Dude, the policies are already in place and came from the Pentagon; no IG is going to overturn them. Or did you miss the whole 'extremism standdown', the Pentagon saying white supremacists are the nation's biggest threats, the AF Sec saying 'there are too many white pilots' amid a pilot...

What DoD officers breaking what policies? Did you actually even read what his book was about or what he said on the podcast? He was criticizing the woke, social justice bullshit, and Critical Race Theory based policies in the DoD, not specific officers.

And what would he have told the IG? "Marxist theory and communist ideology is becoming pervasive in the US military and leadership, can you do something about that?" Please don't lie to me and say anything actually would have come of that. No, this officer did the right thing, and is being...

Zach, did you actually read the articles I linked? The guy did go through proper channels to his book, and had no problems till the podcast. Also, IG reports get buried or dealt with behind closed doors. This officer knew that won't work for what he was trying to whistleblow on, so instead he...

Yes, I know what you told me, and that informs what I said. The fact the DoD considers Marxism a legit political ideology is a travesty, and shows just how much ground the Right has lost in the culture war. Once upon a time criticizing Marxism while in uniform was seen as a patriotic thing to...

Looks like this firing is going to be a mess for the DoD now that Reps and Senators are getting involved. If the military wants to act like Marxism is a legit ideology under the regs, don't be surprised when there is political backlash from the Right.

The whistleblowers book is blowing up on book sales sites. The military is going to take a black eye from going after this man, and he will only be getting more defenders as time goes by.

No, and the fact the US military grants that legitimacy to Marxist/communist theory scares me. It is one thing to try to understand and examine it to better understand our enemies. It's wholly another to grant it the legitimacy of being able to be considered legit 'political discussion' for...

That the US military now considers Marxism a legit political theory for this sort of thing does not bode well for our nation.

Oh, so the military consider Marxism a 'political' issue now, that explains a lot.

Per that article, he didn't speak politically on that, unless you mean that he critizied Critical Race Theory and the assertions by DoD highers ups as him being 'political'. And he won't be without allies for long; his story is blowing up all over Twitter: Whatever happens to him, it won't be...

Yes, I saw what you linked, and I saw what was said in the article. It still seems like he was not engaged in anything actually political, and his actions are being considered political because they are call out the way the military has allowed itself to go woke.

Which ones, because from what that article says and what the officer is claiming, the 'engaging in politics' bit seems to be an invention of the people who want to get rid of him. He went through the proper channels for his book it seems, and had no issues related to this till he went on that...

Ok, here's an article with more details. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/space-force-officer-relieved-from-post-after-criticism-critical-race-theory-marxism Edit: As you can see, the man was trying to warning about how the military is not as apolitical as is used to be, and did not...

No, I did not know NSC is not 'active duty', and my impression was the officer in question was active duty as part of his work with the NSC. I haven't seen anything that is stopping the woke and Marxist BS that they are trying to push. I know the 'extremism standdown' resulted in enlisted...

I am going to point out to you that regs have not stopped Leftist officers from being placed in the DoD and turning our military into a giant woke social experiment, because 'social justice isn't political'. Or have you forgotten the whole 'White Supremacists are the biggest threat to the...

No, you are not allowed to be 'conservative' and political in the military. However you can spout all the woke bullshit you want and nothing will happen, because 'social justice causes aren't political'. Stop pretending the military hasn't been operating on a double standard about what is and...

The USAF isn't just lowering their standards. The are now actively purging anyone who calls out the Marxists and Marxist policies that are being placed in the DoD by the Dementia and Chief.
