As part of the DoD’s purge of “extremism”, a preliminary report has come out. Jeff LPH 3 sends this Military Times article<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Even before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Congress ordered the Defense Department to do a better job reporting and tracking extremist behavior among troops. The first public release of available statistics shows hundreds of investigations carried out in the first nine months of the year, according to a DoD inspector general report published Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Among them were dozens of racially-motivated, anti-government or \u201cdomestic violence\u201d allegations across the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, resulting in 10 non-judicial punishments, one court martial, 31 administrative actions and 18 unspecified punishments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nobody wants to serve with a racist, a gang member, or some violent extremist. For context, statistically speaking, of the 1.3 million troops on active duty and the nearly 700,000 reserve and National Guard, those 59 incidents amount to 0.002% of the force.<\/p>\n

After it became clear that a disproportionate number of Jan. 6 Capitol rioters were either currently serving or former members of the military, DoD struggled to provide any numbers on extremist activity because there were no tracking mechanisms in place.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the FBI declined to provide data on service members it had investigated.<\/p>\n

As part of its report, DoD IG asked for this data.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Military Departments reported issues with compiling and validating their data and, in some cases, the reported numbers were conflicting,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n

But what they were able to find is illuminating. The Army reported 33 allegations of \u201cracially motivated violent extremism,\u201d while the Navy had 30, the Marine Corps had seven and the Air Force reported none.<\/p>\n

In the anti-government\/anti-authority category, there were 34 Army reports, 14 Navy reports, 25 Marine Corps reports and none from the Air Force.<\/p>\n

The Air Force, instead, wrapped all of its violent extremism cases ? 102 ? into a category dubbed \u201cdomestic violence extremism participation,\u201d according to a DoD IG spokeswoman, which is not clearly defined.<\/p>\n

The Air Force did not immediately respond to a request to define the term.<\/p>\n

The Air Force was also the only service to report \u201ctrespassing at the U.S. Capitol,\u201d of which they had 10 allegations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently when the report is finalized it will include an actual definition of what “extremism” is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
