    An annual Pentagon report on extremism within the ranks reveals that 78 service members were suspected of advocating for the overthrow of the U.S. government and another 44 were suspected of engaging or supporting terrorism.

    I wonder how many they don’t know about?

        How about a few that we do know about? Like Atomwaffen Division’s Brandon Clint Russell, who was trying to build a dirty bomb with his friends who he killed. Or, like… Timothy McVeigh? There’s a long history of extemism in the US military and it goes from bad to catastrophic.

        Given the ones we do know about, the ones don’t are even more frightening.
