Especially when you have to serve in the same unit with this guy. When you have to look at him daily. Knowing that he dislikes me because of the color of my skin. There are people here in this country I would give my life for any day. All races. It sucks to know that I am serving with a so called "leader of men" a comissioned officer! That will take the reigns of a group of extremist. A Co has a decent amount of men of color, that I am sure would put his life on the line for this guy any day, but the judgement has been passed on him. So, this ungrateful guy won't even begin to do the same. It sucks! I am speechless after this, and outraged. Especially, since I have to salute this guy, 1LT Runge, evertime I see him! Something is wrong with this. This needs to be bought to the light! I would be the one, but I can lose rank etc. This is an outrage for one.

How to pressure them I'm not sure... maybe make sure this story gets more attention, like with John Stewart or Steven Colbert. Can anybody out there get them to notice this?

The number of military veterans in the United States. (From the upcoming Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2006.) You take a sampling of that many people who have been involved with the military or are presently and that sample will yield some nut cases.... So the military may have 200+ bigots who are active in a Nazi organization - I would bet that number may diminish before too long....The investigative services of the military is not too damn tolerant of idiots who worship Hitler, burn the US flag while screaming for Sedition, & are a major security risk. The surest way to wipe your butt clean of any chance of promotion is to open your mouth about loving the enemies of the Constitution. I think that the effort to hunt bigots will yield fruit - just don't expect too many people to be found. The reason is NOT that the military wants to keep them.....but that simple statistical relationships indicate that the sample may just be too small to impact the daily news. For those of you who have NOT served in the military, there are quite a few jobs that you have serious background investigations to achieve. Almost anything of a trusted nature is NOT given to low functioning idiots who can't play well with others. This is NOT me defending the military - but common sense. If you take a moment to think this through you will realize that the effort to rid the military of fools is a good thing; but it may not actually pull as many fish from the water as expected. That's not because they slip the net, it's because of a complex set of conditions that eventually asks "do you want a career or do you want to play Aryan-Superman?" 24.5 million !

From my observations there is certainly a thread of racism that runs through the military and law enforcement, yet every effort to call attention to it is blasted as a "race card" play. I sincerely hope that the evidence presented here is given the serious consideration that it is due and I plan to write to my representatives in Congress about the importance of this issue, especially with regard to the escalating numbers of hate crimes in our country. Very well done, SPLC. I continue to hold your organization in the highest regard. This is a truly impressive report and one that deserves national attention.
