DID SOCOM HIRE A WOKE COMMISSAR?

I just can't bypass this piece of news, without posting it.  I'll have a follow-up post, after I drop this article...  :thumbup:

From SOFREP...

Did SOCOM Hire a Woke Commissar?

by John Black 13 hours ago

Did SOCOM Hire a Woke Commissar?

This past week, U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) gave way to political pressures again by announcing their new Chief of Diversity & Inclusion on Twitter. The position will be held by Mr. Richard Torres-Estrada.

According to USSOCOM’s Twitter post,

“USSOCOM welcomes our new Chief of Diversity & Inclusion, Mr. Richard Torres-Estrada. We look forward to his contribution in enhancing the capabilities and effectiveness of #SOF through diversity of talent, helping us recruit the best of the best. #QuietProfessionals”

This is a joke of a position to make politicians on the hill feel better. While I have nothing against Mr. Torres-Estrada, what in the world do we need this position for?

U.S. Army has been around since June 14, 1775 — more than a year before the Declaration of Independence — and never felt the need for such a position until now. But why now? Did President Trump divide the country so badly that now that we have a Democrat in office, we have to appease everyone by making up a fictional position to keep the politicians happy?

Since its official establishment, the U.S. Army has played a vital role in the American nation’s growth and development. Drawing on both long-standing militia traditions and recently introduced professional standards, it achieved the new republic’s independence in an arduous eight-year struggle against Great Britain. At times, the Army provided the lone symbol of nationhood around which patriots rallied. None of which relied on diversity and inclusion.

The Military’s purpose is to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me.”

How does SOF meet targets and goals for diversity in a highly selective volunteer system? The servicemembers these politicians want to see volunteer simply aren’t volunteering to do the job. It seems that servicemembers who value diversity and inclusion will not find it in SOF, which demands strict conformity within and to a tight culture. It’s like wondering why more white people don’t join the NAACP.

The bottom line is that special forces don’t give a crap about race, religion, gender, sex, or anything else. It’s an all-volunteer force with a strict set of standards. Anyone from anywhere can join if they meet these standards.

So let’s take a quick look at the person they selected, Mr. Torres-Estrada.

Capture-2.png?resize=511%2C472&ssl=1

The image above was taken directly off Mr. Torres-Estrada’s Facebook page. One person commented, “You should remove this. Your posting shows us all that you are not fit for your job. You are causing division with pathetic postings like this. You should be ashamed of yourself for causing more problems in this country. I hope and pray you will clean up your social media and have respect for others.”

In February 2019, he posted the above drawing showing similarities between communism and democratic socialism.

Capture2.png?resize=510%2C457&ssl=1

In 2018 Mr. Richard Torres-Estrada posted a GIF implying he was preparing “weed.” Maybe we should start with a drug test for the new hire.

Again, SOCOM tweeted out, “We look forward to his contribution in enhancing the capabilities and effectiveness of #SOF through diversity of talent, helping us recruit the best of the best.” First of all, this person doesn’t recruit anyone, and anyone wishing to join SOF wouldn’t listen to the career HR person anyway.

Is there not a qualified candidate for the job? Someone that isn’t preparing weed or has strong political feelings. Shouldn’t this job require a very neutral and objective person? But then again, I think the job is a massive waste of money to keep politicians quiet. What’s the number of the fraud waste and abuse department?

Rest In Peace Full Metal Jacket’s Gunnery Sergeant Hartman who said, “There is no racial bigotry here. Here, you are all equally worthless.”

Now, here's MY OPINION on this.  USSOCOM, altogether, and across ALL individual branches of the military that fall under them - they have ALOT of Civilian workers.  ALOT.  Some jobs are routine, some jobs, at the top of the hierarchy.  If you want one of those jobs that somewhere ABOVE ROUTINE, then you needed to serve in some capacity, INSIDE USSOCOM, in your MILITARY life.  Yeah, I said it - you needed to BE IN USSOCOM, in your "past life."  And not talking about "just got through it."  You needed to FUCKING EXCEL AT IT.  You needed to be a badass, that went way above and beyond any "recognized standards" that there were, for the unit that you were in. 

That needs to be a JOB PREREQUISITE for the Higher-Level Civilian Position INSIDE USSOCOM that you are applying for.  Period.  After we meet that gate - we'll talk about your Education, that you think qualifies you for this job position that you're applying for.

I'm telling you now, there is NO SHORTAGE for Former-SOF guys that have Master's Degrees in Human Resource Management - that they worked their asses off for once they either got out or retired out. 

And they picked this complete shiit-fuk?... 

That's my rant, right there.  Kick this shiibag STRAIGHT to the curb, and FUCKING HIRE SOMEONE THAT'S ALREADY QUALIFIED TO WORK AT THAT HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!...

Well, considering how many Recon marines I knew who had no problem repping neo-nazi tats, I'd say it's not the worst idea to have someone in the chain of command who can spot it and drum them out. poop, I had an NCO who straight up would drop the hard R, N-word at junior marines until I beat the poop out of him. That kind of blatant racism really isn't as uncommon in the military as you'd like to believe.

I did 21.5 years, in some really cool units, and I don't know what the fuk you're talking about...  

How long did you serve?

What kind of racism in the military did I even elude to, in what I posted, in the first place?! 

Oh, and what do YOU know that I BELIEVE?...   :popcorn:

So, how'd that work out for you?  You obviously were NOT an NCO, if "you had an NCO" that did this, and then you kicked his ass...

The hard R? You mean retard? Did he call you a retard? Did you fight your drill too? 
 

i know a lot of vets, of all races and I’ve not ever heard one mention blatant racism in the least bit, that’s a pretty interesting accusation of NEO nazi ink......

Everyone is "racist". Everyone of all colors and backgrounds made racist comments and jokes and made offensive inappropriate statements when I was in the military...and at the end of the day we would still all bleed for each other. That's what all the fake ass snowflake virtue signalling bitches can't seem to understand. 

But hey...I'm sure installing a party member in each unit to eliminate thoughtcrime in the ranks will work out just fine.

Did 4 years. Got a non-rec for the fight, left a Lance. Worth it to beat the snot out of a racist NCO who went around calling junior marines racist slurs.

Hey, remember that time an entire unit got into deep dookie for using the SS flag?

So, unless you know another reason for a Totenkopf and life rune tattoo, I'm gonna go with neo-nazi for that recon marine.

No, I don't remember that time.

How much time do YOU have in a military uniform?  I better clarify that - when did you enlist, and how long were you in a branch of any Armed Service for?  What was your term of enlistment?

Or, were you ever in?  I think not.

2015-19, Marine corps. 0621-22. 

 

Don't get your panties in a twist because someone had a different experience in the military than you did.

Don't get your panties in a twist over the Command Climate in the particular unit that you were in, over one enlistment.  Your experience doesn't match the rest of the military, by far.  Especially now, all Woke and bullshiit.

Given that the FBI has warned about white supremacist infiltration of the military and police forces, I'm inclined to say it's not an isolated incident. I'll trust the FBI's briefings over some internet rando any day.

You just quoted a document, as proof of a current argument - that is 15 years old...  Well done. :hail:

It IS an FBI Doc - published on the DEMOCRAT.OVERSIGHT.HOUSE website, too. Doubly Well Done...

Yes, the FBI has been warning about it for 15 years. That document was only recently declassified. I don't have access to the classified FBI docs, so, you got any reason white supremacists would stop trying to infiltrate the police and military? Or do you think they've been able to do so unfettered for the last 15 years, since nobody has done poop to curb it?

That document was Unclassifed, from it's start - it's the header that's right on top of it.  It clearly states it.

You are off the rails.  Take your bullshiit somewhere else.

You're the one who started this thread. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  If you can't handle where the discussion goes, don't hop on your soap box.

 

Now, you familiar with how documents are released by the FBI, or nah?

Yes, I started this thread, and I quoted a topic from a very reliable news source, on this topic.  THEN, I offered my opinion, based on my time in SOF, and the SOF mentality.  This article is about a SOF issue. 

Then, you hopped in, and you know everything - and that's just not the case here.  How much time do you have in SOF?  What units were you an RTO with?  What was your security clearance?

I provided a topic - from SOFREP - that is directly about a hire IN SOF - for a position that is not needed, by the author's opinion. I echo that opinion, completely.

You, are on another planet about this whole thing.  You can keep going, but you don't know what the fuk you're talking about.  You can generalize any military thing that you want - but that doesn't pertain to this article that I posted, not in the least.  Keep going, young pup.

All I know of SOF are the racist POS's that I had to deal with at my Barracks who would come get piss drunk with a white supremacist in my unit, and what the FBI has to say about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like I said, I'll trust the FBI and the patterns of behavior I've seen over some dick face on the internet who hasn't been in since the m16a3 was standard issue.

So, you don't know SHIIT about SOF, is what you're saying.  Never served in a SOF unit.  I have.

I had an M4A1 since 1995. 

I guess, you don't know what the M4A1 is - since it was never issues to you, or anyone around you.  Since you're quoting the M16A3 now... 

You're a joke.

All I know is how they've acted around me, and the data collected by the FBI that they've made public. All signs point to heavy white supremacist affiliations. I have no idea how a handful of recon marines could have Totenkopf, Odal Runes, and Life runes tattooed on their arms without chain of command picking up on it. Is SOCOM incompetent, indifferent, or complicit?

Which is saying - you don't know shiit about it.  You know nothing about SOF, besides what you SAW.  Zero experience, though, inside any one of those units.  Zero. 

So sit down, take a breath - and look at the article again - from an OUTSIDER'S perspective of the article's author - because that's exactly what you are.  You are an outsider in ANY kind of SOF discussion.  Period. 

Hey I get it - you're a badass.  If you really - REALLY - have something to say about this topic, then go to the source, and say it.  Go sign up on SOFREP, get into this article, and make your comments over there to John Black.  Let him know how you feel about the information of his that I presented.  Go get 'em.  Get info SOFREP and really tell them how you feel about this topic...
