Air Force senior leaders on Thursday announced that the department will conduct an assessment on extremism in the ranks of armed forces while calling on all service members to stand against these views.
“While the First Amendment of the Constitution recognizes freedom of expression, is our obligation to stand against extremism, as we should with anything that threatens to undermine good order and discipline, trust, and our culture of respect,” reads a memorandum signed by several top leaders from the Department of the Air Force.
