Twelve National Guard troops deployed to Washington ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration were flagged during background checks and have been sent home, Defense Department officials confirmed Tuesday, offering scant details as to what raised suspicions about them.Two of those were flagged for “inappropriate comments or texts,” Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the Nation Guard Bureau, told reporters, including one reported within their own chain of command. Hokanson’s comments refute a Tuesday story from the Associated Press that all 12 troops removed from the Capitol had right-wing militia ties.“If there’s any identification or anything whatsoever that needs to be looked into,

They were suspected of being patriots and taking their oaths "to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic...." seriously.

They once stayed at a hotel that Trump was thinking of buying?

Oh, and the Pentagon is a building; buildings don’t talk. Names please other than the Chief?

This is no joke. The leftists are now going to get serious about ferreting out anyone in the military and probably all law enforcement that shows any signs of being opposed too their ideology. They have already weaoonized our intelligence agencies as a new kind of KGB and they are now going to monitor all activity and writings of military personnel to get rid of anyone who won't back them.
In brief, they want anyone who legally head any weapons, especially the most legal ones to be on their side. This purge of our National Guard is the start. Every patriot should be seeing and hearing flashing red lights and hearing sirens right now. This is our last warning of what is really coming.

You can be sure they were sent home for "thought crimes." They haven't drunk the Washington Kool-Aid and are still capable of reading/understanding the Constitution and thinking for themselves. So, buh-bye. Can't have THAT.

After the big splash they made announcing the "investigation," they had to find someone to pin it on.

Yeah, only 12 troops out of 25,000??? These 12 must have had some significant issues. I am in no way doubting what's ahead for the Biden administration's leap forward into fascism, but this doesn't sound like much of an issue to me. I was expecting thousands.

And so it begins.
Not one former President (as far as I can tell) issued any statement condemning the shutting down of President Trump's twitter account, etc.
I cannot even watch Newsmax this morning without them having on some Democratic Strategist, Mustafa Tameez, criticizing every aspect of President Trump. I don't need or want Fox News lite.

I weep for what has been, is and will be done to the military I served in for 28 years - there won’t be any going back after “woke” takes hold......

I'd bet they probably said that Trump was their President.

The Soviet Union military had a two-track command structure: the traditional military chain of command and the political commissars who monitored political purity. Guess which one had the most power?

it was a choice of: throwing darts or eenie, meenie, minie, moe etc. the hypocrisy and politicization of this whole thing is so evident. schumer is going to bury mcconnell so deep, he wont't see the light of day for a millenia but, mcconnell, is so devious and corrupt it doesn't matter to him. I have never seen such despicable, traitorous behaviour from a member of one party against the President of his party. mcconnell has achieved a new low in political loyalty.

Strange that the Guardsmen were carrying weapons with NO magazines inserted...

Background checks included info from
Facebook etc. This indicates that none of us are safe from social media.
I stopped Facebook over a month ago. I opened a Twitter account some years ago but never used it. I prefer to converse with real people face-to-face (with the exception of talking with God, who has my best interests at heart). I recommend this to you.

Back to a commander-in-chief who loathes and fears the troops.

Poster #11, I've noticed more leftists on the so-called conservative news channels lately. I turn them off almost as much as I did faux a few years ago. The best news channel is one that has dialogue between conservatives and conservatives who disagree, not moderates and definitely not leftists. I don't want to hear what they say over at any of the communist run news outlets. I freakin don't care; they have one track minds and that is we have all power, we own everything. Not interested.

There is no justification for this insult or they would have detailed it. This was evidently yet another attempt to threaten & intimidate. Remember, in America we are innocent until proven guilty!

I suspect that a few of the guard needed to be home to birth a baby, or bury a parent.
Saying that they voted for Trump and believe the election was stolen, is as effective as carrying your Bible into jury duty.
