The Pentagon is investigating extremism in the military. Here’s how bad the problem is
The Pentagon’s most recent search for extremists within the ranks was just the latest failure to find evidence that the military is a breeding ground for violent radicals, a Fox News review has found.
The Department of Defense identified fewer than 100 instances of confirmed extremist activity in 2021, the Pentagon reported in December. Despite significant rhetoric from Democrats, media pundits and activists, the finding was unsurprising to more than 30 current and former service members who spoke with Fox News.
"I noticed zero extremism during my time in the military," Matthew Griffin, a former Army Ranger, told Fox News. "None. Didn't witness it at all."
Each service member echoed similar remarks, explicitly saying they’d never seen any extremist behavior.
The service members Fox News interviewed ranged from cadet to major. They spanned five branches and the political spectrum, and their service dates as far back as 1980.
Being unable to find even 100 extremists in the military "is a success story and shows that extremism is not a large problem," a former command sergeant major said.

Less than 100 out of how many military personnel? Sound like that could be a lower % than there are in the general population of the US (which is already a very small %).

As usual, the liberal demand for white supremacy of racism far exceeds the supply.

And yet thanks to Austin, Milley, and the rest of the woke crowd, they're bound and determine to find something that isn't there.
BTW - here's the definition of "extremist activity" per the Pentagon report that has feces smeared all over it.
(1) Extremist Activities. The term “extremist activities” means:
(a) Advocating or engaging in unlawful force, unlawful violence, or other illegal means
to deprive individuals of their rights under the United States Constitution or the laws of the United
States, including those of any State, Commonwealth, Territory, or the District of Columbia, or any
political subdivision thereof.
(b) Advocating or engaging in unlawful force or violence to achieve goals that are
political, religious, discriminatory, or ideological in nature.
(c) Advocating, engaging in, or supporting terrorism, within the United States or abroad.
(d) Advocating, engaging in, or supporting the overthrow of the government of the
United States, or any political subdivision thereof, including that of any State, Commonwealth,
Territory, or the District of Columbia, by force or violence; or seeking to alter the form of these
governments by unconstitutional or other unlawful means (e.g., sedition).
(e) Advocating or encouraging military, civilian, or contractor personnel within the DoD
or United States Coast Guard to violate the laws of the United States, or any political subdivision
thereof, including those of any State, Commonwealth, Territory, or the District of Columbia, or to
disobey lawful orders or regulations, for the purpose of disrupting military activities (e,g.,
subversion), or personally undertaking the same.
(f) Advocating widespread unlawful discrimination based on race, color, national origin,
religion, sex (including pregnancy), gender identity, or sexual orientation.
I find (f) most interesting. That means that those advocating discrimination of straight white males to be guilty of "extremist activity." Lots of that out there.

You're correct about being suspicious of that (f) qualifier. That could be interpreted a lot of different and dangerous ways, such as trying to define "hate speech".
