The Obama administration seems to think that returning Vets that disagree with his policies are terrorists. What do you think?

We less of a threat than career politicians who have nearly wrecked our nation

LTC (Join to see) I remember when this came out. I would like to see an updated threat assessment since Fort Hood. This administration seems to want to look anywhere but the actual threat profile.

LTC (Join to see) - Colonel; Are ALL returning veterans terrorist threats? - NO!
Could SOME returning veterans be terrorist threats? - YES.
Are ALL Muslims terrorist threats? - NO!
Could SOME Muslims be terrorist threats? - YES.
Should the government ignore the fact that SOME __[fill in the blank]__ could be terrorist threats just because not all __[fill in the blank]__ are terrorist threats? - __[fill in the blank]__

He forgets to include that the was a left wing terror threat report at the same time, mostly PETA and environmental groups. I have both reports

LTC Bink Romanick - Colonel; I'd like to see the comparative statistics for the numbers of "left wing domestic terrorists", "right wing domestic terrorists", "left wing foreign terrorists, and "right wing foreign terrorists" who were actually convicted (at trial) for ACTUAL terrorist activities since the WTC/Pentagon mass murders.
[PLEASE NOTE:- Those statistics would have to exclude the people who were picked up as a part of a "counter-terrorism operation" and then convicted of things like overstaying visas or illegally entering the country or petty larceny or any other NON-terrorist related offence but NOT of offences directly related to terrorism.]

COL Ted Mc The studies I have from DHS didn't include any number and the LW terror groups were PETA and environmental. No real hard data on either report. The RW talk machine made a big deal of it. To my mind it was nothing.
I had a soldier once when killed a priest with a hammer and one who beat his wife to death. All aren't pristine or sacred cows because they're veterans. "Men who live in barracks don't become plaster saints" Kipling.

LTC Bink Romanick - Colonel; I didn't say that the statistics existed, only that I would like to see them.
Like the statistics on how children turn out after being placed in the custody of Child Protection Services, I suspect that they simply aren't collected.

Perhaps the greater question is this: Who is the more significant threat...those who have sworn to and placed their lives in peril towards the defense of the Constitution...or those possessing the power, influence and ideology to subvert it and disregard its legal basis for their own profit?

It is a continually sad state of affairs when our elected and appointed officials fear that the potential threat of wartime veterans meets or exceeds real world external threats.

A quick once over of a lot of threads relating to Fox News, the Oath Keepers, the President, ChemTrails, Transgenders, the Confederate Flag, Jade Helm and other topics make me think it's a solid "maybe". We do seem to have a lot of right wing extremists espousing a great deal of violence...

This same administration would probably call the Founding Fathers domestic terrorists.

They have... but since the word terrorist has been removed from this administration's lexicon, they use the word extremist.
"In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples."

Why does that not surprise me?
I wanted to down vote your response to show my displeasure with our government, but I didn't want you to lose the cool points, so instead I gave you 30 cool points! :)

So a study is done and a report is issued, and it becomes the administrations fault? Wouldn't a better question be "Do you agree with the report?"
All I see is a click-bait headline, biased reporting, and a series of logical fallacies.
