Internal memo from the 8 Chiefs of Staff sent on 12/01/21 to US military personnel
In a rare event in American military history, the eight Joint Chiefs of Staff, comprising the chiefs of the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Space Force, US Coast Guard, Marine Corps, National Guard and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who chairs this body that advises the President of the United States, issued an exceptional message on Tuesday, January 12, 2021, to military personnel. The text denounced the unrest on Capitol Hill last week as an attack on the U.S. constitutional process:  
"The violent riot in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, was a direct attack on the U.S. Congress, Capitol Hill and our constitutional process. The rights of free speech and assembly do not authorize anyone to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection."
