209625, Navy Secretary forced out, causes division in military b/c of Trump
Posted by Case_One, Mon Nov-25-19 12:08 PM
This is a big deal that can metastasize into a major issue across the armed services. I know for a fact that the Morale of at the bottom due to this president. The armed services are failing to reach their recruitment and retention numbers. Mess like this can cause us to look weak to your adversaries and allies.

"I cannot in good conscience obey an order that I believe violates the sacred oath I took in the presence of my family, my flag and my faith to support and defend the Constitution of the United States," Spencer wrote in his letter to the President acknowledging his termination.

special team marines in an uproar bcs they can't kill civilians and surrendering combatants with no abandon?

this will be a blip for the rank and file

the real issue is with the high ranking officials, the way court martials will be viewed against the commander in chief etc.

trump tried to work around on a judgement that was actually good for the civilian killer

and now is making a mockery of the military judicial system

which has caused a split in the top brass

209650, Does the American Military Have a Problem with Far-Right Extremism?
Posted by navajo joe, Wed Nov-27-19 09:32 AM
https://psmag.com/social-justice/does-the-american-military-have-a-problem-with-far-right-extremism

Image Caption: U.S. Marines pose with a SS Flag in 2012.

Last month, a Coast Guard officer was arrested after an investigation discovered he was stockpiling weapons and preparing to attack politicians in Washington, D.C. The story of his arrest reignited a national debate about how American law enforcement approaches far-right domestic terrorism. But it also highlights a more specific link, publicly acknowledged by the Department of Homeland Security in 2009, between far-right domestic terrorism and United States military personnel and veterans.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the DHS, the agencies responsible for gathering information on and investigating domestic terror groups, once had task forces focused specifically on far-right-wing terrorism. In 2009 the DHS released a report on right-wing terrorism that highlighted the threat of far-right groups recruiting veterans to their extremist causes. Conservative politicians and media outlets jumped on the report, decrying it as an unfair assessment of both conservative groups and disrespectful toward American veterans. The backlash was so severe that the then head of the DHS, Janet Napolitano, publicly apologized for the report and dismantled the team responsible for tracking far-right threats.....

209651, @ navajo joe, Have you severed in the military or worked a corporate job?
Posted by Case_One, Wed Nov-27-19 10:05 AM
I'm trying to understand your reason for posting about White Supremacist in the Military as is this is something that should be shocking.

209652, Engage with the information or don't
Posted by navajo joe, Wed Nov-27-19 10:26 AM
The fact that you tried to make this about me when that is neither relevant to what you said above nor to the information in the articles provided is yet another indication of your inability to engage with anything that even remotely challenges you to think. That you would assume I find racism in the military to be shocking or surprising only further reflects your limitations. Nice try, I have one of several seats for you to choose from.

The links provided are to show that there is in fact that there has been a rise of far-right extremism within the military and that people are not just saying 'any old thing'

I know you're Pastor Contrarian crusader for domestic abusers and molesters and that you'll cape for anything because you fundamentally lack scruples but miss me with that shit.

I just asked you a simple question since you act like White Nationalism is something new in the military.

You can save all the hurt feelings and unresolved aggression. That mess doesn't move me in any manner of being. The fact that you still didn't answer the question is more Trumpian than anything and tell me about your fragile mindset.

But go on and shake those bells playa, you need all the attention you can get.
