During military training sessions to address extremism in the ranks, some service members have challenged why the Pentagon is not treating the violence during racial injustice protests last summer as equal to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
That the two events are viewed as equivalent by some troops has caught the Pentagon’s attention in its effort to educate service members that extremist views and activity — on either side of the political spectrum — go against the oath they took when they joined the military, the top enlisted leader told reporters on Thursday.
“This is coming from every echelon that we’re talking to,” said Ramón Colón-López, the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “Some people may think that, ‘all right, so the events of 6 January happened. How come you’re not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that?’”

WNU Editor: This is a good point ....
.... some service members have challenged why the Pentagon is not treating the violence during racial injustice protests last summer as equal to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The Pentagon's answer is that they are not the same. Black Lives protesters were peaceful, but "other people" caused the looting and violence ....
.... “We cannot confuse a First Amendment grievance because of social injustice organization and some of the criminals that latched on to go ahead and loot, destroy and commit other crimes. There’s two clear, distinct groups right there,” Colón-López said, referring to the difference between peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters and looters who disrupted some of those events.
The looting has been used by some television commentators to convince viewers that the protests were equivalent to the Capitol attacks and that message has left a mark on some of the younger forces, Colón-López said.
LOL!!!
There is some stuff that you just cannot make up.
Update: Oh oh. It looks like they are laying the groundwork for a crackdown .... SEAC: DOD Will 'Move Fast' Against Extremism After Completion of Stand Downs (US Department of Defense).

Add that DoD doesn’t believe ANTIFA exists. The us military has become a political branch of government. If you read lol the DoD “training” the only movement mentioned is ‘white supremacy’.
Remember most all the senior personnel, uniformed and civilian, were elevated to the senior GO/Flag and SES level under Obama. For those not familiar with DoD if you think there wasn’t an unwritten political test you’re fooling yourself.
Colón-López is a gutless wonder.
ANTIFA did most of their dirty work at night, but many a motorist were caught in crowds and the crowds scaring the bejesus out of them, and vandalizing their care were not all ANTIFA.
The Kenosha riots had a lot of BLM in it. You cannot blame that all on ANTIFA.
Jacob Blake's father gave a Muslim war call live on camera. Nothing is said about it, because people like Colón-López would rather suck a dick than call it out.

America is a joke under Democrats!
The GWP Headline is wrong. Joe did pull himself up. Also, the 3rd fall looked staged?
Senior Enlisted Advisors are just shills for whatever Command wants to get out to the force. They are all politicians first, which is how they got to the positions they are in.
Anyone who considers the two things as equal is trying to excuse an overturning of election attempt
Read this elsewhere:
"Troops plainly see through the bullshit. The government wrongly believes that they can propagandize the military and get themselves out from behind the 8 ball.
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and the right to petition government for grievances are all equal or they are not all equal. Right now our government is saying that if you feel like racial inequalities have affected your life you can loot, riot, and raze city centers and that's just protesting, but if you feel like the government has allowed your vote to be made void through illegal and subversive means you are wrong and may not use the 1st Amendment in the way that those who feel affected by racism are allowed to.
Many of us can smell what's cooking and it smells like death, destruction, mayhem, and the end of the country. This Nation was never intended to be tyrannical and does not have the history that will allow a transition to tyranny without a fight. The sad thing is that it looks like the fight will basically break down along the same lines as last time. We need to come to an understanding that there's a ton of evidence that the two groups are not compatible and deal with it before what's cooking boils over."
thanks Russ for speaking for "the troops." You are not serving and have not for some years. You don't know jack shit about what the troops say or think.
fact: how many intafa going on trial? How many in the Jan insurrection? How to explain that? oh. right. Burr quit earlier on
On the night before the riot at the Capitol, prosecutors say, a group chat among the Proud Boys was abuzz with orders from a leader: Be decentralized. Use good judgment. Avoid the police. And then, in a nod to the group’s hard-drinking habits, “Don’t get drunk until off the street.”
The account of these communications on an unidentified encrypted app was contained in an indictment unsealed on Friday that accused four leaders of the far-right nationalist group of conspiring to resist law enforcement officers at the Capitol and storm the building on Jan. 6 in a plot to disrupt the final certification of the presidential election. The indictment, filed in federal court in Washington, provides perhaps the most thorough look to date at how the Proud Boys planned and participated in the assault.
Two of the defendants — Joseph Biggs, of Ormond Beach, Fla., and Ethan Nordean, of Auburn, Wash. — were already facing charges in connection with the riot, accused of having led a mob of about 100 Proud Boys and supporters into a restricted area at the Capitol. The two other men named in the indictment — Zach Rehl, the president of the Proud Boys’ Philadelphia chapter, and Charles Donohoe, a chapter leader from North Carolina — were arrested on Wednesday, weeks after photos of them in the mob had circulated online and in the media.
The Proud Boys, who have emerged in recent years as some of former President Donald J. Trump’s most vocal and violent supporters, have long described themselves as “Western chauvinists” and have a history of bloody street fights with left-wing antifascist activists since shortly after their founding in 2016. But the group achieved new prominence in September after Mr. Trump told its members during a presidential debate to “stand back and stand by.”
Lawyers for Mr. Biggs, Mr. Nordean and Mr. Donohoe declined to comment on the charges. It was not immediately clear who was representing Mr. Rehl.
Every last ANTIFA were let go by the Country DA and Joe Biden.
There are federal officers blinded with lasers in Portland that will get no justice for serving the the US government.
Just go off and molest the family dog like your hero.
Liar
I must comment while in Corps during 70s after returning stateside eventually our battalion went to Coronado a few weeks for various reasons. One of which was riot control. At first it seemed weird to train with fixed bayonets against riots in US but we was told when they call in the Marines it means the government has lost control. An so we trained on tactics, one of which our responsibility was to form wedge with fix bayonets and capture the "quarterback", the person in crowd barking orders, directions and keeping momentum... Capture at all cost was the mission. And it sounded and felt right to maintain order. Now just what the hell went with that strategy? We see sections of cities burned, murder during riots, court houses and police stations attacked for months on end. That all should've never been allowed to happen. If we watched same in another country the news would be that the government is being attacked by rebels and armed insurgents..
That is all.
