Hate Groups Are Infiltrating the Military
Saturday, July 08, 2006
Neo-Nazis find a perfect training ground.
A decade after the Pentagon declared a zero-tolerance policy for racist hate groups, recruiting shortfalls caused by the war in Iraq have allowed "large numbers of neo-Nazis and skinhead extremists" to infiltrate the military, according to a watchdog organization.Just a little mistake or oversight? Not in the mind of a former Special Forces officer.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks racist and right-wing militia groups, estimated that the numbers could run into the thousands, citing interviews with Defense Department investigators and reports and postings on racist Web sites and magazines.
As a professional soldier, my goal is to fill the ranks of the United States Army with skinheads. As street brawlers, you will be useless in the coming race war. As trained infantrymen, you will join the ranks of the Aryan warrior brotherhood.A new breed of U.S. soldier? One that certain members of W's regime have been hoping for? Can this explain some of the atrocities that have been taking place in Iraq? A total disregard for anyone different from oneself - skin color, culture, religion...-part of the new basic training?
