Welcome to Thunderdome

From what appears to be a USAF training document on Equal Opportunity, comes an instruction block on "Extremism". Some examples of historical extremism are given:
As noted, an ideology is a set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society. People who are committed to an ideology seek not only to persuade but to recruit others to their belief. In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.

So, members of a nation's armed forces are being told that the founders of the nation in whose armed forces they serve were the kind of extremist kooks they need to look out for?

Yes. Because under the current regime they would have been considered terrorists and shipped off to Gitmo, no doubt about it.
