Prevent Terrorists from Joining US Military!

Huh? Every American terrorist's dream is to get their hands on US material and training so they too can blow up buildings in Oklahoma, shoot Mexicans on the border, or where ever. It's true and the US Military needs to be hypersensitive to inadvertantly adding to our risk of homegrown terror.

SPLC Urges Congress to Investigate Extremism in the Military

New Saxon profileIn a letter to committee chairmen with oversight over homeland security and the armed services, the SPLC said it recently found dozens of personal profiles on a neo-Nazi website where individuals listed "military" as their occupation — the latest evidence of extremist infiltration gathered by the SPLC. It also cites FBI and Department of Homeland Security reports supporting the SPLC's concerns.

"Evidence continues to mount that current Pentagon policies are inadequate to prevent racial extremists from joining and serving in the armed forces," SPLC founder Morris Dees wrote. He added, "Because the presence of extremists in the armed forces is a serious threat to the safety of the American public, we believe Congressional action is warranted."
