Why dont you make the attempt at being honest and admit that this only matters to you because it tarnishes the military. You are right about 1 thing. I dont give a damn what the left says is a problem with white supremists. We spewith every breath they take. Its hard to take it seriously.
Have you ever served. Do you know what the process is to be promoted in the Navy for example? Hey if you cant pass a test you cant pass a test. Maybe you should take the time to learn the job. Thats how the enlisted get promoted. I knew a few career E-6's. They took the test every 6 months and every 6 months got passed over because their scores weren't competitive. Not just blacks but whites as well.
Again, you are sticking your head in the sand. Plenty of information out there about racism in the military. I have no problem with the military, and your perceptions of me are irrelevant.
Ha!!!!! Like the Left will be willing to enlist in the Army or Marines as infantry, paratroopers, sappers tankers and so on to replace these highly trained individuals once they finish this Leftist purge.
I did 13 years on Active Duty and another 13 years in the Reserves with the Army. I can tell you that if you kick out all the people who don't think like you or support the current views coming out of D.C., the country is seriously phoocked since we need Soldiers and Marines to be Battle Ready AND Battle Harden... Heck, the Far Left are still demanding the Army National Guard "garrison" D.C. to protect them from some imaginary enemy... Yes, there was a single issue back in January 6th, but the country has been on fire... Literally on fire from the actions of the Left, who actually supported rioting, looting, killing and burning down our cities since May 2020 as some EXTREME view of Social Justice.
Trust me, training to KILL people, in hand to hand combat, with assorted weapons to include rocks, you have to be a little extreme to accept that this is something that needs to be done from time to time AND more important, be willing to do it.
Btw, I'm a person of Color and I can tell you, as a fact, that there are people with extreme views in the military, but they come in all types of Colors, not just White.

So good luck to you.
Military is the first major institution/organization to tear down the barrier of segregation.
Is racism exists in the military? Yes
But if you are comparing US military to any US organization in similar size, racism in the military is minuscule in comparison.
This is coming from a POC with 15 years in the military.
What does "stand down" actually mean, and what will that accomplish? Any ideas?
And so now what? Will all persons applying for the military now be required to undergo a thorough examination of their political beliefs and stances on some social issues? For example, will they be asked if they support BLM, and if they answer No, will they automatically be disqualified.
NO, the article does NOT say anything of the sort (meaning what I wrote in the paragraph directly above this), so I am definitely projecting . . . but in the current state of politics in the U.S., I would not be surprised if this became the policy!
It will be like every other stand down.
Everyone will have to break from the routine, go and sit in some classroom, auditorium, something that holds people, and watch a powerpoint presentation over the topic.

Then they can all check the box that they did it.
Mission accomplished.
aka PowerPoint slides of death
But no worries. Biden will start a war somewhere and none of this will matter.

When the revolution comes, most of the military will be on the side of the Citizen Soldiers fighting for their Rights, Freedom and Liberty and against the current Democrat Fascism.

I truly hope that the country isn’t pushed into a civil war, but your statement is very true that “most,” not all, but most of the military would side against the Far Left and the Socialist/Fascists/Communist that want to destroy this great country.
Btw, “most” basically MOST of the Army’s and Marine ground combat units... The guys with the heavy weapons like Tanks, Artillery and Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Basically, everything you would need to win a quick and decisive land battle. To be honest, I seriously doubt that any Combat Unit would side with the Left, but they might get a few clerks and cooks.
Plus, most of the law enforcement in this country would also side with the American people that support our Constitution and truly love our country, knowing that we have done far more good than bad in our short history.
...To be honest, this is what the Far Left is afraid of.
