Are returning veterans terrorist threats?

We have raised a generation of wimps who don't have a clue about what it takes to defend freedom

I think the administration is blind to the facts and should be transparent amongst the First Amendment (Freedom of Speech)

Sir, that's a 2009 report. I doubt it's still valid.

No, the government is trying to marginalize veterans by making us threats to society

LTC (Join to see) - Colonel; Two further (really minor) points.

[1] That isn't what the report says.

and

[2] That isn't what Ms. Napolitano said.

I've recently come to realist Washington Times isn't a very unbiased or reliable new organization. The problem is that it sounds like it is. It takes two very reputable companies (New York Times and Washington Post) and combines the names to play on your perception that it is a very good, robustly researching, news organization.

That said, no I don't think returning vets are any more of a threat than the average American citizen. There will be a random bad apple every now and then but by no means in any higher percentage than the normal populace, and I would argue probably significantly lower. What could be used to counter my point is that a veteran's training could enable them to be more effective. That probably offsets the higher amount of patriotism among veterans to make it about equal and NOT an issue that should be singled out.

ASk me in 452 days and I will give what I think of this and his stuff that he has done as not to speak ill of the President!

I would be honored to be listed among terrorist,for my unqualified opposition to abortion. My fear would be; to be listed among the Government officials who are in danger of committing Treason.

This is the view from the left and POTUS is a creature of the left. Where is the surprise?

The story posted is quite hot off the presses in 2009, only about six years ago. It seems quite naïve to think that there is no way that military veterans can become involved in organizations and causes which utilize propaganda. In fact if you look at Hitler’s rise it was fueled by disenfranchised military veterans who were attracted to his nationalist rhetoric. I do not believe that their droves of military veterans running off to join right-wing militias who are threatening the federal government, however is the recent attack in Tennessee shows us it only takes one maliciously motivated individual, and is not ridiculous to think that that individual could be a veteran.

The second largest terrorist attack in US history was the Oklahoma city federal building bombing by Timothy McVeigh a veteran of the United States Army, Eric Rudolph the Olympic Park bomber was a US veteran, Wade Michael Page the Sikh temple shooter was US veteran, Frazier Glenn Miller the Kentucky Jewish shooter was a veteran, and Chris Dorner was a veteran. I also wonder how many military veterans were at the Cliven Bundy standoff? I know I saw a great many on the news.
