According to The Southern Poverty Law Center, thousands of neo-Nazis and skinhead extremists are being recruited by the army to get training. The center called on Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, to declare a new zero tolerance policy and strictly enforce it with a task force. The defense department did not comment, claiming that they have not seen the report.
Aryan Nation graffiti is also being seen in Baghdad. The report quotes Scott Barfield, a Defense Department investigator, saying, “Recruiters are knowingly allowing neo-Nazis and white supremacists to join the armed forces, and commanders don’t remove them from the military even after we positively identify them as extremists or gang members.” Although Barfield provided evidence on 320 extremists in the past year, only 2 were discharged.
An article written by former Special Forces officer, Steven Barry, in the National Alliance magazine Resistance urged skinheads to join the Army.
“Light infantry is your branch of choice because the coming race war and the ethnic cleansing to follow will be very much an infantryman’s war. It will be house-to-house, neighborhood-by-neighborhood until your town or city is cleared and the alien races are driven into the countryside where they can be hunted down and ‘cleansed… As a professional soldier, my goal is to fill the ranks of the United States Army with skinheads. As street brawlers, you will be useless in the coming race war. As trained infantrymen, you will join the ranks of the Aryan warrior brotherhood.”
This report, coupled with recent massacres carried out by US soldiers puts the death toll of Iraqi civilians into perspective. How many Iraqis who’ve died from American bullets actually deserved them? The armed forces as an institution is inherently racist. Likewise, it’s not news to anyone that war breeds prejudice, but turning a blind eye to soldiers who desire to kill brown people is a recipe for genocide. Is it wise to entrust heavily-armed white supremacists with the duty of protecting non-whites?

Well, it actually makes sense in a sick sorta way. Send terrorists to hunt terrorists. Of course, I doubt whether or not our military leaders possess the either the sense and insight, or egalitarian attitude, or even the mental capacity, to realize this Ironic Ingenuity!
Way ta go, Genius!!

Oh yeah, I think it’s quite funny that the Aryan Nation is leaving graffitti in Iraq when the true origins of the real Aryan proto-culture was in northern Iran. Don’t these guys realize that, if they truly believe themselves descendents of the people who spawned the Hindu and Mesopotamian, as well as many Eastern European Cultures, that they’re defacing and desecrating their ancestral homeland?

Racism breeds in ignorance. Do you really think they even know that there *was* a mesopotamian culture that preceded european civilization? Most of these people think every civilization on earth was started by swedes or something.

K. Bey, I agree, though I see Racism and Ignorance in more of a yin yang relationship. And while most White Supremists refuse to acknowledge the scientific, rational discoveries of the origins of civilization, there’s actually an alarming number of suprisingly bright nationalists who do not. In fact, many of them, in the very least, pay lip service to the ancient cultures that came before them, but maintain that so-called ‘white’ civilization is simply better, thanks of course to inherent genetic qualities. Socio economics? Pish Posh!
