Do you believe that "Radicalized Military Vets" are a true threat to the Nation?
My own belief is that, because Veterans, Evangelical Christians, conservative Catholics, and mothers disagreeing with school boards tend to not vote the way that the staff of the Daily Beast would like, then they should be rounded up like the Gypsies and Jews in Germany in 1939 (too much of a threat to the New Order).
It seems that this article would classify George Washington as a "Radicalized Military Vet".
So, how do you see it?

Be sure to read far enough to note the names of the military heroes who routed the protestors.
IF, and I seriously doubt it, you have qualifiable facts or quantifiable data then spell it out. But The use of name calling, and personal attacks weakens rather than strengthens your position.
We have individuals that were influenced to participate in J6 that were military veterans or currently in uniform. I would suggest that many of them would not have gone that way on most days. Some who were accused were found not guilty and some were found guilty, some with lesser charges and some for insurrection. Regardless of your view of J6 being good or bad, it was not a day that I think historians will view positively, but that is just MHO. I could be completely wrong.
The real reason I am writing this post is to share with those who are interested that there is a site I used to evaluate media outlets. It is MediaBiasFactCheck.com. Some of the media outlets will be just the opposite of what you might think would be true, and that is true on both the Left and Right. It will tell you a lot of things about their reporting, especially accuracy. I use it to help me determine who seems to be reporting accurately and who may not be accurate, or so biased that accuracy is secondary to the agenda, which we hear so much about.
I hope those who are interested will find this site to be of value. It has been for me, a person who has little to no interest in political parties, although I once did. I think I stopped having interest when I started paying close attention to what they did versus what they said. Save a few, very high profile subjects, I found they were not that much different on either side when it was all said and done. I clearly realize that many will disagree with that view. I respect every person's view, regardless of whether I can agree with it or not.
Nearly 1 In 5 Defendants In Capitol Riot Cases Served In The Military
Amid rising concern over domestic extremism, an NPR analysis found military veterans were overrepresented in those charged in the attack on the U.S. Capitol when compared to the general population.
Of course, you couldn't even get a story that had more recent information and used one from January 2021 instead of later. Understand you want to stick with left-leaning sources, so here's the article from CBS in December of 2021 (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol-riot-january-6-military-ties/) discussing how 80 of the 700 had military background (that's at least closer to the updated DOJ figures of 950 as of Jan 2023) - that's 8.5% (reminder the census says the vet population is about 7%).
But thinking for yourself and looking deeper into information instead of believing what media shovels down your throat is hard to do or might disrupt your partisan beliefs. Gasp! Can't do that.
Ok let's look at other stats - Chicago police arrest stats show that 70% of the BLM rioters that were arrested for looting, arson, and violence between 29 and 31 May were Black.
By you and Gomez's reasoning ("obviously" and his agreement with you), then Blacks are more predisposed to violence. Personally I think that's a racist view, but hey, the Left can believe whatever idiotic thing they want.
