This is eye wash to make good on some military people being at DC on the 6th. Those that were, know the rules. If they violated them, they need to face the consequences. But the military LOVES mass punishment. One person screws up and everybody pays. Every. Single. Time.
With the new administration vibe going on now, reactionary punishment from the top down is on level 10. Some might say this is "training" and not anything negative. Whatever it is, it has an impact on combat readiness. Time spent on class after class after class of touchy-feely is time away from what they are getting paid to do.
I'm sure there are a few of any -ist's you care to mention in the ranks. But the military still gets along way better than most civilian organizations you care to name. You have to get along with the people you are with. You have no choice. It makes people grow.
Your thoughts are always worth hearing.
Are there rules about being in protests/demonstrations in civilian clothes on your own time?
