No one knows how many white supremacists have served since then. A 2008 report commissioned by the Justice Department found half of all right-wing extremists in the United States had military experience.

Combine this with their affinity for guns and it can get terrifyingly scary for the normal citizen...

I wouldn't concern myself with it.
Agreed. They're not a problem while they're the military; it's when they get out that they get up to no good.

"The FBI says in the past three years, officers in more than 100 different jurisdictions have encountered gang members with active or former military experience."

FBI Details Threat From Gangs In The Military

"Members of the Hells Angels, including an Army lieutenant colonel from Illinois, have served the U.S. military in Iraq. Another Iraq war veteran, a Marine who belongs to the Maniac Latin Disciples street gang, is charged with shooting three teens in Aurora.

They are examples of growing gang activity in the military, which "poses a threat to law enforcement officials and national security," according to a new FBI report obtained by the Sun-Times."

Yes, it's one isolated incident :roll eyes:


Geeze, what do you want the poster to do..post every single article out in the nether on what types of people are in the military ?

How's about thinking that post piqued your interest enough to go out and google more for yourself ?
Do people need to be hand fed 9000 links to prove that there are problems ?

That one link should be enough to back up his statement and prompt YOU, not him to do further reading.

I posted basically the same thing and didn't post a link because there are so many articles out there on various sites that I assumed people were well read enough to know it.

Ofcourse theres a "threat of ethnic gang members" in the military - it even says so in the two articles I posted.

The main difference is that the white supremacist threat is far higher, so much so that a Pentagon order has been sent down to explicitly reduce it.

The Pentagon's third directive against white supremacists was issued in 2009 after a Department of Homeland Security report expressed concern that right-wing extremists were recruiting veterans returning from wars overseas.

You asked me for the proof. The proof is right there. The Pentagon has issued orders against ALL Gang Problems in the military. Its been going on since the early 90's. White Supremacist's have been in the military since the 50's. Look at Timothy McVeigh and his lot. The only reason they are focusing now is because of the political climate. They are no more a threat to society then all the other gangs in the military.

And this is coming from a black man.

Why are you worried ? Whites are becoming the minority in America so they'll all eventually die off.
The numbers can only go down as the number of Whites in America decrease.

Its the perfect storm:

>50% of right-wingers with military "experience"

+

Extreme Tea Party antics firmly entrenched in Republican politics

+

rising right-wing resentment against a growing immigrant population

+

more and more guns feeding into the right-wing nation


= First World Taliban
