Federal officials need to find new ways to study and prevent extremism among veterans before the problem becomes widespread, according to a new report released by Democratic lawmakers on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee on Thursday.
“Acknowledging the unfortunate reality that violent extremism is a small but growing threat among the U.S. veteran population does not impugn all veterans,” the report states. “Rather, ignoring the threat of veteran-involved violent extremism does a disservice to those who continue to support and defend the Constitution … following their military service.”

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Thanks for the Share of the Day. I agree. I also believe those Veterans who no longer honor their oath should rethink their position. Our democracy & Constitution is being attacked.

It's funny in a sick way the many MAGA Maniac Veterans in RP who bought into the absolute Trump lies and espoused their opinions with the same lack of decorum of Trump. They are caustic and, in your face, as they defend and promulgate a reality based on lies and hate. They don't know what the truth is, but they will be vociferous and vitriolic. For example, the f@cking Trumpers defend Trump's pandemic response. It's impossible to stomach their stupidity. They helped give power to a man who cared nothing about Americans dying due to his inactions. He also killed the economy and tried to steal the election. What f@cking in your face fools.
