How the Pentagon Plans To Combat Extremism in the Military
Mil & Intel   

By Maggie BenZvi | June 05, 2021

In his first days as secretary of defense, Lloyd J. Austin III ordered a military “stand-down” to address political extremism within the ranks. As the months go by, it’s becoming clear that the stand-down was only the beginning, and the government’s push to weed out extremist elements is growing stronger.

“What is new is the speed and pervasiveness with which extremist ideology can spread today thanks to social media and the aggressive organized and emboldened attitudes many of these hate groups and their sympathizers are now applying to their recruitment and their organization,” Austin said in February about the purpose of the stand-down.

In April, Austin announced the establishment of the Countering Extremism Working Group, led by Bishop Garrison, senior adviser to the defense secretary on human capital and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We now know that there is a threat from other planets as their spaceships fly unimpeded through US and allied airspace. There are so many sightings, so many incidents, that we must address the problem immediately. It must become a priority. Since there are more sightings of spaceships reported in the military than incidents of extremism in the military, I would suggest that the threat from interplanetary forces become a higher priority than the threat of extremism in the military, although BOTH should be addressed.

The first thing they need to do is immediately take all those icky guns from them!

Then maybe add in some sensitivity training.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

You are right of course,and I hang my head in shame at forgetting the importance of such essential training.
