Perchance maybe you should read the report first, before you accuse me of more ad hominem. I’m not attacking “another message”, I’m attacking the message.

The report cites this very report (though not by name, but rather as coming from a “prominent civil rights group”), in an attempt to use it as supporting evidence that “rightwing extremists” are attempting to infiltrate the military, in order to learn the arts of violence.

Come on; it’s clearly obvious from your previous discourse that you’re far too intelligent to fling allegations from a position of ignorance. Why do so here?

In fact, there are already several former US military personnel who are presently members of these radical right wing racist groups. This is unfortunate; what would be even more unfortunate would be for them to succeed in recruiting more. Who knows how many of their nonmilitary radical brethren they have trained in the killing arts?

The problem will only grow if it is ignored; I, for one, am glad that they are keeping an eye on it, and trying to minimize successful recruitment by educating US military members about these groups.
