Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has made clear his determination to root out racism and extremism from the ranks of the U.S. military. Unless, that is, the racism is black supremacism and the extremism is Marxist in character.

In those cases, service personnel exhibiting such behavior are evidently immune from criticism and the sorts of purges in which the Secretary and his minions are engaged, pursuant to the tenets of so-called Critical Race Theory prized by the Biden-Harris administration.

By contrast, former Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump declared over the weekend that, were he still in office, he would have fired such military leaders. And a growing number of our countrymen have signed a petition “respectfully insisting” that Secretary Austin “honor the oath” of office that obliges him to support and defend the Constitution.
