By Allowing White Racists in the Military, We’re Training Domestic Terrorists

by New American Media (reposted)
White supremacists believe that the white race is superior to all others and have used their beliefs to discriminate against those that didn’t share their same ethnic or religious backgrounds. The U.S. government, realizing that such ideologies threaten the health of our country, has spoken out against such groups. In fact, 10 years ago, the Department of Defense made it clear that anyone subscribing to extreme separatist beliefs was not welcome in the U.S. military.
But, with wars waging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the military is spread thin and desperate to recruit new soldiers. So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to overlook the growing number of white supremacists that have joined the military in the last few years. As long as they are willing to train hard and fight for their country, these new recruits are accepted into the armed forces.

Unfortunately, these newly-minted soldiers aren’t really in the military to defend the U.S. They are actually, in their minds, training for the race wars that they believe will inevitably take place. These future domestic terrorists are learning much of their trade at the expense of taxpayers, many of whom they will eventually rise up against.

According to a study recently released by the Southern Poverty Law Center, extremists enter the military purposefully -- they want to learn combat techniques and want access to weapons, all with the ultimate goal of initiating race wars here in the U.S. Considering the military the perfect training ground, white supremacy groups encourage their members to enlist.
