We owe the men and women of the Department of Defense an environment free of extremist activities, and we owe our country a military that reflects the founding values of our democracy.

Rand survey finds level of extremism among veterans same as public<\/h3>\n

By Nikki Wentling and Leo Shane III<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new survey of about 1,000 veterans found no evidence that the population harbors more extreme beliefs than the rest of the American public \u2014 though its authors acknowledged that the results are limited by how many people were willing to be honest about their extremist stances. And it did show that about a third of veterans surveyed believe in the \u201cGreat Replacement\u201d conspiracy theory \u2013 that people of color are being allowed to enter the U.S. to upend the white majority.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If there’s another explanation I’m not aware of it. But what’s this?<\/p>\n

The survey by the nonpartisan think tank asked whether respondents supported the following: white supremacy, black nationalism, the neo-Nazi Proud Boys, or Antifa, a far-left, anti-fascist group. While just 1% of participants said they supported white supremacists, Antifa saw the most support, at 5.5%.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
