“Keep in mind, they’re not labeling them as extremist organizations but as terrorist organizations and service-members are being indoctrinated to view Pro-Life groups as the enemy,” reported the Examiner.
The presentation shown to soldiers warned that the pro-life groups could use potentially “dangerous” tactics described as demonstrations and protest, truth display, picketing, and sidewalk counseling.
According a spokesperson, the slides were developed by a local garrison employee to train soldiers manning access control points at Fort Liberty.
“These slides will no longer be used, and all future training products will be reviewed to ensure they align with the current DoD anti-terrorism guidance,” the spokesperson said.
The presentation’s depiction of National Right to Life was criticized by the organization’s president, Carol Tobias.
“In our over 50-year history, National Right to Life has always, consistently, and unequivocally, condemned violence against anyone,” Tobias said.
Fort Liberty is one of the largest military installations in the world, with approximately 53,700 troops and 14,000 civilians working on the post. It contains nearly 10% of all U.S. Army forces.
