00:00.140 --> 00:02.500
extremist ideologies that encourage

00:02.500 --> 00:05.900
hate discrimination , harassment and

00:05.900 --> 00:08.560
violence have no place in our army .

00:09.140 --> 00:11.400
Although the vast majority serve

00:11.400 --> 00:13.910
honorably and uphold our Army values

00:13.910 --> 00:16.910
with dignity , recent events have shown

00:16.920 --> 00:19.880
we must be vigilant and identifying and

00:19.880 --> 00:22.140
combating extremist beliefs in our

00:22.140 --> 00:25.790
ranks . With today's technology , toxic

00:25.790 --> 00:28.180
beliefs can spread faster than ever if

00:28.180 --> 00:30.410
we let them . That's why we're taking

00:30.410 --> 00:32.980
time to stand down and renew the oath

00:32.980 --> 00:34.924
we took when we entered government

00:34.924 --> 00:36.813
service to support and defend the

00:36.813 --> 00:39.770
Constitution of the United States . So

00:39.770 --> 00:42.103
although we're asking you to stand down ,

00:42.103 --> 00:44.270
we're telling you two never stand by .

00:44.440 --> 00:46.440
Together , we must demonstrate that

00:46.440 --> 00:48.760
extreme ideologies have no place among

00:48.760 --> 00:51.730
us . We stand down in order to stand up

00:51.740 --> 00:54.030
and amplify the proud legacy that has

00:54.030 --> 00:55.990
made the army the strength of our

00:55.990 --> 00:59.620
nation . Use this time to pause and do

00:59.620 --> 01:02.980
two things first . Remember why we

01:02.980 --> 01:05.300
serve with honor and support in defence

01:05.300 --> 01:08.470
of our constitution and second have the

01:08.470 --> 01:10.280
courage to speak up if you see

01:10.280 --> 01:12.060
extremism in our ranks .
