re: #631 Salamantis

Because I have read the DHS report, and find it to be fair, if clumsily stated. We SHOULD be keeping our eyes open for recruitment of US military personnel by extreme right wing groups. Just like we should keep our eyes open for the depredations of extreme left wing groups and of Islamofascist groups, as detailed in two other DHS reports.

There are several US military veterans, including myself, who have publicly stated on this list that they in no way feel slandered by the report. We know that in an organization numbering in the high hundreds of thousands that there is a good chance that there might be some folks susceptible to such suasion. And our military training makes us much more dangerous than the average civilian citizen, as far as planning and perpetrating paramilitary and terror attacks are concerned.

Did you read the MIAC report? I’m guessing not, since you, for some reason, diverted the conversation back to the DHS report.

Before you impugn the judgement of (the democrat) Governor Nixon and (the republican) Lt. Governor Kinder, please read the report. Its hyperbole far exceeds the DHS report.
