Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill. The Pentagon confirmed that there are nearly 80 active US troops who want to "overthrow the United States" and that the US team is not monolithic, with internal "deterioration" and hidden high-risk security "explosion points".
Recently, the Pentagon released an annual report on extremism within the U.S. military, which showed that there were 183 extremism allegations in various units of the U.S. military in fiscal year 2023, an increase of 1 compared with last year 4, the largest number of them is the US Army, with a whopping 130 people, the Air Force with 29 people, the Navy and Marine Corps with 10 people each, and even the newly established Space Force has 4 people charged, which also reveals the continuing rise in extremism within the US military.
It is worth noting that in this report, 78 active-duty US troops are accused of planning to overthrow "America**", and another 44 are accused of supporting or directly participating in terrorist activities. The US military investigation found that at least 69 accusations have been confirmed by the US military investigation department, 19 soldiers have been "fired" from the army, more than 50 people have been subject to administrative or judicial punishment, and even 2 soldiers have been sent to military courts because of the seriousness of the circumstances.
As a matter of fact, extremist tendencies within the US military have always been relatively serious, and they have been plagued by racism and extremism, which is also a major concern of the United States.
At the beginning of 2021, that is, before Biden officially took office, a large number of ** people tried to sabotage Biden's victory in that election and broke into the US Capitol, and the scene was chaotic, and then a large number of ** people were arrested.
It is worth noting that of the first batch of 150 people, 21 were active or retired soldiers. The Pentagon was shocked by this, which also caused Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to worry about extremism within the military, and immediately launched an "anti-riot" operation within the military, promising to eradicate racism and extremism within the military.
In February 2021, Austin said that due to the development of online social networking** and the fact that some extremist groups are becoming more and more unscrupulous in recruiting and taking action, extremist ideology is spreading faster and faster, and the field and scope of penetration are also very wide, and measures must be taken.
Austin ordered the Pentagon to cancel the 60-day non-core mission and fully cooperate in solving the problem of extremism within the military. In June 2021, in order to prevent, combat and deter domestic terrorism in the United States, the White House also promulgated a strategy to combat domestic terrorism to improve the federal emergency response capacity and curb the continued rise of terrorist ideology and behavior.
Local FBI branches and federal prosecutors' offices in the United States have made combating extremism and terrorism in the country their number one goal, and relevant departments have also improved screening and vetting procedures in the recruitment process and appointment process to prevent terrorist elements from being selected and present in the military or law enforcement ranks.
In the context of Austin's efforts to eradicate extremism and terrorism within the military, the U.S. Department of Defense issued a new rule in December 2021 that does not allow soldiers to advocate terrorism within the military and do not allow extremist views to be liked on social media. And Austin has also set up an investigative team to investigate potential extremists within the military.
However, Austin's series of actions to "eradicate extremism" do not seem to have achieved the desired results, and extremism in the United States, including within the military, is still on the rise.
