I find this unnerving. I would really prefer it if the military stayed out of any political process. Even just posting a memo like this in response to the attack on the Capitol building can be construed as a political action. It should have been a simple command down the chain that no military personnel should participate in insurrection and that prosecution would result if they did. A public announcement like this could be seen as an attack on the Trump base and start a downward spiral drawing the military more into the political process. But that is my view.
