, we may very well get to see it all, pay attention, all you see may not be as it seems.
Like I said before…. if you really want to know who’s in charge, just take a look at who you’re not allowed to criticize.
If General Austin goes into his job thinking white suprematism is the be all and all of it , he will be wearing blinders and have an Armed Service so divided they will be weak and disloyal to this multinational Country. White supremacy seems to be more a figment of the Democratic Party in particular those globalists who supported the riots and arsons, and those who pushed for disbanding the police. Without local police, with felons being freed, with no border protection, and with the Army being treated like traitors because of their skin color we might as well hand the keys to America to the first army that comes over. The only way this new political agenda seems to identify a supposed WS is the color of their skin and if they actually believe they have the rights the Founding Fathers gifted us.
What’s worse, is they STILL believe, they are honoring their oath TO UPHOLD our constitution.. WHILE trying to use it as toilet paper.
Let put it this way. If every soldier in the army was black. The Democrats and their socialist stooges would still be determined to root out white supremacy within the ranks. White supremacy isn’t just skin deep it the devil inside that must be destroyed.
Actually they’d whine, that the military is RACIST< as it only HAD blacks. They'd complain "Why isn't WHITEY in the military?!"
Some can be dressed up and told they are educated but give them authority and their level of intelligence and ability to do a job will show it’s true ugly, racist, satanic colors. So I would assume he got where he is because some white person “let” him. If that’s is the case then some white person really made a bad bad mistake giving him his position instead of him earning it.
Communism can’t stand on its own merits, it needs the military to force people into compliance, so the military purge begins to get rid of all non-communists or anyone who won’t be faithful to the corrupt regime. I hope our “real” military leaders see what’s happening and refuse to go along.
DO we still HAVE any real leaders, in the military left though? OR did obama already purge them all?
Not sure how many real military are left in the military BUT the real question is how many of them will be willing to destroy their career and life to stand up to the communists?
What happens when the military is purged of “white supremacists” – anyone who supported Trump? Biden is already calling for the military to be part of the vaccine process. Is that a predecessor for martial law or forced vaccines? US military is NOT to be used on US soil. CIA is NOT to investigate US citizens YET they have announced they are working to root out and destroy domestic terrorists. Scary times. Now that dems know how to cheat in an election, they will ALWAYS have total control. The white snowflakes that supported them will be very surprised when they are also on the target list and their support of blm/antifa will get them NOTHING.
