Back Talk to the Commissars

Well, isn’t this interesting:

During military training sessions to address extremism in the ranks, some service members have challenged why the Pentagon is not treating the violence during racial injustice protests last summer as equal to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

That the two events are viewed as equivalent by some troops has caught the Pentagon’s attention in its effort to educate service members that extremist views and activity — on either side of the political spectrum — go against the oath they took when they joined the military, the top enlisted leader told reporters on Thursday.

“This is coming from every echelon that we’re talking to,” said Ramón Colón-López, the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “Some people may think that, ‘all right, so the events of 6 January happened. How come you’re not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that?’”

Go here to read the rest.  Troops aren’t idiots.  They know, generally, when they are being given a line of BS, and unlike most officers they are often gutsier about risking their careers and saying so.  The Pentagon, as they always do, will attempt to pretend the sow’s ear is a silk purse, but that they admitted at all that this is going on is significant.

Some officers need to be shot out of the torpedo tubes. That this never happened on my old submarine is a testament to the patience of the torpedomen. That was back at the end of the Carter and beginning of the Reagan Administrations when things were saner than today. Few on the submarine were those who supported that worthless, useless Democrat. Even though he was a former Navy nuke officer, Adm. Rickover (the father of the nuclear Navy) called him one of his biggest mistakes. When at sea (actually under the sea) we learned that Reagan won the election, the majority cheered and those who didn’t kept silent (an underwhelming minority). I am hoping today’s military men & women feel the same way. The above post gives me hope.

Godless worthless useless liberal progressive feminist Democrats. May they be forever anathema!

I imagine of they had had to sit through it, most would have slept.

Old saying, “Don’t urinate on my brogans and tell me it’s raining.”

“. . . why the Pentagon is not treating the violence during racial injustice protests last summer as equal to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.” Easy answer: Industrial Strength Vote Fraud has installed in seemingly unlimited power a small herd of evil people.

The slaves of Satan have many weak points. One is that they think we’re as [expletive-deleted] stupid as they are. They think they can delude we the people with their brazen lies. And, they think we ain’t too bright, either.

When it becomes apparent that we have nothing left to lose – look out.

Never underestimate your enemies.

The problem with the ECHO chamber the Progressives have created is that they don’t understand that they are the only ones who believe the propaganda they continually regurgitate.

The establishment may be salivating for a return to overseas military adventures but the political and senior military leadership have exposed themselves as frauds to those needed to fight wars.

If a military adventure triggers a recruitment and retention crisis. I wonder if Biden will be willing to re-establish the draft.

The Chinese had a choice of whether to laugh at us or rail against us at the meeting in Alaska yesterday. They chose the latter in public and the former in private.

When they spent decades conditioning kids to be disrespectful to legitimate authority, it finally comes home to roast as disrespect for their illegitimate authority.
