Evan Vucci/APDefense Secretary Lloyd Austin did not say under questioning from a Republican lawmaker this week whether rooting out “extremism” in the military is still a top priority for him, after the Pentagon found fewer than 100 instances of extremism over the past year.
He asked Austin: “So with that data now being data driven, is that still a top priority for you, or can we move on?”You made a couple of points here, and let me say that my top priority is defending this country. It has been and it will always be. On the issue of the percentages of people that have — are participating in extremist activities, you’ve heard me say that 99.9 % of our people are doing the right thing every day, and I’m proud of them for what they do.
One of the first things Austin did as defense secretary was to order a force-wide “stand-down” for commanders to address “extremism” with their troops.
Maybe not WHITE extremism anymore. It seems thanks to arrogance and Putin, nature is taking its course. 😬
