and calls for changes to how the department screens recruits for possible ties to domestic extremism.

The soldier replied: “I was 100% open about everything with the friends I made at training. They know about it all. They love me too cause I’m a funny guy.”The exchange appeared in an extremist “Iron March” online forum in 2016, and it was part of a database that the Ars Technica news site published in 2019. A screen shot from the chat appears in the Pentagon report to Congress that examines efforts to prevent white supremacists from joining the military.

“Access to service members with combat training and technical weapons expertise can also increase both the probability of success and the potency of planned violent attacks,” it said. In another chat on the extremist Iron March forum, one user who calls himself an infantryman, described how fellow white nationalists find each other through fascist symbols, the report says.

mitchellreports Get them out NOW!

sharonvt75 Talk about defunding . . .

All types of gangs have been inside the military for years, not just white. Its free training for them. It’s gonna be extremely hard to weed them out.

All military men is suppose to defend the US government not attack it just because of false information by crazy orange and his enablers

This investigation has actually been going on since at least the late 80s...I don't know why their giving the Trump Administration any credit.

Misleading headlines Trump Administration had nothing to do with Pentagon investigation. Congress ordered it the work was probably done by Pentagon career people although it doesn't say in the article. Pentagon doesn't search social media but corporations do wake up pentagon

An embarrassing typo, I'm sure you mean... Domestic Terrorism

I mean its kinda hard to screen new troops when they get literally radicalized when they elisted by other troops who they look up to or report to. This is THE PROBLEM infested in all the military

Say you’re a white supremacist without saying you’re a terrorist ✍️ ✍️🇺🇸 ✍️✝️✍️

There are top brass traitor's. What do you expect?

They need to be removed immediately and dishonorably discharged. New recruits need to be vetted like never before because this cannot happen anymore!

its sad NBC has to play the race card to get likes. in this report theres an example of ONE guy who was in the reserve national guard, who told someone who he was talking online with that he was open about being a supremacist. ONE

Dishonorable discharge for any military member supporting treason. Dont trust them to defend my country and and their fellow personnel overseas and I sure as fuck dont trust them to keep us safe here at home. Not after 1/6/21.

👀

ReparationsOver If racist white supremacists were barred from the military—there wouldn’t be much of a military left. The military is the enforcement arm of white supremacist terrorism on a global scale.

BLM рулит....

Y'all just don't fucking stop do you? Did you know the military also has BLM members and antifa members? Who would have thought. Y'all keep fucking poking the bear and it's going to become personal real quick. Because his supporters are tired of fucking around with you too.

Drafted

I could have told the Pentagon that 10 year's ago and I wouldn't have charged them a thing.

Wow.. how prescient

Military & police ... same same.

Reparations over everything

White,black,ms13,Hispanic every race has it ..only wanting to be with there own..not saying it right ..

The report was sent to Congress last October, but was never made public until now.

White supremacists 'seek affiliation' with law enforcement to further their goals, internal FBI report warnsBased on investigations between 2016 and 2020, agents and analysts with the FBI's division in San Antonio concluded that white supremacists and other right-wing extremists would 'very likely seek affiliation with military and law enforcement entities in furtherance of' their ideologies, according to a confidential intelligence assessment issued late last month. The document, obtained by ABC News, was distributed to law enforcement agencies both in Texas and elsewhere in the country. It focuses on extremists inspired by the white-supremacist publication 'Siege,' which served as motivation for the neo-Nazi group known as 'Atomwaffen Division,' among others. Duh! That makes sense. This is why as police and other law enforcement position they can kill us and get away with it. White people are brutal. Protected by the law. So then, legal modern day lynching under the guise of law enforcement.
