Here's my question...though, truthfully I already know the answer, will the same chain of command overlook it when one of the troops puts something in their social media feed likening the current POTUS as an Alzheimer case...or the VEEP as a whore. I could go on...but you get the point. As Box already mentioned...some are more equal than others.

I recall a day in SERE school when they tried to make us do the “2 minutes of hate session”.
Apparently that is taught at the GO staff level now, but instead of learning to resist it, you’re encouraged to embrace it!
Who are we at war with? Eurasia or Eastasia? I forget.

Its all about how you market things...
It's not called "2 Minutes of Hate" - those are bad words in today's political landscape. It's much better to encourage "critical thinking" in your subordinates.
Being indoctrinated to "critical thinking" is how you learn that the swim test is racist. Once you are indoctrinated to "critical thinking" you learn that we are not "lowering standards" what we are REALLY doing is 'removing obstacles' that prevent students from progressing. Once you are indoctrinated to "critical thinking" you realize that the brass isn't involved in sociopolitical activism - they are "leading change"
Being indoctrinated into the beauty of critical thinking is how senior leaders are able to learn catch phrases like "speaking truth to power" in the war college and still keep a staight face when they tell their troops, " well the boss likes it, which means I like it"
Being indoctrinated by the false flag of "critical thinking" is how you come to confuse the idea of submitting to peer pressure with the much more laudable characteristic of being an "early adopter"
Unfortunately, that is the same 'Innovation Model' that most ass kissers use to label people that prefer the facts normally associated with research and analysis as " Laggards"
Diversity and Inclusion are in no way associated with creating a diverse body of work and are in no way designed to include everyone in the decisions making process.
They are just two fancy words used by activists to normalize and encourage their own favorite flavor of "2 Minutes of Hate"
...but make no mistake - a guy that uses a photo shopped image to undermine the president is neither diverse nor inclusive. He is just another bureaucratic snake that has been given the keys to the castle.
I have spoken.

Eastasia then? I want to be an early adopter! I’m trying, but I still only see 4 lights! I’m incorrigible, sorry.

Au contraire mon frère - my last post wasn't even original thought.
You should probably sit down because I am about to pour a bottle of nightmare fuel into your tank...
-critical thinking
-leading change
-removing obstacles
-speaking truth to power
-well the boss likes it, which means I like it
-early adopter
EVERY.SINGLE.PHRASE.IS.STOLEN
-encouraging critical thinking in subordinates came from a BG that also referred to his leg 2LT secretary as a special operator because EVERYONE in the unit is a special operator
-leading change came from a senior DAC that lives in the ear of the command team
-'removing obstacles' is a newish term that should sound familiar to our SWC brothers lurking the boards
-speaking truth to power is a power phrase from War College graduates and I cant count how many times I heard that crap when President Trump was in office
-'the boss likes it therefore I like it' was from a senior leader while talking to ODA/ODB leadership
-early adopter was recently uttered by a senior leader
All but the DAC is an SF guy.
If it was just sarcasm, it would be funny. It isn't just sarcasm - those are comments and phrases quoted from senior leaders.
If I REALLY had the power of innovative original thinking needed to come up with this kind of shit on my own - I'd have the wealth and power to go with it and I wouldn't have to hang around on a bulletin board - I'd be on a yacht, on hanging out at the beach on my own private continent.
...not a private island - a private continent

To paraphrase Indigo Montoya: “You keep using that phrase. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”
Those whose said “critical thinking” actually meant “critical theory”, which is the opposite of critical thinking. Had they actually been employing and promoting critical thinking, most of the crap we’re currently dealing with would have been mocked with derisive laughter and tossed out of the building.

And this is the word from the top....
"Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley Fiercely Defends Teaching Critical Race Theory"
https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch-...l-race-theory/
"....“I’ve read Mao Tse Tung,” Milley said. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist. So what is wrong with … having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend? I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers … of being, quote, ‘Woke,’ because we’re studying some theories that are out there.”..."
Better dig that foxhole a couple more feet. Lot more incoming headed for the troops.

Notice he doesn't condemn the "theories that are out there...." Merely identifies (hence, signals) that he's in-tune with what's being put down. I used to laugh when my predecessors told me that they were glad they retired when they did....now I get it.

Critical Race Theory essentially holds that U.S. society is inherently or systemically racist.
Mao, Marx, Lenin and yes Critical Race Theory could be said to “speak” to those who wish to “fundamentally transform” American society.
Could CRT be used to divide and conquer a society?
Could race, rather than economics, be a catalyst for the next great Marxist-Leninist revolution? Could race be used to foment the classic Marxist-Leninist “class struggle?”
Purely rhetorical - I wonder if the General suggests that they teach CRT in that context ?

Mao Zedong's attempt at central planning and control called "The Great Leap Forward" caused twenty to forty million people in north-central China to died starvation.
Mao used age to divide china. The young & stupid against the old & educated, so race is not a stretch. The Democrats are already working the young & stupid angle

~William Ayers
Circa 1970
Mao’s “young and stupid” revolutionaries apparently had some influence on 1960s radical Billy Ayers...hey, wasn’t Billy “just a guy in the neighborhood” ...who happened to influence just a guy from Chicago...?
