The Battle For Hearts & Minds Rages On!
Hate Groups Are Infiltrating the Military, Group Asserts
"We've got Aryan Nations graffiti in Baghdad," the group quoted a Defense Department investigator as saying in a report to be posted today on its Web site, www.splcenter.org. "That's a problem."
A Defense Department spokeswoman said officials there could not comment on the report because they had not yet seen it.
The center called on Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to appoint a task force to study the problem, declare a new zero tolerance policy and strictly enforce it.
The report said that neo-Nazi groups like the National Alliance, whose founder, William Pierce, wrote "The Turner Diaries," the novel that was the inspiration and blueprint for Timothy J. McVeigh's bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, sought to enroll followers in the Army to get training for a race war.
The groups are being abetted, the report said, by pressure on recruiters, particularly for the Army, to meet quotas that are more difficult to reach because of the growing unpopularity of the war in Iraq."
Well, that's the way to win over the people of Iraq with our cultural sensitivity! Send over our most closed minded, racist, bigoted, violent extremists. And what about the other soldiers? The reasonable ones who are there to try and build trust with the Iraqis and rebuild their country so they can come home. Embedded in their ranks is a rogue element whose violence and bigotry will incite more insurgent violence and undermine all that they're trying to accomplish! And once the war is over we have a batch of soldiers returning who follow extreme racist dogma, have millitary training, and follow the doctorines of Timothy McVeigh! Just when you think it can't get any worse.....
