Please do not comment if you are still serving in the Military in some capacity; a/o where potentially your job, livelihood, or position could be at risk.

It's been a lot of years, but unless things are going backwards. the army was the least racist groups I've ever been in. Will you get made the butt of jokes based on your MOS or unit? Oh yeah, but at least in the units I served in racism was not tolerated. All we cared about was the person knowing their job and doing it. I hope this is still the case. My point is if things aren't broke don't try to fix them. I think we've kind of lost track of what the military really supposed to be. If there is racism in the ranks it definitely needs to get handled. On the other hand the military isn't a participation trophy type of job, and attempts to turn it into one should be removed like a cancer. All it takes is a quick look at what's happening in Ukraine to see how quickly one of the best militaries in world history can be turned into a useless gaggle. CRT should probably be looked at to see if it holds any value for the military. Since I only know what has been discussed about CRT on TV news I can't say I know enough to have an opinion.

Do we teach any history in the Military other than Military History, and then Military History specific to your service, ie. I learned Marine Corps Military History. We studied Tuns Tavern and the birth of the Marine Corps, Fort Nassau 1776, Battle of Chapultepec 1847, Battle of Bellevue Wood 1918, Battle of Iwo Jima 1945, Chosin Reservoir 1950, et cetera. We don’t need to learn this politically motivated racist created propaganda they are trying to dispose of from grade schools, and parents are going head to head with school boards to get it out of the schools, while the schools claim CRT doesn’t exist. So, if it doesn’t exist, why do we want to interject it into our military curriculum.

It was once taught in school as American History changing the title doesn't make it any different. I was taught all about this when I was in the 4th and 5th grade for the most part and more going all away through High School. We learn about Slavery and about the treatment of Native Americans. We were taught about voter's rights and lynching. African Americans were not the only people to be lynched. We all so learn about the treatment of the Irish and the coal mines and the Chinese and the American railways. Changing the "Title" doesn't make this all go away, it's called "Cover Up".

CPO Kurt Baschab - Who broke the first window in the Minneapolis riots, Who broke the first widow in the Capital, on January 6? When I refer to "American History" I am going all the way back to Plymouth Rock. Slavery has always been the spoils of the victors, going all they way back to when we fought with stick and stones. Just who thought up CTR and claimed it was the left trying to rewrite history, Rush Limbaugh pushed that button to get the Republicans all worked up, right along with Q'anon. Who has come up with this crazy idea of the "Great Replacement Theory", Right wing Radio did that is who. If everyone is so worried about GRT then why are we trying to ban abortions, when we all know that it is the poorer Ethnic Minority Communities that can't afford for any such procedure. While most of the those in the White communities can afford to just go to Mexico and have it done, sounds kind of counter productive to me. You might complain about all the riots we had and how much of nothing has been done about it however you would be wrong over 7000 people involved in rioting and looting have been arrested, charged and sentience. While just under 800 people who attacked our Capitol have been charged and fewer then that have been sentience. So you can scream injustice if you wish, how about starting with our former Commander in Chief Who tried to overthrow our government and our fair election process. Answer this, if the Arizona election process was so bad, the why didn't any and I mean any of the election processors come forth and say so when over 70% of the processors are Republicans. Wouldn't all of these processors have found fraud and report it "Yes" they would had they found any but they didn't and none of them filed any such reporting of fraud if you look at all of those who screamed fraud were all of those outside of the process, funny how that is. Trump was just a sore loser and just wanted to knock over the chess board. So if you want justice let us start there. Oh and by the way CRT and GRT for the most part was all pushed under the past administration.

lets not forget about all those so called peaceful riots in every democratic controlled city, and state though out this nation, lets not forget all the FEDERAL BUILDINGS WHERE BLM, ANTIFA ATTEMTED TO WELD THE DOORS SHUT WITH FEDERAL JUDGES, EMPLOYES, FEDERAL LAW ENFORCENT OFFICERS, ALL INSIDE AS THEY ATTEMTED TO BURN THE BUILDIND down with the FEDERAL EMPLOYEES INSIDE, LETS NOT FORGET WHO BAILED THEM OUT! NANCY PELOSI, CHUCK SCHUMER, are current Vice President, President, AOC, Her Squad, ETC. Not one of these BLM, ANTIFA Violent Individuals who Verbally and Physically Attacked City, State, Federal Law Enforcement Officers, Judges, Federal Employees, have not seen the inside of a federal court house, unlike the Jan 6 accused citizens who are still sitting in Jail Awaiting a court date one year later, yet every single democratic supporter who verbally, physically, Assaulted, Attacked , innocent Citizens, City, state, Federal law enforcement Officer , federal judges, federal employees all had charges dropped or reduced, in every democratic controlled city, and state. the only citizens being held accountable for there actions are those who supported Trump, or the Republican Party, if you are deemed a threat to the Democratic party the democratic party has Successfully Weaponized the federal Law Enforcement Agency to go after you. it a crying shame we have a two maybe a Three Tier justice System, where there is one set of rules for the Elected Democratic political Elites like Nancy Pelosi, and Her Family, Lois Lerner at the IRS, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden his son Hunter and Brother they are a big Crime Family themselves, lets not forget Chuck Schumer , none of them will ever be held accountable for there crimes. then there the Elected progressive republican officials, then the united states Citizens that believe in the Declaration of Independence, United states Constitution, Bill Of Rights, we are the biggest threat to the Elected Progressive, Socialist, Communist, Marist, Fascist democratic Officials, and there supporters .

this is the most recent example of the Democratic party Ideal of equal justice under the law. this is just one of many example of the two tier justice system in America. hell America First Un-Elected President refuse to even enforce the law when it comes to America most southern border, he and the elected democratic party help the Illegals Break the law!

Hillary Clinton with the help of the FBI, that the Elected Democratic party weaponized , Illegally spied on and framed President Trump, despite all this overwhelming evidence and despite hearing Nancy Pelosi Scream no one is above the law for 4 long years, we now see what she was really screaming no one is above the Democratic party frame job, even when the Lying, Cheating deceiving elected officials are caught they ensure they walk with a crooked judge who ensure they have a crooked jury.

case in point, Despite the Overwhelming Evidence proving how the Hillary Clinton Campaign framed president trump during the Presidential Election, and while he was president, a Obama Appointed judge allowed a crooked DC JURY That included DONORS to the CLINTON CAMPAIGN, INDIVIDUAL WHO had children who played on the accused daughters Soccer team, no surprise they ACQUITTED HILLAYS LAWYER'S, OF LYING TO THE FBI, and PROMOTING A HOAX TO DISCREDIT PRESIDENT TRUMP!
I GUESS YOU CALL THAT EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW?
I Know of no other Judge who would have allowed Clinton DONORS, the Mother of a Child who plays on the same team, with the Accused Daughter. these Individual should have been removed from the jury pool.

You rant about election fraud as if it were a problem, which it is not. Not knowing how the election system and process works is where the problem lies. Cyber Ninja owned by a major Trump supporter) audited the election in Arizona, this was led by a Republican party only to find out there was no fraud. Pressure placed on other Republican members in other states to lie about the election results and to have the elections in those states to be thrown out. These were states where Republican members stated there was NO fraud. Now we are dealing with an alternate list of fake Electorates drummed up by Republican in an attempt to overthrow a clean and fair election.
Again, as for riots go, over 7000 have been arrested and prosecuted. Sure, in Portland the police were doing a catch and release because they didn't have the manpower to fully process them. However now that the situation has calmed down, they are going around and bringing those they released back to the courts for justice. How many January 6th attackers were released on probation? A lot! sure there were some special people that got jail time but overall, many were given probation. Is it justice? Yes, is it justice many feel it was to light after all the attacked our Capital many with violence in mind, chanting "Hang Mike Pence" doesn't sound like they were coming to sell cookies. Attacking police officers injuring and hospitalizing many others does that sound like they were on a peaceful tour guide?
Let us look at AG Bar, how many times did he fail to do his job when it came to prosecuting those working under Trump? How many people working under Trump that Trump gave Pardons too? How many State AGs failed to prosecute republicans that clearly violated the law? So don't cry foul Trump in one case is accused of rape and yet will not turn over DNA to prove his innocence. Trump involved in another case of rape of a 13-year-old girl. When it came time for her to testify, she was a no show for the hearing, and now no one can find her not even her parents who have filed a missing person's report. Look who's dodging the law.
The Southern Border how is it, that there is this flood of folks coming into the US when Trump's Title 42 is still in place that still has the border locked down, sure we are still having a folks coming in but not like everyone is screaming about. And what is adding to the cost of high food prices? The lack of cheap labor, just who do you think work in those field where stoop labor is involved not legal Americans. Farmers under Trump had to raise their labor cost well over $15 an hour to find worker for their fields. Combine that now with fuel cost and you have a very bad problem. Who do you think, works in those back kitchens in Mom-and-Pop restaurants? How many Non-Chinese you see working in the kitchen of Chinese restaurants? Many American Businesses want cheap labor however we shut the door to that labor and now cost have gone up, figure that.
I have many friends in Europe and maintained their friendship over the years, who look at the US overall, shake their heads and mutter "WTF"
Since Biden has taken office every bill that has had added benefits for Veterans has been voted down by 100% of the Republicans in office and yet they the republicans have yet to submit a bill for increasing Veteran Benefits that they approve of
FDR pushed through the "New Deal" not once but twice to raise the US out of the Depression. Under which the economy grew 58% from 1932 to 1940 and another 56% during 1941 to 1945. And yet every bill that has purposed any such action like the "Build Back Better" bill has been voted down by Republicans, sure sounds contrary to "Make America Great Again" is that just a slogan that is nice to say, or does it really have any real meaning.

My suggestion, get a real factual definition of Critical Race Theory, and after you know what it is and is not you can then comment on the subject. History, is foundation of what Critical Race Theory is about. As for me, I really believe that 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. ' It's history, so teach it.

General Milley’s argument for reading that garbage is intellectually dishonest at best but more in line with feckless pandering. You don’t read black identity extremism to “understand white rage,” you read the “Turner Diaries.” It’s like studying Pinochet to understand Communism. Dumb and disingenuous, and just another example of the institutionalized elitism in the upper echelons putting them further out of touch with their subordinates and the country as a whole.
