Biden Defense Document Coaches Soldiers On How To ‘Report’ On Fellow Soldiers For Suspected White Supremacy
The Military Embraces Leftist Tactics

The Biden administration’s Office of the Secretary of Defense prepared a 13-page document to guide military leaders during the 2021 “Stand-Down” discussion sessions about the threat of “Extremism” in the military. That document (PRESENTED HERE) urged military service members to report any “concerning behaviors” exhibited by their fellow service members. The document disputes the idea that military members are protected by the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech to the extent that civilians are protected, noting that some speech in the military “may be restricted” and “will have consequences.” The document explicitly discusses “white supremacists,” “domestic protests” (in a clear reference to the January 6 pro-Trump protest at the Capitol), and threatens criminal penalties for military members.
Here are some of the “Suggested Talking Points” for unit commanders and supervisors: “On February 5, 2021, the Secretary of Defense directed unit commanders and supervisors at all levels to conduct a leadership “stand down” within 60 days to address the issues of extremist ideology in our ranks…Actively espousing ideologies that encourage discrimination, hate, and harassment against others will not be tolerated within our (unit/command/etc). I expect the core principles of dignity and mutual respect to guide the actions of the personnel in this unit/organization at all times, to include our conversations here today…The vast majority of the men and women in the United States military and those who serve the Department of Defense as civilian employees perform their duties and responsibilities with integrity, and do not support racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists, including white supremacists, and other domestic terrorists such as anti-government violent extremists. However, recent events have shown that we must be ever vigilant in our efforts
to identify and combat such ideology within the ranks and organizations.”
