The recently confirmed Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, tends to be alone with a world of security and a huge military bureaucracy, too, with a retort that seeks to do more: eradicate racism and extremism in the military.
Austin used the cargo of the four as the first black man to lead the Pentagon, a fatal blow to the Capitol as the active and retreating militaries were among the revolted animators by ultra-directive conspiracy theories.
The general withdrew from the senators this week that the work of the Pentagon is “protect the United States of our allies, but we can make some of our allies exist in our sons”.
Book racing to the armed forces is not his only priority. Austin, confirmed by the 93-2 vote, made it clear that accelerating the entry of vacancies for coronavirus would lead to his immediate attention.
But racism is personal. In his March confirmation hearing, he explained why.
In 1995, when the Austin coronator served at the 82nd Fort Bragg Aeronautical Division in North Carolina, three white soldiers who were considered speeding were arrested by the caretaker of a black couple who were on call. The investigation concluded that the attack was racist.
The assessee conducted an internal investigation and in the final 22 soldiers were beaten to death and other similar groups determined that the idea was extremist. Among them are 17 who were considered supremacists or white separatists.
“We will have a day and discover what extremists will do to our sons,” Austin told the Senate Armored Services Commission. “And those hiccups are bad for those who are certainly responsible hiccups, but I find out that all the time there are no indications of their activities. We simply do not know who to look for and who to pay attention to ”.
Austin is not the first Secretary of Defense to deal with the problem. Racism has been around for a long time in the armed forces. Although the leaders insist that only a small minority has extremist views, it has persistent racist instances and, most notably, a history of prejudices implicit in a predominantly white institution.
A recent reporter from the Inspector General concluded that the black members of the Air Force were his most investigated, arrested, disciplined and licensed for poor conduct.
Based on 2018 dates, approximately three percent of its whites and 17% of its blacks, but the percentage of the minority will decrease in rank. The general population is approximately three-quarters white and 13% black, in agreement with the Bureau del Censo.
During the last year, the Pentagon’s papers have been working to implement changes, obstructed by the opposition of President Donald Trump. The tome measures in the department may prohibit the Confederate flag from being passed and officials of the Pentagon dejaron in the wake of the Congress’s the effort to rebuild military bases that include the numbers of Confederate leaders. Trump has begun to change the names of the bases and defend the Confederate flag.
The flag, as well as the busts and statutes commemorating the General and Officers of the Confederacy, are shown by some as a symbol of order or identity, a historical herenia or military emblem that only symbolizes the herence of the states of the South, but others are considered as a symbol of racism, white supremacy, intolerance and slavery.
The Austin Hiccup Senators are questioning extremism about military avenues and their plans for combat. The hearing was conducted two weeks after the lawmakers escaped from Trump’s party turbo as the Capitol.
“It’s clear that we are at a critical point,” said Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who agreed that leaders should eradicate extremism and reaffirm the values of the armed forces.
Senator Democrat Tim Kaine asked Austin about the media that Tomaria. “Disunity is probably the most destructive force for our defenders’ capacity,” said Kaine. “If we are divided one against another, will we defend the nation?”
Austin, as it crosses racial barriers in its four decades of career in action, says military leaders need to send the example to slow down and eliminate extremist driving. Deben knows his soldiers and looks for signs of extremism and other problems, he says.
