Doing Their Best To Gut The U.S. Military

From a reader, Army.mil.

Chaplain Shabazz: The issues involving religious accommodation during the month of Ramadan typically occur in three areas: training exercises in the field; physical training; and proper hydration. Commanders can help Muslims Soldiers fulfill their religious requirements during Ramadan by accommodating them in a couple of ways.

First, when possible, commanders can allow Muslim Soldiers to participate in light duty when on an exercise or in the field, as opposed to strenuous duty.

Second, they can grant liberal leave during part or all of the 30-day fasting period, and grant practicing Muslim Soldiers three days of leave for Eid-Al-Fitr, the celebration that ends the 30-day fast of Ramadan.

Third, commanders can exempt Muslim Soldiers from physical training or grant them limited time outdoors during the fasting period. It’s important to keep in mind that Soldiers will spend approximately 16 hours with no food or water during daylight hours, so ensuring proper hydration is a serious concern.

Finally, commanders can allow observing Muslim Soldiers time to observe the five daily prayers at a Mosque or at a designated prayer location during this time.

The Pentagon took steps on Wednesday to give individual troops greater latitude to wear turbans, head scarfs, yarmulkes and other religious clothing with their uniforms, but advocacy groups said the new policy fell short of what they were seeking.

Question: If you tried really hard to come up with ideas that would break unit cohesion, tear asunder the readiness and morale of the U.S. military, and create a circus freak show atmosphere, what would you do any differently than what they’re doing (and have been doing with gender bending)?

    Swarms of devils out of the bottomless pit. Too bad Americans don’t know what the book of Revelation was (yes, was) and is about. Judgement is ridiculously inexplicable on it’s face, confounding, mind boggling, bizarre, there may not be an adequate word to describe it and the subsequent actions and behaviors of men. One thing is for sure, you, dear American, deserve it.

    @John, Trump, cannot save you.

    Department of Subversion. It used to be, when the army was defending out shores “from” foreign aggression, it was the Department of War

    Brace yourself, Sharia law is already here.

    The military is being purged of patriots in favor of foreign mercs.

    While president the big “O” purged the services of over 400 patriotic right leaning officers. Now paleface service men are being given dishonorable discharges for having an opinion or flashing the wrong “sign” with their hand. It is being done on purpose and there is nothing to stop it short of a revolution.

    Why do you think the President of Turkey is so arrogant. How can you be afraid of a 500lb gorilla that has been castrated. All Russia and China have to do is be patient and sooner or later the Pentagon will be majority polysexual and muslim. Good luck with that third world war.

    For the time being the reserves and national guard have avoided the “reorganization” and “downsizing”. Palefaces coming out ot high school are not eager to fight for mussies in Iraq while they are running the military back home and throwing you friends in jail just because they are white and have the “wrong” opinion. And being Christian is one of those wrong opinions because it condemns the sordid list of perversions on the left who run the military.

    I have a suggestion. Bring up a search engine [not google] and type in South Africa. A crystal ball into the future.

    There will be a reckoning.

    It’s not an “American” army. It’s an imperial mercenary army that serves the imperial elites. Its job is not warfighting but imperial policing… and that imperial policing includes treating unruly proletarians anywhere in the world, including right here, the same as they would in goatfuck-land.

    Actually, WORSE — my kid was deployed several times and has told me that under the ROEs they’d get court-martialed for the shit cops do here, like shooting unarmed people and arresting six-year-olds:

    Immigration, at least at the scale America allows it, is war. Diversity plus proximity equals war. It could not be more obvious.

    It makes one think about a possible civil war II and the role of the military in that potential conflict. Many assume the military would take the side of the liberty lovers. I am not so sure. 20 years ago that may have been the case but now?

    The government of Hungary is paying married couples to have children.

    Poland told the new wave of “migrants” coming out of Turkey they would be shot if they tried to cross the Polish border.

    If I were fresh out of high school I would think of enrolling in a trade school and learning Russian…or Hungarian, Czech, Slovakian, Polish…anyplace Christians are welcome and the Orcs are banned.

    Russia and Eastern Europe have seen the future [the USSRA, EU] and they don’t like it. The forever wars, the pedogarchy, the intersectionality are all hated by the rest of the world and they are tired of the constant bullying–economic and military–by the USSRA.

    The day after the election Trump threw the right under the bus. He severed all contact with his right wing core supporters. NY Democrat.

    He added insult to injury by announcing that Bill and Hitlery had suffered enough and he would not carry through with his campaign promises of “locking her up.” NY Democrat.

    A few days later at a rally his “supporters” were shouting the mantra he constantly encouraged from his followers during his primary and presidential campaign, “lock her up”. He told them to back off. He didn’t want to hear that phrase anymore. NY Democrat

    He has consistantly fired hard core patriots and hired deep state operatives. Flynn and others will be up to their necks in debt because…NY Democrat.

    When was the last time you heard El Presidente utter, “Ismalmic terrorism”. NY Democrat.

    @George1,
    Completely agree. The Left needs an army to conquer the US. They are building 3 distinct armies as the right measures curtains for their re-education camp windows. The 3 armies are; Police, Antifa, and dot mil. Each one is on its own pace and trajectory but make no mistake, each one will be used against you.

    As Napoleon is alleged to have said, “when your enemy is making a mistake, do NOT interrupt him”.

    The Yankee Empire’s weakening of their military is a good, productive thing. That entity has been an overgrown, bloated giant for over six (6) decades.

    In actual fact, the US military hasn’t defended what we used to call America since 1783; on the other hand, it has prosecuted policies that have killed over one million Americans since that year.

    The Active Force is a hollow shell. 30 years ago I spoke with a Special Forces guy who said (even then) that all the real warfighting ability was in the National Guard and Reserves. This will shock many (but not all). The crux of his opinion was the Active Force had been taken over by self-interested shiesters, and activists who would step on any real warfighter. I have seen this with my own eyes. The NG, being a State entity until activated for federal service, escapes much (not all) of the activism, and serves as a home for those who mean to be defenders, not kindergarten teachers.
    A microcosm of this is the experience of the Task Force Commander (Active) to who my NG unit was assigned. He told us later that he’d spent a month wondering what he was going to do with this NG unit, then he realized “WTF, I’ve got a company full of SGTs!” and never worried about us again.

    I don’t know @Pat Hines, any pantywaist can be taught to carry a rifle and man a prison compound. I agree that the pointy end of the spear will have to be po po, but remember, the average ‘murcan loves them dot mil and will follow any sodomite’s orders to the letter if they are in uniform. And besides, it’s not about effectiveness. The left doesn’t care if normal Americans slaughter half of the perverts and weirdos they send as long as we eventually lose. Which is why fighting the coming war with people they send is the wrong approach, those who will do the sending have names and addresses.

    Fred said: “it’s not about effectiveness.”

    Napoleon invaded Russia with an army that was 60% foreign. That didn’t go well at all.

    Hitler’s cadres were infused with every European nationality, which was not a winning formula and just prolonged the war. The Soviets won Stalingrad by saying, “Boo!” and the Italians and Balkan troops ran like rabbits and the Russians closed the door on the Germans.

    Hannibal kept the Romans on their heels for 15yrs with mercs. It all depends on the caliber of leadership and training.

    Wolves win wars, not rabbits.

    @penses

    Sir, I don’t where you received your information from with regard to the Battle of Stalingrad, but I think you’re light on the facts.

    German casualties were from 300,000 to 400,000.
    Soviet casualties were 478,000 killed, 650,000 wounded or sick.

    The materiel losses were far greater on the Soviet side as well.

    I captured some info on the Battle of Stalingrad. As an aside, the Battle of Manila was the second largest urban combat battle of WW2, Stalingrad was the largest.

    On Nov 19, 1942, four Soviet army groups launched a double envelopment against the GERMAN 6th Army in Stalingrad. Zhukov timed it perfectly. with a hard frost enabling his armor and cavalry to encircle the doomed German troops in the city.

    In the south there was one German motorized division “holding” a 240 mile gap that gave way after fighting a forelorn retreat. In the north were the unreliable ITALIAN and ROMANIA allied forces who “ran like rabbits” within a matter of hours, sealing the fate of the encircle Sixth Army.

    If you include the entire campaign Axis forces suffered 850,000 total casualties (wounded, killed, captured) among the German armed forces and its allies; 400,000 Germans, 200,000 Romanians, 130,000 Italians and 120,000 Hungarians were killed, wounded or captured. Of the 65,000 prisoners taken after the surrender less than 2,000 returned to Germany after the war. The fact that the Germans were able to fight on for another 2 1/2 yrs is testimony to the fighting ability of the individual German soldier against overwhelming odds.

    The USSR, according to archival figures, suffered 1,129,619 total casualties; 478,741 personnel killed or missing, and 650,878 wounded or sick. An astounding number if true. Most of the Soviet losses were before the encirclement, dying in the meat grinder defending the city house to house, using the immense reserve of Russian manpower as a human battering ram, holding on the City. Only God knows how many died.

    The victory was entirely due to “the great quantities of equipment supplied by her Anglo-Saxon allies.”

    Today, if the USSRA needs help who will be there. The Russians have extended an unofficial helping hand to any elements with the intent of overthrowing the Deep State. The Chinese will sit back and pick up the pieces.

    This country is a “forelorn hope” of immense proportions.

    The deep state subsidized ISIS to the tune of 716 million in equipment and weapons during 2017 and 2018 in Syria. Trump ended the program but the deep state continues to ignore the “Commander In Chief” and carries on, business as usual, providing the mussies with weapons that could end up HERE.

    Of course the spin is this money was “spent” fighting ISIS. Operation Inherent Resolve “did not maintain comprehensive lists of all equipment purchased and received” to help allies in Syria. Weapons were “stored” outside to make them more accessable to the terrorist allies of the Empire. “Without accurate accountability records, such as inventory records and hand receipts, SOJTF-OIR personnel could order equipment that SOJTF-OIR already has in stock, risking unnecessary spending of CTEF-S funds and further overcrowding the BPC Kuwait warehouse resulting in equipment being stored outside.”

    Obama’s Pentagon provided ISIS with hundreds of Toyota trucks to make gas runs from the refinerys, selling the petrol to finance their war. O refused to attack the conveys in fear of “collateral damage.” ISIS forces also obtained military weapons from the U.S. government through a clandestine CIA program set up by Obama.

    “Without accurate accountability records, such as inventory records and hand receipts, SOJTF-OIR personnel could order equipment that SOJTF-OIR already has in stock, risking unnecessary spending of CTEF-S funds and further overcrowding the BPC Kuwait warehouse resulting in equipment being stored outside.” In effect, admitting to aiding and abetting terrorism, which is what the game was about all along.

    This is one reason you never here Islamic Terrorism. They are part of the deep state.

    Manufactured fear-mongering. You are being notified by the deep state that the hunt is on. The TV series “The Hunt” is just a prelude.

    “As commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, I fought America’s enemies abroad. Now we must fight violent, hateful ideologies at home.

    “I combatted the threat of foreign terrorism for much of my career, fighting organizations that are grounded in virulent, hateful ideologies, and in many cases operate in a network of independent, loosely connected cells. Violent white-supremacist organizations operate in a similar fashion. Our failure to address these domestic groups and their networks, or to take them as seriously as their foreign counterparts, is costing us lives, diminishing our shared and cherished values, and compromising our credibility and unity as a people. This is happening now, not in some bygone era, and we have to act immediately if we’re to safeguard our republic.

    “Last month, I testified before the House Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism about one element of the threat that white-supremacists pose: the risks of anti-Semitic violence and the ongoing threats facing our faith-based communities. Yet as we celebrate Black History Month and reflect on all that it represents, we should recognize the deep roots of racism and prejudice in America.

    “Slavery is America’s original sin, and this “genetic birth defect,” as Representative Hakeem Jeffries recently called it, did not resolve itself with the end of the Civil War, nor with the heroic efforts of the civil-rights movement. The resurgence of white-nationalist ideologies and organizations is rooted in this legacy.

    “For much of the past 50 years, white-supremacist groups were largely relegated to the fringes of American society, where they continued to survive, if not thrive, as a shameful artifact of history. Yet today they are finding a geopolitical landscape that has grown permissive, or even supportive, of their rhetoric and activities—and we need to do more to combat them. The recent decision of the FBI to elevate racially motivated violent extremism to a “national threat priority” is a strong start. These malign actors are terrorists, and that’s what we should call them. What’s more, we need a comprehensive domestic-terrorism law, one that would help bring the full weight of our laws and resources against the unaddressed and violent manifestations of racism that still persist in American culture today.

    “Too many of today’s white-supremacist groups have taken unchecked strides to rebrand themselves as part of the contemporary political mainstream, emphasizing “heritage” or pseudoscience to mask their true, violent intentions. Identifying and prosecuting such organizations for the terrorist groups that they are—just as the international community rightly fought against the Islamic State’s attempts to brand itself as the true voice of Islam—denies these groups the credibility and narrative that they so desperately seek.

    “When I was commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, a particular tool greatly improved our ability to fight terrorist organizations and minimize their influence: the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designation. This mechanism, which is managed by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism, allows for the sanctioning of foreign organizations—including travel restrictions, the freezing of assets, and legal ramifications—for any group that does business with the entity in question. Without this designation, organizations such as the Haqqani network would still to this day be operating freely in support of the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

    “Creating a similar “Domestic Terrorist Organization” designation, or at minimum, including foreign white-supremacist groups on the FTO list, would help us more effectively counter such groups.

    “This course of action raises some difficult First Amendment questions. Yet without this designation, violent actors can exploit loopholes in the existing panoply of laws aimed at restricting their ability to do harm. Indeed, a radical white nationalist who’s a U.S. citizen and who attacks individuals with a knife, or runs a vehicle through a crowd, is in most cases not eligible for prosecution as a terrorist under current U.S. law. However, were this individual associated with an organization on the FTO list—linked to some form of traditional foreign terror group—then the full measure of the law could be used to bring this individual, and the organizations with which he is affiliated, to justice. It is time we introduce consistency in our legal parameters regarding terrorism.

    “The horrendous lynchings, terror campaigns that destroyed entire communities, and many unresolved murders that dominated the period of Reconstruction and the years that followed should be recognized as acts of domestic terrorism. Americans are again losing their lives to this threat, and that reality should define how we respond to it.

    “Contemporary white-supremacist groups pose a dire security threat, one that rivals, and perhaps even eclipses, that of foreign terrorist organizations. In my testimony, I called upon the U.S. Congress to be seized with this issue. The American people must do the same. Just as I fought America’s enemies abroad, so too must we fight violent, hateful ideologies at home.”

    Bonifides: John R. Allen is the president of the Brookings Institution. He is a retired U.S. Marine Corps four-star general and former commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force.

    They never get tired of the Nazi BS. They are getting ready to cash in on 60yrs of fear mongering and lies. After reading this I got the impression that all Mr. Allen reads are comic books.

    Being deep state doesn’t he know that most of the KKK, Nazis and other “white supremacists” are for the most part feds. Agents provocateur inciting the fake violence he rants against. But of course he knows, he is one of the deep states finest. The Brookings gig proves it.

    His job in Afghanistan was to insure maximum opiate addiction in pale America and cheap access to Lithium for his masters, while he was war-gaming in preparation to suppressing dissent in Appalachia and the Rockies. The paleface enclaves and redoubts are being strategically surrounded by the deep state minions [ANTIFA, MS13, BLM, mussies, La Raza] while bullhorns like Allen let the diverstity mob know who the enemy really is.

    Secession will be tried but will not come peacefully. They won’t allow it. It will be 1860 all over again, only this time it will be nationwide, border to border. They don’t want any Anglo-Saxons around the be kindling for another 1775 event. Kill the virus, save the empire.

    “Every single brass service officer and most special operations soldiers who practiced their trade in the Middle East in urban or rural settings, were just honing the skills they will be called upon by their money masters to use against pale Americans when Washington has decided that the guns all need to be collected prior to the ghost genocide.”

    There will be a reckoning.
