The Long View

For two decades, the Southern Poverty Law Center has been warning the Pentagon about the presence of military personnal associated with organized hate groups enlisted in the services. Apparently the Pentagon is more concerned about presence of gay and lesbian people in the service, however, since the FBI reports that the neo-Nazi presence has grown.

As the SPLC observes: “While the military has discharged more than 12,500 service members because of their alleged homosexuality since 1994, it has refused to adopt a true ‘zero tolerance’ policy when it comes to extremists in the military.”
