Editor’s Note: In the wake of the January 6 Capitol riot, the Biden administration ordered the U.S. Navy to stand down its global operations and subject all members to what it characterizes as training to recognize and combat”extremism.” The piece below was written by an active duty military member who has about 20 years of service. This member has been deployed overseas in the war on terrorism multiple times. The piece describes the Navy’s “extremism stand-down,” what it includes, and what it leaves out. Ted Mahan is not the member’s real name.
Recently, my Navy unit held an “extremism stand-down” training that was required of all Department of Defense personnel, as mandated by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin here. According to Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, the purpose of the training was “to ensure service members and civilian personnel clearly understand the damaging effects of extremism and begin developing more effective, sustainable ways to eliminate the corrosive impacts extremist activity can have on our Force.”
That aim, of course, is laudable. Our Navy is diverse, and we are strong, not because of the diversity, but because of the unity we have as Americans regardless of race. When I go to sea or deploy on land, I know that the mission depends on those around me: good men and women of all races committed to defending our nation. Ultimately, they have my back too, and my life depends on them. Any attack on one is an attack on all. Right up to this point, I am 100 percent with the Navy brass’ goal.
Now the dingbat trying to dumb down the military. I swear this idiot government will stop at nothing to destroy America. I want my true American President back. Go Trump!
The focus of the training will involve the Democratic Party Anita black lives matter and other extremist elements trying to subvert the Constitution involved in sedition and treason
Unite the right! That’s the only thing that will stop these group think communist lemmings.
As this country’s Commander & Chief there will be no end to what he can do to our Military in his term or so long as he lives because he is not doing well in the mental compacity. When voting and after watching him for months & months prior to the election people could not see this could happen they had blinders on it was as clear as the handwriting on the wall. The election should not have been about the Left’s hatred of Trump but who was the best choice to run this country. He can mess up so much with the Left conducting his every move, the border fiasco, not assisting Texas in their recent catastrophic damage, making the days since he has been in office all about racism worse than the 50’s & 60’s put together. Prison criminals being able to vote and now what they consider children who have murdered behind bars free of life imprisonment or the death sentence. Yep it’s going to get worse.
Civil War Looming !!!!!
Nah….
