https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/soldier-dismissed-army-allegedly-said-enlisted-become-proficient-killi-rcna46900 Wonder how many more there are? Looks like he was actually already in the Airborne Corps. Looks like he was only found out because of other problems.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/08/us-military-killian-ryan-racism-social-media Bet he would not have been discovered without the DWIs. |
| I thought it was an acknowledged problem that there were a ton of white supremacists in the military? |
The only way they caught this guy was his DWI and talking to his father who is in prison. He said on his secret clearance applications he had not talk to his father in 10 years but was in frequency contact. Without the DWI and lying on his application he would have not have been discovered and not removed for the Airborne unit. |
| Other military officers surely knew of his character but did nothing about it. |
"Other?" This guy was not an officer. Stop talking about things you have no clue about. |
Oh there are a whole lot of others both enlisted and officers. Look at West Point. Portraits of Robert E Lee in is confederate uniform and KKK images carved in to inlaid stones above doors. If it is celebrated openly at West Point… |

It's not just the military. This article on a leaked Oath Keeper membership roster caught my eye yesterday. The leak showed that these types of folks are also "law enforcement officers and first responders, veterans and military members, elected officials and government employees, religious and business leaders, teachers and others."
https://patch.com/virginia/arlington-va/oath-keepers-leaked-membership-roster-shows-1-091-virginia-members VIRGINIA — Members of the Oath Keepers militia group, one of the extremist groups federal prosecutors say figured prominently in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, include people in prominent positions in Virginia, according to leaked membership data. The data, collected by the Distributed Denial of Secrets and presented Tuesday in a report by the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism, shows many of the 38,000 members are law enforcement officers and first responders, veterans and military members, elected officials and government employees, religious and business leaders, teachers and others. |
Surely he was supervised by officers. |
Of course, but PP's use/placement of the word "others" indicates that she was calling THIS guy an officer. Like many we have seen on DCUM, she just wants to throw random military words/terms around ("enlist" "dishonorable discharge" etc.) with ignorance--using them in incorrect ways. |
Seems like you just want to deflect from the real issue. The military is filled with these people, they are not loyal to the constitution, the country, the service or other who serve. Sound like you are one of them. |
The military is more diverse than the general population and has LONG had higher rates of interracial marriage than the general population. It doesnt really follow that the military is "full" of white supremacists. In fact, one of the reasons that the military has been an attractive career for educated black people is because it is more egalitarian and less discriminatory than the civilian world. |
You are accusing me of not being "loyal to the constitution" because I criticized the misuse of military words/terms? |
|
Great, and we were paying this guy's salary. And the guns he was trained on.
One clue to this whole cancer is when first responders were refusing to get COVID shots. Come on, they respond to old people who are very sick, and they think it is fine to go into homes unvaccinated. Trump dolts. (So the racism is to be expected....) |
