Pentagon report reveals disturbing details about White supremacists in the ranks

It details an instance of a former National Guardsman who is a member of a dangerous neo-Nazi group bragging about openly discussing extremist views while serving and separately describes service members describing how they recognize fellow White supremacists by their fascist tattoos and T-shirt logos.

The report offers recommendations on how the Pentagon can use other government resources like FBI units to identify signs that recruits might have ties to extremist groups during the vetting and recruitment process. It also underscores some of the reasons these groups are targeting members of the military and how they are doing it.

While members of the military are prohibited from"participating in or advocating for supremacist and other extremist ideology," right now there is no official military rule or regulation that service members identified as domestic extremists or White supremacists be required to leave the military, except in the Navy. The authors of the report believe one should be added for all branches of military service.

These conversations are included in a section of the report detailing domestic terrorist groups with military ties. The groups listed all hold White supremacist and White nationalist beliefs. The conversations show how members of these groups talked with others in the military about their beliefs, and how they found others in the military with similar beliefs.

"Group members and unaffiliated DEs [domestic extremists] use tattoos as a means of communicating membership and commitment to cause and belief," the report states."Interpreting the meanings and significance of tattoos is time consuming. ... Nonetheless, this interpretation is critical.

A major challenge is identifying White supremacist tattoos and symbols on clothing. They range from the common to the obscure: swastikas, numbers, phrases and crosses can all represent different ideas and aspects of a supremacist ideology.
