So, this is from the Daily Beast, and it infers that military veterans must be monitored. It brings up "the present and historical ties between American hate groups and armed servicemen and women....".

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?

Here is the full article:

What is an extremist? When you consider polls show only 30-35% of the population feel our country is on the correct course, that means 65-70% are not content with our current state of affairs. I would wager veteran philosophies follow the same pattern. The 30-35% and elitists look down on the gross percentage as ignorant, misguided, or terrorists because they don't share their opinion on how things should be. The pendulum will swing.

I believe what this article points out.

"Charlie Sadoff’s documentary details how a collection of anti-government white-nationalist movements have increasingly gained traction inside our borders, often by strategically recruiting those committed to protecting the nation: law enforcement and military service members."

MSG Stan Hutchison - Gee, if there was some way you could actually look something up on the internet? There are a bunch of articles like this from sources spanning the far left to the far right. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/blm-chapters-sue-organization-head-over-alleged-10-million-theft/

Headline:
18 Chicago Cops Injured After BLM Rioters Pelt Them With Projectiles

"Mayor Lori Lightfoot put out a statement saying “...a portion of the protesters turned violent. A number of individuals came with frozen water bottles, rocks, bottles, cans and other gear to throw at officers. People in the crowd also threw fireworks and other incendiary devices at police, causing injury in several cases."

The real threat is not vets. The real threat is coming across our borders by the millions. They are from over 100 different countries, and they are all sanctioned by the current administration. That is my number one worry, and the powers that be refuse to stem the flow. All I can say is stay alert, avoid large gatherings and be prepared for when the party starts. Since when did China start letting everybody and their cousins leave Communist China just willy-nilly? The majority are military age. Something is very fishy there.

Good point. Almost daily, we are seeing reports of persons being assaulted or killed by persons who have illegally come into this country, and yet the mainstream media seems to see no urgency in raising the alarm.

MSG Lonnie Averkamp - `A division size group has come across the border in the three and a half years Biden has been in office. I hope our intel agencies are watching them as closely as the J6 Patriots.

When you enlist in the military, you swear an oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. For most of us veterans, that oath remains with us for the rest of our life. So, unless you define "radicalized" as "devoted to the Constitution," my answer is NO!

News and various groups will label any and everything they hate, on both sides. If you stand up for what you believe you are radical. The left is all about the cause and the popular talking point. If they believe it will bring in votes they will jump in with both feet. The far right is the same way. There are some of our brothers and sisters who will and have joined the radical sides they believe in. Military due to our training are looked at as a threat and easy mark for those who wish to use that against all of us. Funny how veterans are the first to be marked and for the most part are the ones who for the most part stay to ourselves until poked. Where as the real radicals are the paid rioters and antagonists who are out looking to stir up trouble, many of which are in the government.

No. Of course not. And the numbers prove the assumption wrong. Increasingly, the perpetrators tend to be transgender/gay or far-left.

Oh absolutely! Just look at those "Veterans, Evangelical Christians, conservative Catholics, and mothers disagreeing with school boards," denying Jews entry into universities, burning American flags, calling for the annihilation of Israel, replacing the American flag with Palestinian flags, shutting down traffic, etc.

And we all remember the summer 2020. The summer of "mostly peaceful" protests?

If they try to say I’m an extremist and send feds to talk to me I’ll sue them for slander. I will put a camera in the federal agents face as well berating them and will make the video go viral. At my job working security I would get the third degree and I would get fired. If they accuse me they better be right because I will bring the full wrath of the courts and public opinion.
