Defiant US Soldiers Openly Questioning Why BLM Riots Weren’t Treated Like Capitol ‘Insurrection’

Via ZeroHedge

Soldiers “from every echelon” of the US military have been openly questioning why last year’s violent BLM and Antifa riots weren’t treated like the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a comparison which has flown sideways up the ass of the military’s top enlisted leader, Chief Master Sergeant Ramón “CZ” Colón-López.

In a Thursday briefing at the Pentagon, Colón-López (CZ) told reporters that some troops have asked “How come you’re not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that? [Jan. 6 riot]”

This is coming from every echelon that we’re talking to,” CZ added.

According to Military.com, CZ told reporters that he is “concerned about the way that some people are looking at the current environment.”

Colón-López said the confusion some younger troops have expressed shows why the training sessions on extremism are needed.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the stand-down Feb. 5 and gave units across the military 60 days to discuss extremism in the ranks with troops.

The military’s policies are clear, he said: Troops are not to advocate for, or participate in, supremacist, extremist or criminal gang doctrine, ideology or causes. –Military.com

Others are wondering why leadership’s view is so disproportionate.

CZ claims that the military ‘remains an apolitical organization,’ and that it doesn’t matter if extremist groups are far left or right, adding “both are off limits.”

“If it’s an organization that is actually imposing harm, threat, destruction, criminal activity and so on, then we don’t condone that behavior,” he said, adding “We’re focusing on letting people know exactly what the oath tells us to do when it comes to obeying lawful orders, remaining apolitical and basically being good stewards of society.”

But as the training sessions took place, some themes emerged that worried leaders.

Those conducting the sessions wanted “to make sure that military members understand the difference between Seattle and [the Jan. 6 riot in] Washington, D.C.,” Colón-López said. “But some of our younger members are confused about this, so that’s what we need to go ahead and talk to them about and educate them on, to make sure that they know exactly what they can and cannot do.” –Military.com

According to CZ, ‘younger troops need to be educated’ on the difference between the broad (Marxist-organized) BLM and Antifa movement and extremists within said movements.

Meanwhile on Saturday… it begins again:

Nothing to see here – just a group waving a communist flag that wants to disband the country’s law enforcement and usher in a state of lawlessness. Totally different from the January 6 ‘insurrection.’

I’m a 60 plus year old civilian, guess I have to go to one of my local military bases to get educated cuz I have the same view. Why is OK to repeatedly attempt to burn down a federal court building, but a one day protest where the US Govt killed a White protestor is called a riot / coup, with the FBI investigating to the max.

Ashley was murdered by an agent who was ‘afraid’ of what was in her backpack, by a guy who had been given a medal by Trump for the Scalise affair….he’ll probably get another medal from Xiden….meanwhile, Antifa burns down whole areas and murders people, no problem

I pray to God that our fine men and women in the military and law enforcement follow their oath. I pray they all strive to do the right thing and reject the double standard that has enslaved this country. I urge each and every individual, both military and civilian to “not allow” themselves to be divided along political lines and follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights. These documents are our foundation and we should NOT allow these rouge individuals in government office trample them into the dirt.

O T – One of my biggest fears is that most of the kids today have never read, much less understand the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution. I try to read each of them every year and this past July 4th while reading the Declaration, it occurred to me that we have entered into a time where the list of grievances against the far away government are as great now as they were in 1776.

You are right on TN Patriot. I was raised during the years where they taught the 3R’s & we still had corporal punishment. I keep forgetting the new generations have trouble tying their shoe laces, making change, doing math, showing basic respect to another individual and caring on a conversation in person. In general society has gone in the crapper I am sorry to say.

No question what’s going on , regardless of ANTIFIA a drugged up black man out of control was subdued as necessary and because of the overdose he swallowed prior to police contact put him over the top and his heart stopped . Another habitual drug user caught up in a police action checks out while cuffed dies . Black and white people OD daily in this country but this was a BLACK MAN held by the police !
Consequently every liberal leftist politician has to kiss every BLM protestor directly on their collective assholes and the officer following department procedure now must be crucified because he was in contact with George Floyd when his weakens heart from years of abuse blew out during an overdose episode . After all don’t want BLM to get mad again .
So the leftist ass kissing shit lickers take the Jan 6 issue blow it up to make it look worse than what BLM & ANTIFA did all last summer looting , rioting and burning across America . At least this time they can all act like the have a spine including MSM because Jan 6 was majority white so they can be crushed with impunity !
Welcome to Biden’s shit hole that was the American Republic !

Quivering sphincters is no laughing matter to our brave lawmakers. No sir! Why so serious? Well, remember the fifth of November, Guy Fawkes Night? How about the 14th of July, Bastille Day? Hence Fort Pelosi.

The undead, the people who are not going to take it anymore, have begun in their minds to formulate appropriate responses to whippings implemented to improve morale.

However, downtown Seattle, for example, is boarded up and yet the state’s governor, the city mayor, the city council all keep on keeping on with their lunatic policies that bankrupted small and larger businesses even as the gov’t employed lizards got full pay and time to warm up their cold-blooded selves by vacationing in sunnier lands.

Teacher’s unions have found a new passion. The old one of protecting teachers from the predations of administrators and taxpayer demands for competency has evolved into a gleeful abandonment of teaching kids all about our ruinous country for an embrace of not working at all for pay and bennies galore!

However, even in the reptilian minds of lawmakers and other gov’t unskilled laborers, issues of thirst, hunger, territoriality, and sex can be put aside temporarily to perceive a danger to their swampy ecosystem that could dampen plans for enjoying thirty or so years of uninterrupted pleasantries, chief of which is the comparison of themselves against the fate of the plebs who work for them now and forever. Yes, violence is in the air, sort of a napalm morning fragrance. From where, though? Could the plebs be planning something? The pigs are not in charge anymore? What will become of us they ponder and worry? Das Ende ist nah? Or might it be “Remember the Riot? Fuck you, pay me.”

The low level troops have nothing to lose, so speak their minds loudly. The mid-level NCO’s and Officers have to worry about their EER’s and OER’s for the promotion boards, so they bite their lip and do a slow burn as they get lectured for letting the troops bitch out loud. The high level NCOs and Officers just want to make it to retirement so they can take the muzzle off.

He put windows on the sausage factory before they got him. He made it so we could see what was going on. He can’t do more than offer encouragement. I am sure he wishes he could. If he could we wouldn’t be here in this mess. It’s up to all of us to do what we can and if the opportunity arises, to make them pay.

I attended many such sessions in the corporate world. 1.They are designed to inform those without principle of the corporate direction. 2. They are used to identify those who are unreliable and subject to removal. Soldiers keep your mouths shut and go along until the right time. Be gray and a lone wolf.

Your “double-talk bullshit” comment sums it up nicely. I think I have it figured out.
The troops want to know why there was no call up for BLM/Antifa riots. They want to know why no call up when DC was burned and the White House threatened. They want to know what was so special about 1-6 with no fires, no looting, no guns, no murders except one Trump supporter by an AGW.
I think this is what the traitor SecDef is saying: BLM/Antifa are virtuous ideas or ideals. They have been tarred by the (I am being sarcastic here) isolated actions of a few bad actors who in no way are representative of BLM/Antifa during the peaceful protesting. We cannot let the action of a few rogue actors who were probably white supremacist infiltrators harm the cause of BLM/Antifa. Not recognizing the virtue of BLM/Antifa and recognizing all the rioting was by rogues or white supremacists shows that people opposing them are wittingly or unwittingly white supremacist racists.
The people who raucously demonstrated and entered the Capitol? Those rogue bad actors on the other hand ARE representative of the systemic racism and white supremacy of all who questioned the fraudulent election. SHORT ANSWER-The SecDef and CJCS are fucking communists and egregious liars.

As in Bernard Fall’s master work “Street Without Joy” we have the troops being agitpropped by the Cadres, exhorting them to be “The New Socialist Man.” The price of admission is the same as it was in French Indochina-stop thinking for yourself and believe everything the Party through the Cadres tells you without question.
I cannot imagine anything more un-American than what this regime is attempting with the military in broad daylight. These are Maoist or Viet Minh “struggle sessions.” This race baiting SecDef is priming the troops to be turned on Middle America. What have they planned for the undoubtedly large number who will refuse the indoctrination? The Viet Minh called for “the concretization of non-existence” for any who rejected the gift of becoming the New Socialist Man. We must stand ready to support and defend these people who reject the BS.

This all started with Clinton’s military social experiments in the mid nineties. Within four years from 96 to 00 the change I came back into after college was absolutely astonishing in how pussified the troops had become. Bush rolls in and policies changed overnight except for that douche canoe Shinseki and his brown nose brigade still running with Clinton-esque bullshit like berets for the regular army and the god-awful ACU shit show. There were some great pockets of stellar soldiering like Camp Greaves and Bonifas and certain MOS within Artillery and the 11 series, but the army was lost (mental toughness) right around 98.

I worked alongside Brits, French, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Syrian, Jordanian, South African and Legionnaires, and they all laughed at our regular army as being almost as big a joke as their regular armies.

Fast forward 20 years and we will never win a regular war ever again with the level of assed up, brain donor fucken gender-bender bullshit we are seeing now. We had enough issues with mental illness within the two genders. Now throw in gender dysphoria, hormone addled mood swings, dick lopping/ cooter punching surgeries and breast additions/ removal recovery time and you will have “troops” out of action for months if not longer during recovery. All of which would be lost time in the old army.

I feel like I am living the scene in “13th Warrior” where they are sending off their chieftain and his slave on the burning boat: this is the old way. You will not see this again.

War has a funny way of weeding out the weak and incompetent. It used to be that you train as you fight, so I guess we are fighting against ourselves with this utterly absurd social justice escapade. Every last one of them is combat degraded and will be a gigantic liability on a battlefield.

I say this with no joy: wait till the casualties start rolling in and/or the first videos of rape trains and beheadings, stonings and being tossed off roofs get uploaded of the captured in the next mid-east shit hole these morons pick as a banker funding expedition.

The brass will be begging for we, the anachronous, to come back in lmao. To which I will say: nuts. NUTS MAKE A FUCKEN MAN and you cannot make a woman into a man nor vice versa. This is your chicken fuck and I aint holding the fucken wings you cunts. Good luck getting the grifters wanting free gender mutilation surgery to deploy without hesitation.

The brass should be utterly ashamed of letting the real troops get steam rolled by the PC collective and the social justice idiots that have no concept of the human mindset in battle.

ZFG, out.

P.S. It is all fun and games till the rounds start dropping on your head and you realize that the military is actually supposed to kill and get killed. Oh, and get used to real NCOs calling you all shit head or fucker and not by your retarded ass pronoun of choice you stupid fucken oxygen thieves.

“War has a funny way of weeding out the weak and incompetent.”

Fuckin A, but only for the men downrange. War also has a way of adding to the numbers and influence of the remf chickenshits in the officer corps. An old bluedog dem Marine who did three tours in nam and served as Reagan’s Sec’ Navy wrote a novel about that war. He described the officers who hid out in their bunkers during firefights and later put each other up for medals. Colin-Powell was one of those.

https://booksvooks.com/fields-of-fire-pdf-james-webb.html

Promotions for remfs get way out of hand during foreign wars. Those kinds go from boot brownbar to major in no time, then eventually politic their way to general like Shinseki and Colin-Powell did. Like the kids say, “Shit is fucked up and bullshit”.
