White supremacist presence within military 'detailed in new Pentagon report'

A new Pentagon report on extremism has revealed that several white supremacists have been active in the US military.

The report, obtained by Roll Call, which was commissioned by Congress and dated October 2020 [under the Trump administration] , details instances of former military personnel speaking openly about their white supremacist views while serving.

One example featured in the report was a former National Guardsman bragging about openly espousing his white supremacist views while serving in the military.

The former guardsman did this in the extremist “Iron March” online forum in 2016, telling another member: “I was 100 per cent open about everything with the friends I made at training. They know about it all. They love me too cause I’m a funny guy.”

2. Vic Snyder, former D rep from Ark and by and far the strongest supporter of the military,

headed House VA Subcommittee, former Doc in Marines, etc. Got chased out by Teabagger sweep. He was a great guy for fighting for the Military. He would fly back each weekend and every Saturday morning would go to the a local park, sit at a picnic table and speak to any constituent who showed and wanted to talk, a lot of them were vets, who needless swept him in each election. You'd also see him every Sat. night having a slice and beer at the local pizza parlor. Well rounded guy who the country lost from the House.

Might be something for newbie to be seen and approachable.

My question when seeing such accusations is always "actual white supremacist/racist/nazi or Obama wasn't the greatest president/everything isn't YT's fault/pull up your pants white supremacist?"  Moonbats and proggies have watered the terms down to meaninglessness, which gets actual nazi/racists glossed over and normal people demonized.

This reminds me of immediately after the Oklahoma City bombing.  The news media/liberals tried to create this fear that there were tens of millions of white militia members in the country.  It was complete horse-hockey, just as they are exaggerating the QAnon/Proud Boys thing now.

The demand far exceeds the supply.

Now they should do gang bangers in the military.

The left chided us non stop after the 9/11 attacks that it was only a tiny faction of radical muslims who initiated the attacks and does not represent the 99.9% of peaceful muslims living in the US at the time.

Fast forward to 2020 and the left has traded that tiny paint brush with a wide paint roller with their nonstop mantra that ACAB (all Cops are bad) and all Trump supporters are white supremacists, nazis, and domestic terrorists with ties to qAnon and the proud boys.

And a few years back there was a study about black extremists (aka gang members) in the military... and when they served their enlistments they went back to the gangs they belonged to and employed military tactics in gang violence.

So there dummie.
