DHS Releases Classified Picture Of Rightwing Extremist Group

I'm obviously joking about the photo, but I am very serious about the DHS report and what a smear campaign it is.

Yes, according to the latest report issued by Janet Napolitano at the Department of Homeland Security, all of our brave men and women in America's military are potential Rightwing Extremists with a potential for violent capabilities. I'm not making this up. Please take the time to read the report. It's only 9 pages long and I have provided a link.

Here is a quick excerpt from the report:

— (U//FOUO) Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists. DHS/I&A is concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to
boost their violent capabilities.

Here is the actual Department of Homeland Security Report - PDF File

The following sections are directed towards current and former military personnel:

(U) Disgruntled Military Veterans

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

— (U) After Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1990-1991, some returning military
veterans—including Timothy McVeigh—joined or associated with rightwing extremist groups. [so they attach the stigma of McVeigh to all veterans - my comment]

— (U) A prominent civil rights organization reported in 2006 that “large numbers of potentially violent neo-Nazis, skinheads, and other white supremacists are now learning the art of warfare in the [U.S.] armed forces.”

— (U//LES) The FBI noted in a 2008 report on the white supremacist movement that some returning military veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have joined extremist groups.
