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.
There are 1,091 Oath Keepers members in Virginia, according to the report. Among them are:
Elected officials: 1
Law enforcement: 6
Military: 15
First responders: 3
Total in these four professions: 25
Break that down to remove the 1 elected official, and there are a total of 24 out of 1,091 Oath Keepers who are in law enforcement, military, and first responders, around 2%. What are the professions of the other 98%?
Whenever people start accusing and attacking the military for being white supremist and extremists, there's never any proof. It's like when there are stories that white Christians are a national terrorist threat to the U.S. There's never any proof.
We don’t need any proof, it’s common knowledge. Do you need proof that’s it’s daylight at 11am? Do you need proof the ground is wet if it’s raining? Do you need proof trump is a Russian asset? No. There are some things that everyone just knows. No proof is needed.

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....)

470 ÷ 38000 = 0.012368421052632 = 1.2368421052632%
1%

Anonymous wrote:A former soldier who is federally charged with lying in his application for a security clearance said he enlisted in the Army so he’d be “more proficient in killing” Black people, prosecutors allege.
Killian M. Ryan, who was stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, held the rank of specialist and served in the Army until Aug. 26, a spokesperson with the XVIII Airborne Corps said in a statement Thursday.
Ryan “was separated from the Army for serious misconduct,” the statement said.
An affidavit filed Aug. 25 in U.S. District Court for Eastern North Carolina alleges that Ryan had online ties to people whose social media accounts were “associated with racially motivated extremism.”
The affidavit, written by a Fayetteville police officer on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, also alleges that Ryan posted his motivation for joining the Army on an Instagram account. "I serve for combat experience so I'm more proficient in killing n------," he is alleged to have said. Ryan also had five Instagram accounts in which he communicated with extremists who were motivated by racial animus, the affidavit said.

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.
A former paratrooper who allegedly enlisted in the army to become more proficient at killing Black people was given top security clearance despite ties to white supremacist organizations and Nazi ideology.
Killian Ryan was arrested on 26 August and charged with making a false statement on his army application for the secret security clearance, and then discharged on the same day for multiple drink-driving violations.

Bet he would not have been discovered without the DWIs.

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,
And all of them out to sea.

(I say this as someone who has worked for DoD for decades.)
The USAF is infested with evangelical nativists.

"Other?" This guy was not an officer.
Stop talking about things you have no clue about.
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.
You are accusing me of not being "loyal to the constitution" because I criticized the misuse of military words/terms?
I think you are part of the problem. You attack posters concerned about white nationalists in a highly selective unit because of their use of terminology. It appears you wish to shut down any talk of the problem. So why should I not think you are part of the same problem? Address the problem. If you are so knowledgeable of the Army talk about how an openly white supremacist was able to make it through basic, jump school and 11B MOS AIT, get promoted to specialist in an airborne unit. He was most likely in that unit for over a year and was not flagged but promoted.
"The problem" is people asserting their opinion into things without knowing a thing about it--and stating it as fact, when it is flat out false. Showing your ignorance, and unwillingness to even be corrected/LEARN the correct way, demonstrates that absolutely everything you say should be dismissed and ignored because it is garbage.
By stating false information as "fact' YOU are "the problem."
