The military seems to be dragging its feet when it comes to rooting out religious extremists, criminals, and racial supremacists in our miliatry forces.
Yet, they absurdly persist in the antigay witch hunts forcing tens of thousands of servicemembers to leave the military.

It’s time to target the hate mongers, and stop the witch hunt against homosexuals.

why go after the troops for opinions and beliefs? if there has not been any violence or threats and they follow the rules, then what is the problem?

So it has now become official. The site is pure evidence that despisable white supremacists has indeed infilitated military ranks, as shown on their abhorrent website. One cannot dispute this fact. Its piteous to say the least. We always hear infantile cries from white supremacists who are implying that gangs like Bloods, Crips, and the MS-13 et cetera. Are in the military. But I have yet to see hardcore evidence pointing this out by wing-ding white supremacist of the far Right!! I don’t deny the belief that there are some gangbangers in the military but are they dumb enough to expose themselves like the retards in the newsaxon.org??? Probably not. I have read an article somewhere about a gangbanger who joined the military to change his life for the better, but not from a Neo Nazi.

I.ve seen plenty of non-white gangbangers who when they come out of the military, run guns sell drugs, and a host of other crimes, desert storm was filled with gangbangers, didnt you read about it then,it was on 60 Minutes for damn sakes.
But the SPLC only targets whites,How many Latino’s check out”La Raza’s” site, or Blacks on a NAACP website’s Im sure its pretty even. And why wont La Raza let me join their organization,NAACP,UNCG, BECAUSE IM WHITE, ahhh aint that discrimanation?

So, I’m not paranoid after all, am I Sergeant Turner!?
When I was in the US Army ’89 – ’96, these white supremacist types were all around. They always thought they could spew their trash around me because I was another white guy. They didn’t know that I was (now am) married to a black woman.
When I would make a report to the EO NCO, there would be a lame attempt at an investigation, then it would end in my chain odf command telling me that I just had a “personality conflict” with this or that guy, or that I just had some sort of “KKK under the beds” paranoia.
So, the haters always ended up keeping their confederate battle flags waving in the barracks, and kept up their hate speech, and I ended up labeled as a trouble-maker.
Feels good to be vindicated.

Truth Monger, I usually the one to say that there’s no such thing as a dumb question, but in your case I’ll make an exception. Now, go back and read the article, and pay more attention this time.

Truth monger has sort of a point. A lot of people come into the Military with preset expectations of other groups, only to find they have more in common than they thought, and when the heat is on, that very different person can be depended on like a brother. At least that’s how it’s supposed to go if the training is right and the officers aren’t dumbass racists too. If we can’t change their minds can we maybe talk them into suicide missions?

Sam, the whole point of the article, if you had read it, is that these people go in intentionally to get military training so that they can get out and use that military training on their fellow citizens, ie become domestic terrorists. Timothy McVeigh and John Allen Muhammad are examples of this. Leaders in the WS movement are encouraging their followers to enter and infiltrate the military in order to recieve the training so that when they get out they can start and fight in the “race war” that they have been expecting in their fantasy scenarios. It’s not about whether or not they are good soldiers while they are in, it’s about what they intend to do with it when they get out.
I hate to get mean-spirited about it, but when people like you and “Truth” don’t bother to read the article, and insist on defending WS as just another “opinion” then I really have no choice.

their have been the racist confederate flag types serving in the military in interracial units since korea (when mixed units first formed)
a stalinist type purge of them now really wont do anything other than cause more animosity and hatred

Allen, you’re right on the ball. You hit the nail on the flippin’ head. But its imperative that you do not regard “Truth” by its moniker, but instead only as Hatemonger, as he is known to defend racists in the articles in which he comments on. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being “mean spirited” about them. It will only make you look siissy and subtle if you’re not dealing with the enemy in this content. You need to remain vigorous, vigilant and vocally loud when addressing the opposition!
Your comment pretty much sums it up regarding WN extremists in the military who seek training for the sordid purposes of domestic terrorism. The bottomline is that history is full of truth. And one cannot deny the historical events leading up to all the WN violence perputrated by anti-law white supremacists on the American public and law enforcement. To deny this, is to deny the *REAL* “truth”.

I fully agree that U.S. Service Members’ membership in fascist organizations is counter to the goals and values of the United States. However, we must also ensure that the same attention is applied to members of Muslim extremist movements, black-power organizations and street gang affiliates within our ranks. Whenever white members are selectively targeted for their beliefs, it adds fuel to the fire and lends credibility to their conspiracy theories.
