The US Military is Filled With Nazis

Growing evidence suggests that neo-Nazis and other white-supremacists are infiltrating the US armed forces. The Southern Poverty Law Center recently urged Congress to conduct an investigation into this matter to make sure the military isn't training future terrorists (neo-Nazis are the real "domestic terrorists").

The SPLC sent a letter about this issue to the chairmen of the House and Senate committees on Homeland Security and Armed Services.

The SPLC recently found a website that is similar to Facebook, only for neo-Nazis. Dozens of its racist members listed "military" as their occupation. There are also FBI and Department of Homeland Security reports that back up the SPLC's claim that the military is being infiltrated by neo-Nazis.

"Evidence continues to mount that current Pentagon policies are inadequate to prevent racial extremists from joining and serving in the armed forces," SPLC founder Morris Dees said. He continued, "Because the presence of extremists in the armed forces is a serious threat to the safety of the American public, we believe Congressional action is warranted."

In 1986, the SPLC gave evidence to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger that some Marines were participating in Ku Klux Klan paramilitary activities. Weinberger issued a directive about this, but it was inadequate. In 1996, three soldiers from Fort Bragg murdered a black couple in North Carolina for a racially-motivated ritual.

Last year, the FBI released a document that supports the Southern Poverty Law Center's claims about neo-Nazi infiltration in the military. This past April, the Department of Homeland Security said that Nazis and other white-nationalists are joining the military to gain combat training and weapons. It also said that right-wing extremists are the number one domestic terrorist threat in the USA.

In 1994, over 12,500 American military personnel were discharged simply because they were homosexuals. "It seems quite anomalous that the Pentagon would consider homosexuals more of a threat to the good order of the military than neo-Nazis and other white supremacists who reject our Constitution's most cherished principles," said Mark Potok, director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project, which monitors extremist activity.
