Extremists in the Military

Knowing that these people are being given training in urban warfare should be highly disturbing to everyone.

What the hell are the Pentagion brass thinking?

SPLCenter.org: Extremists in the Military:

A Department of Defense investigator who went public with allegations of extremists and gang members being tolerated in the armed forces has left the military. Scott Barfield resigned Aug. 15 from his position at Fort Lewis, near Tacoma, Wash., after being reprimanded for violating regulations on interactions with the media.

Barfield went on the record with the Intelligence Report regarding his investigations of extremists in the U.S. armed forces out of frustration at what he perceived to be an insufficient response by military leaders to a growing problem. He had also spoken earlier to the Chicago Sun-Times about street gang members joining the military.

'I knew [talking to the media] would eventually cost me my [military] career, but I figured I could move somewhere else,' Barfield told the Tacoma News-Tribune. Barfield has since found employment as a patrol officer with the police department in the town of Renton, Wash., near Puget Sound.
