I’m on the fence actually... my ACLU side says who’s definition are we using?
My hippie side says soldiers rep America...
Not if you're the one pulling the trigger! You support men who think that anyone who acknowledges biological truth is an "extremist"! That a boy who refuses to wear a dress on urging is an "extremist"! That think anyone who voted for literally anyone other than Xi's puppet is automatically the same as bin Laden.
No one suffering such delusions should have command of ANY army, let alone sole, centralized command of all troops everywhere!
If you were going after mad bombers, that's why we have local militias! Deeerrrp!!! If you're going after a boy in a red baseball cap, because you mistake it for a MAGA hat when it could be a Detroit Red Wings cap for all you know from that distance, and your policy is to shoot first and ask questions never... there is no law under Heaven or Earth that is ever valid, which justifies you doing this. And if you think otherwise, #MayApophisFallOnYellowstone
Moreover, the Dems let the SPLC, which is itself a hate group, make all their policies for them! How utterly worthless! They think anyone who has ever owned a Gadsden flag is part of a "hate group"! Worthless and psychotic delusion! They think anyone who has ever posted a Bible verse on a sticky note on their desk is an "extremist"! Again, absolute bullshit definition!
Why can't anyone see that those shouting "extremist" the most, are the real extremists themselves, doing it to excuse the evil they are about to do anyway?
No, because according to leftists litereally every one is an extremist if that person doesn't agree with them politically. They claimed the tea partiers where a hate group/terrorists despite the fact that they argued for. . . lower taxes. Also they had only one incident of violence at their rallies and that was a leftist violently attacking a tea partier. So no, because I do not trust your judgment in general and definitley not enough to decide whether or not a person is aloud to live their life or not. I hate authoritarians and sadly our entire system has been hijacked by them yet you wouldn't let me bar you from anything because I think you forcing every one to think like you is extreme, so why should you have that power?
If you are an open member of a hate group you'd get paperwork and I don't even know what else.. but the military has zero tolerance for that shit.
"Civil liberties"?
You're a member of the military, government property, you're a representative of whatever branch you're in. You signed a contract and don't have the same "liberties" as civilians. If someone is worried about that then don't join.
Why would military obtain the same liberties as civilians when they are serving a purpose higher than themselves. The military doesn’t give a shit if your black, white, or Mexican. In my first unit, My gunny was black. My ssgt was Mexican. My sgt was white.
Marine Corps specifically doesn’t give a shit about you as an individual. Again, you’re serving a purpose higher than yourself. You as an individual do not matter. You’re treated like shit no matter your race. Civilians tend to bitch about issues that aren’t really issues. In the military, they have bigger issues to worry about. They aren’t bored and sensitive.
Hate group? They’re training young men and women to kill. People seem to forget that. I wouldn’t haven’t wanted my Marines to be nice. I want the baddest and most hateful and feared Marines by my side.
Stop applying this ridiculous PC civilian standard to the military. They won't budge and there’s no place for PC culture in combat. The military isn’t meant to appease your emotions.
How the military operates is beyond your comprehension. You’ve never served. The military has no place for these progressive ideas because the military has one specific job. A job that most people don’t want to do. I don’t think an Iraqi insurgent or taliban fighter trying to kill you gives a single fuck about whether or not you are kind. I think they just want to kill you and will do it by any means possible. You will get slaughtered going into a battle zone thinking that kindness will bring you anything but your own demise. These people will kill children just to ambush you. You want to go on a convoy with anything other than a savage mindset to kill the enemy? You’d make a terrible soldier or Marine. We shouldn’t be teaching our troops what you’re suggesting because it will result in the death of many good Marines and Soldiers.
Not every branch of the military is like this, but anyone who serves in SOCOM or the infantry knows this to be true.
Women aren’t suited for combat roles. Marine Corps opened up the infantry ranks to women and they couldn’t hack it. Very few female grunts out there. Marine Corps wouldn’t lower their standards, which they shouldn’t. No problem with those who are gay. If they can perform in combat, then who cares. Anything else?
@OddBeMe
So again, different branches, different cultures.
The Air Force likes to make sure their wingmen feel valued. I'm always shocked by how shitty army will openly treat their troops. Discrimination matters. Treating your troops like shit during and after service affects morale and is the reason why suicide rates are so high.
Long story short, no "extremists". You have to watch what you say and do and remember that you represent the military and whatever branch you're in. They tell you that shit before you join so if people have a problem with that then they can chose not to serve.
I’m sure you can see a clear distinction between the Airforce and Marines at this point lol. Airforce values intelligence over brawn because their mission doesn’t typically involve combat, but rather technical skill sets. Marine Corps is the tip of the spear and is all based around the infantry. It’s a tougher culture, and the ethos is based around being able to handle combat. Combat is really ugly, and the rugged mentality that they instill in young marines is highly effective. They break you down to nothing mentally, and then they rebuild you. It’s an entire process. It’s shitty and involves a lot of growing pains. If you’re not up for it, then you’re most likely not up to the idea of going to war. It’s not about you as an individual. It’s about the mission.

I've been on the fence with this. On one side, I agree that people who are members of hate groups should not hold positions of authority, especially in the military. But on the other side, the proposition that's been put forth singularly targets far-right extremists and completely ignores the equally bad far-left extremists.
BLM, Antifa. It wasn't that long ago that BLM and antifa were rioting through cities all across the US destroying stuff and killing people, making people terrified to even leave their house, or go to work for fear of getting targeted by a random BLM mob. I agree that far-right extremists are bad, but we can't ignore what BLM did for most of last year simply because they have a nice tagline.
It doesn't matter which Extreme has the higher body count. My point is both extremes are dangerous. To go after one while completely ignoring the other only invites tragedy.
I think everyone has the right to be free to express them selves as long as they are not harming anyone. In my personal beliefs, i have a policy of harming no one. I might disagree with lots of people on things, but as long as they aren't harming anyone i believe in live and let live.
man my answer was confusing as hell.. Ok if they are a member of something that actively causes harm and death get rid. I would feel the same about gang membership, or groups like the KKK. Both are harmful both need to not be affiliated with the military.
im not sure.. thats a very good point.
maybe but i had not thought of the variables.
Probably if there a threat. If there just right wing libertarian which people consider extreme right then no but if someone is part of the alt right or neo nazis or antifa or BLM then yes kick them out
Laughable. Both sides have extremists. The fact we have sides at all is messed up. Americans va Americans. It's not a can of worms anyone wants to open
I only said no because you should root out extremist only if they act on their beliefs.
I meant act on it in the business or after being hired.
I know, but if during hours, or something big goes down like at the capitol and the person brags about it then the employer could and should fire them in my opinion.
It should be a no-brainer that extremists shouldn't be allowed in the military, unless a military coup is something you're actually rooting for.
I'm not against them having jobs though, anything to keep them off the streets says I.
Biden’s Trans plan is ridiculous nobody wants to prevent people from serving the issue is that trans individuals want to get free tax payer funded transitions while in service.
These procedures are a hindrance on the deployment of a platoon.
Military is used to win wars and the enlisted grunts are trained to kill people. You’re worried about hate?
Employers really need to stay the fuck out of people's private lives.
Yup. I think they do the same thing to people who are gang affiliated. So why not.
stand up for what you believe in
It all depends on what you say in and extremist.
