Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
No gibs for you.

Insert Politicians joke here....How the hell did that happen? I thought giving free stuff to illegals was the Democrats' thing.
Coof happened....How the hell did that happen? I thought giving free stuff to illegals was the Democrats' thing.
The briefing, by Army Col. Mike Henry, MD, deputy commander of Special Warfare Medical Group (Airborne)/Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center at the U.S. John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (JFKSWCS) at Fort Bragg, came two days after President Joe Biden was inaugurated, a source familiar with the briefing said.
Henry “told us that if anyone gets caught wearing, buying, selling, affiliated with in any way, any of those things on those list, that the first thing he’s going to do is chapter us out of the Army. The second thing is, he’s going to handle the investigation by sending it over to the DHS,” the source said. “He didn’t quite outright say that we would be arrested, he used the word ‘detained.'”
Some of the imagery on the slides clearly refer to hate symbols, such as a swastika or other Nazi-related symbols. However, also included is “Pepe the Frog” — an internet meme frequently posted by members of the political right to troll the political left. The slides, obtained by Breitbart News, said this about the meme:
Other imagery on the slides included those associated with QAnon, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, the National Social Club 131, the “Kek” flag, the Boogaloo movement, the National Socialist Order, 14, 88, the swastika, the sonnenrad or sunwheel, the SS, the Celtic Cross, the WP “okay” hand symbol, the Archangel Michael Cross, the “Othala Rune”, the “Norse Algis Rune”, the “Totenkopf”, the Universal Order symbol, the nuclear symbol, and the ((( ))) “echo.” The descriptions of QAnon and the Oathkeepers are also accompanied by photos of protesters at the Capitol on January 6.
You also seem to think the military can't say no...@Zachowon , what exactly stops a pro Biden appointment, when Biden asks them to jump, from asking how high?
If a political appointment points at you and calls you a racist subversvie, how much protection do you really have?
You place I think a little too much faith that the dictators will respect the rules. And based on the stories in hearing from some active duty, I think you overstimate how loyal the soldiers will be to each other when there is a reward for betrayal.
Still not wrong.It looks like @Zachowon maybe wrong.
...And you seem to think the government can't just dismiss anyone who refuses to comply with their ever-increasingly authoritarian mandates. I think we're about to see how much power our military really has, in comparison to the state; and if the state doesn't like the answer, I fear they may do something drastic to assert their authority.You also seem to think the military can't say no...
The military can also be sued, and one can win said lawsuite. Beilive it or not....And you seem to think the government can't just dismiss anyone who refuses to comply with their ever-increasingly authoritarian mandates.

I kinda get the feeling the establishment would like to replace our military with what the CCP have; a brainwashed personal army who's loyalty rest with them, and not the country as a whole. Not that I'd expect the military to let that happen without a fight, but neither do I expect the establishment to not at least attempt to turn them into such a thing. Things are going to get intense for the foreseeable future.The military can also be sued, and one can win said lawsuite. Beilive it or not.
Because if banning the stuff they want to ban includes RELIGIOUS iconography, especially of religions they allow within the military, they are saying something they will regret and it will turn on them.
The military makes plenty of stupid decisions.
Yet even ones they think will work, like SHARP and EO seem to...not be the best. Ft Hood for example.
The doffremce being the CCP military arnt given the ability to say no to an order without death on the table.I kinda get the feeling the establishment would like to replace our military with what the CCP have; a brainwashed personal army who's loyalty rest with them, and not the country as a whole.

And I've no doubt they intend to take that ability away from you; or indeed, from all of us.The doffremce being the CCP military arnt given the ability to say no to an order without death on the table.
We can. We have.
They will not win that fight. There are plenty of high upside that are against that, and there are just to many areas for that to be stopped in the chains of commandAnd I've no doubt they intend to take that ability away from you; or indeed, from all of us.
I want to believe that you're right about that, but well... that's what I felt about the election too. I believed they wouldn't win, that they couldn't win; but then they did. There should have been so many things standing in the way of their blatant cheating, and yet it all seemed to evaporate the moment the establishment needed it to. I suspect you may be overestimating the integrity of your superiors, and underestimating the power of blackmail and bribery.They will not win that fight.

Dude, they're literally saying that they're going to arrest service members via Homeland Security for internet memes, which they're labeling "extremist." If the military has no way of telling the government to fuck off over that, just how do you propose the military stands up to anything? They're doing this specifically to purge the armed forces of the kinds of people who would actually keep to their oaths and not obey any illegal orders.They will not win that fight.

I'm just telling you the truthI want to believe that you're right about that, but well... that's what I felt about the election too.

Only time will tell I suppose; but the fact remains that I am very worried for the future of this nation, and I think you should be too.
You do know the Military can't assume something is a meme right?Dude, they're literally saying that they're going to arrest service members via Homeland Security for internet memes, which they're labeling "extremist."

It wont. Because as long as no pictures are taken all is fine, and outside of divers, unless you have a snowflake no one caresRemoving the "OK" sign is going to really hurt any underwater operation considering that's part of the sign language divers use to communicate underwater, and in fact the first sign they're taught and the most important one.
