This article is deeply unserious bullshit. From TFA: "At about the same time, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin testified before Congress, promising to root from the armed forces supposed cadres of white supremacists driven by “white rage.” Yet neither he nor Gen. Milley ever supplied data or evidence that such cells or movements exist in the U.S. military. That the Pentagon should foster such ungrounded suspicions of white males—one of its most important sources of recruits—is as if the British war ministers had questioned whether there were too many sexist British Gurkhas in the ranks, or Russian generals had wondered whether there were Cossacks that seemed clannish, or the Indian government had fixated on Sikh recruits as religious chauvinists. Implying that white males collectively are intrinsically suspect of improper behavior seems a near-suicidal U.S. Army policy, given that the group died at a rate double its percentages in the general population in both Afghanistan and Iraq." OK, so the brass didn't cite their sources. This doesn't mean such don't exist, and likewise recognizing the very real problem of fascist/far-right white supremacists in the military is not the same thing as "Implying that white males are intrinsically suspect". Here's a link that indicates the military has a real problem with fascist infiltration, from the horse's mouth, as it were: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2021/01/14/the-military-knows-it-has-a-problem-with-domestic-extremists-white-supremacists/ https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2021/01/14/... "Though the services do background checks for extremist views and will drop recruiting prospects when they find evidence of it, the armed forces has a particular challenge when it comes to extremist groups. In short, there are aspects of military service “that are of appeal to these groups,” the official said. “We know that some groups actively attempt to recruit our personnel into their cause, or actually encourage their members to join the military for [the] purpose of acquiring skills and experience,” the official added."
