[SomeOtherGuy]

For those who are in the military, have kids who are, or are thinking about joining... this article describes (with some slant) what kind of political indoctrination and loyalty tests are coming right away.

Key item:

DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency colloquially known as “The Pentagon’s Brain,” recommended a brand new category called “Patriot Extremism,” which occurs when a citizen believes “the US government has become corrupt” or “has overstepped its constitutional boundaries”:

Far more in the article, of course.

While I don't see any issue removing actual neonazis and the like, the details in the article suggest that anyone who has a serious belief in the Constitution would be deemed a "patriot extremist." BTW, for those who don't know, the actual Oath of Enlistment requires loyalty to the Constitution and lawful government operating under it:

And the hits just keep coming.

Stalin thought this was a great idea too.....until the Winter War and the Reds got their teeth kicked down their throats by the Finns. Then came WWII and he was VERY lucky that even more Russians didn't fight for the Nazis or simply say, "Mother Russia has Munchausens, no thanks, that bitch can get what she deserves. I'm staying home!"....Many did, entire Baltic divisions were created in fact.

The SS had the qualities he is looking for, cool black uniforms too .

My Oath was ONLY to the Constitution, NOT any "government". Did they recently change something?

You know it's all going south when love of Constitution is deemed somehow negative.....****ing kunts.

Considering the oath is made to the Constitution, IF support for the Constitution becomes grounds for arrest, then it's time for soldiers to mutiny.

AS PART OF the Biden administration’s crackdown on domestic extremism, the Pentagon plans to launch a pilot program for screening social media content for extremist material, according to internal Defense Department documents reviewed by The Intercept, as well as a source with direct knowledge of the program.

An extremism steering committee led by Bishop Garrison, a senior adviser to the secretary of defense, is currently designing the social media screening pilot program, which will “continuously” monitor military personnel for “concerning behaviors,” according to a Pentagon briefing in late March. Although in the past the military has balked at surveilling service members for extremist political views due to First Amendment protections, the pilot program will rely on a private surveillance firm in order to circumvent First Amendment restrictions on government monitoring, according to a senior Pentagon official. Though the firm has not yet been selected, the current front runner is Babel Street, a company that sells powerful surveillance tools including social media monitoring software.
