Just How Many ‘Extremists’ Have Infiltrated the US Military? The Media Doesn’t Want You to Know:
President Joe Biden loves to warn the country about the threat of white supremacy, and his own administration has launched a soft inqusition into the most patriotic members of society, the men and women who volunteer to put their lives on the line for the rest of us.
Nearly three years into the Biden administration, the Department of Defense belatedly released the results of its in-depth review of domestic violent extremism in the military, and most Americans probably have no idea.
If the report had revealed even one secret Klansman, the legacy media would have trumpeted the results. Instead, there have been crickets.
Sure, The Washington Free Beacon, National Review, and The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board noted the results, but most legacy media outlets have uttered nary a peep about them. Even USA Today, which first published the report, largely ignored the report’s topline conclusion.
Why? The Institute for Defense Analyses, the nonprofit the DOD tapped to perform the review, finds “no evidence that the number of violent extremists in the military is disproportionate to the number of violent extremists in the United States as a whole.”
This contradicts the alarmist narrative about those evil conservatives who join the military to carry out an insurrection. --->READ MORE HERE

Report Finds Biden Admin's Concerns of 'Extremism' in Military Are Unfounded:
A report the Department of Defense commissioned to study extremism in the United States military found that there is little evidence it's a disproportionate problem among service members, findings that throw cold water on Biden administration officials' claims of significant radicalism within the military.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin commissioned the report, which the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) released last month, in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot after it was reported that a number of participants had military records. The institute conducted its research from June 2021 through June 2022.
"IDA’s review found no evidence that the number of violent extremists in the military is disproportionate to the number of violent extremists in the United States as a whole," the institute wrote in the report's executive summary, "although there is some indication that the rate of participation by former service members is slightly higher and may be growing. IDA also found no evidence of violent extremist behavior by DOD civilians."
Though the report said that even a small number of violent extremists with military training or connections could pose a threat to the country, it said that service members were confused about what constitutes prohibited extremist activities. This confusion poses the potential for division and polarization within the military, according to the report, which could pose "a greater risk than the radicalization of a few service members." --->READ MORE HERE
