The Joint Chiefs of Staff, the group of the most senior uniformed leaders at the Pentagon, issued a force-wide statement Tuesday condemning the riot at the Capitol as a “direct assault” on Congress and the constitutional process and affirming President-elect Joe Biden will become the nation’s 46th commander in chief on Jan 20. The memo represented a rare step for a U.S. military leadership that has sought to keep the American armed forces out of the nation’s rancorous partisan politics in recent years. It came after a number of the rioters, who stormed the Capitol last week

Perfumed princes put in place by The Zero, I'll wager.
They don't believe that their oath sworn "to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic..." includes the criminals of the left who are destroying the country by fraudulent elections. And complaining about the massive election fraud is NOT PERMITTED.

Notice how they don't give a whit about the fact military absentee votes were thrown in the trash and substituted with pre-filled out ballots? The Globalist Elitist Cabal has taken over our Federal government. We're in for a very, very rocky ride. Eagles Up!

Parts of Lake Street, in Minneapolis look like Berlin in May of 1945. That isn't mentioned.

We have always been told that we can have our day in court. When we are denied that day, why are you surprised when people take it into their own hands? Don't Tread On Me was an American Flag, before the Stars and Stripes. Wonder why?

The Joint Chiefs are not elected, and I doubt many in the military would vote for any of them.

There's no place in the Constitution for these uniformed clowns to give their approval.
Shut up, take orders and salute.

This type of political statement should be ground for immediate removal from the joint chiefs, followed by a demand for their resignation from the service. They have exceeded their authority. The president controls the military, not the other way around.

In truth...... most of these flag officers will be looking for a new job come January 20th. So mouth the treasoncrat talking points to curry favor with the incoming regime.

What has happened to the JCS. There was a time when they represent the good ole USA, not some communist place.

This IS the WaPo. They've lied before. If even one of the JCS at the Pentagon said it, then according to WaPo, they ALL would have said it.
Mind you, considering any Obama appointees should have been canned long ago, but that didn't happen.
That said, will the soldiers follow their brass?

I see more cognitive dissonance is on order. When heads stop spinning the owners might figure this out, finally. If Paul Ryan and Mitch only knew, right?

This is odd. The JCS did not single out veterans. There IS social media chatter about participating veterans. Veterans have been active members of violent national protests since the founding of the country.
