    "The Pentagon is confronting a resurgence of white supremacy and other right-wing ideologies in the ranks and is scrambling to track how acute the problem has become in the Trump era."


    "It's an issue that has simmered in the military for years, but is now front and center following signs that former military personnel played a role in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol last week."

    I watched a bit of news yesterday and seem to remember hearing they have a couple thousand troops guarding the Capitol.
    Do you suppose there is any possibility that when the time comes...those troops will arrest and remove Pelosi and the democrats?
    That those military personnel are actually there to keep tRump in power?
    Also heard Biden was invited by tRump to stay in some traditional historic dwelling which would make Biden an easy target.

    Nah.

    Nothing like that will happen.

    Speculation of that nature is better addressed in the Conspiracy Section.

    half of our US Veterans and half of our active duty troops voted for Biden, treason just got a whole lot easier to rat out

    Treason is on full display, for those with open eyes and curious minds. From my cynical perspective, it has been on full and open display for years, at least since the passage of the Unpatriot Act and the AUMF

    The only hate problem the military has is the piles of hate the left dumps on them, and that's it.

    Translation: The military forces are trying to purge conservatives, and continue on with the culturo-social indoctrination that involves thought-control.

    Apparently the high-ups know Trump is about to be out of office in a few days, so they can't wait to get the ball rolling.

    Haters write an article about right wingers being in the military, what other facts do you need?

    but is it not true that some military, law enforcement, and government personnel participated in the riot?

    I am confident the US military brass will work to correct the issue.

    Only a handful.

    Just because Politico claims the military has a hate group problem that doesn't make it true.

    Perhaps only a handful in a crowd of hundreds...but how great is a handful of the whole military complex?

    First of all, a crowd of thousands, if not tens of thousands.

    Secondly, why is a 1) Leftist political publication 2) singling out the military and 3) on how do a handful of people who are probably ex-military qualify as a hate group problem in the military?

    Third, the U.S. military is 1) probably the oldest integrated institution in this country and 2) wouldn't be able to function if it had a legitimate hate group problem.

    Finally, if the military had a hate group problem we would have known about it by now.

    Sure, there are a few bad apples in the military just as there are a few bad apples in every segment of our population. That doesn't mean the military has a hate group problem.

    Until I see actual evidence instead of what appears to be an ignorant exercise in fear-mongering and perhaps anti-military animus (or both) I'm calling BS on this story.

    I used the word "suggests"...because I have no way of knowing personally if it is "fact" or "alternative fact".
    It is simply information that applies to the thread.
    Feel free to provide information that discredits the politico link.

    No, we've known for years that the military has a serious problem with white supremacy. This isn't new. They're just now starting to realize they have to take action on this.
