Last year, a Marine with ties to a hate group was dumped by the Marine Corps. He had been next to invisible as a radical until some deep digging by NCIS found the online trail he had created.<\/p>\n

From the article: Marine Lance Cpl.\u00a0Vasillios G. Pistolis<\/a>\u00a0ultimately was booted from Corps mid-summer 2018 for his\u00a0ties to a hate group<\/a>. But, his ability to enlist in the Corps highlights a challenge to the military recruiters armed with few tools from records checks to interviews to keep supremacists out of the ranks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An investigation into his hate group ties by Naval Criminal Investigative Service \u2014 obtained by Marine Corps Times through a government records request \u2014 reads like a psychological evaluation into extremist thought and behavior, detailing his own path to radicalization and views on various hate groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In June 2018, Pistolis was sentenced before a military court to 28 days confinement, reduction in rank to E-1 and forfeiture of two-thirds pay for one month. He was booted from the Marine Corps in July 2018. – article<\/p>\n

The full article is worth the time it takes to read it. He was essentially rootless, looking for a common chord with other people when he enlisted, and drifted from Antifa to neo-Nazism over time.<\/p>\n
