Message from Joint Chiefs on U.S. Capitol Riot

January 12, 2021 5:19 PM
The following is the Jan. 12, 2021 message to U.S. troops from the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE JOINT FORCE
SUBJECT: MESSAGE TO THE JOINT FORCE

The American people have trusted the Armed Forces of the United States to protect them and our Constitution for almost 250 years. As we have done throughout our history, the U.S. military will obey lawful orders from civilian leadership, support civil authorities to protect lives and property, ensure public safety in accordance with the law, and remain fully committed to protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The violent riot in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 was a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process. We mourn the deaths of the two Capitol policemen and others connected to these unprecedented events.

We witnessed actions inside the Capitol building that were inconsistent with the rule of law. The rights of freedom of speech and assembly do not give anyone the right to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection.

As Service Members, we must embody the values and ideals of the Nation. We support and defend the Constitution. Any act to disrupt the Constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values, and oath; it is against the law.

On January 20, 2021, in accordance with the Constitution, confirmed by the states and the courts, and certified by Congress, President-elect Biden will be inaugurated and will become our 46th Commander in Chief.

To our men and women deployed and at home, safeguarding our country-stay ready, keep your eyes on the horizon, and remain focused on the mission. We honor your continued service in defense of every American.

the left did some violence, that is true

but there's a big difference between rioting for civils rights
and rioting to do harm to lawmakers and overturn an election

that's why it's called sedition and insurrection
including by the Joint Chiefs
who should know

big difference between torching a liquor store or police station
and attacking the nation's capitol to overthrow a govt

you can deny that intent if you like
but that just shows the radicalized reich is FOS

tens of millions marched for months for BLM
and of that number how many were violent?

contrast that with the 8000 who ransacked the capitol
with tactical gear, zip ties to hostage, and pipe bombs to distract

looking for lawmakers to kidnap, assault, hang, and kill
they beat one capitol polilceman to death
and another will lose an eye

big difference between BLM and the Boys
