Confederate flag-waving, 'The South Will Rise Again' white supremacist. Surprisingly, they got along all right, although I suppose KKK-boy thought my buddy was "one of the good ones".

I used to sneak into their room when they were gone and post taunting anti-Confederate notes on the guy's flag. My buddy appreciated my show of support, and rebelhead never found out who was doing it.

We got along and worked well together but after work we had almost nothing to do with one another. I found it quite odd. They had their hang outs and we had ours. We were almost completely middle class suburban kids.

We did have one guy who embraced being in Germany too much. I saw him at an Oktoberfest event with a neuvo swatiska t-shirt on. I was shocked but I stayed to make sure he didn't get into anything with the locals. This was a big no-no. Germany won the World Cup in 1990 (oh THAT was a night) but actually seeing German flags on display - on the back of cars - stood out. Germans follow directions well and any display of nationalism was rare.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C., Aug 21 (Reuters) - They call it “rahowa” - short for racial holy war - and they are preparing for it by joining the ranks of the world’s fiercest fighting machine, the U.S. military.

White supremacists, neo-Nazis and skinhead groups encourage followers to enlist in the Army and Marine Corps to acquire the skills to overthrow what some call the ZOG - the Zionist Occupation Government. Get in, get trained and get out to brace for the coming race war.

If this scenario seems like fantasy or bluster, civil rights organizations take it as deadly serious, especially given recent events. Former U.S. Army soldier Wade Page opened fire with a 9mm handgun at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on Aug. 5, murdering six people and critically wounding three before killing himself during a shootout with police.

The U.S. Defense Department as well has stepped up efforts to purge violent racists from its ranks, earning praise from organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has tracked and exposed hate groups since the 1970s.

Page, who was 40, was well known in the white supremacist music scene. In the early 2000s he told academic researcher Pete Simi that he became a neo-Nazi after joining the military in 1992. Fred Lucas, who served with him, said Page openly espoused his racist views until 1998, when he was demoted from sergeant to specialist, dis ch arged and barred from re-enlistment.

than the Navy and USAF.

Even then, there are pockets of this in the Army and Marines but it is still not the majority of service members.

They couldn't have surveyed the entire military, it would be statistically impossible. And I doubt the sample size they obtained would be enough to cover the whole military.

Does not mean, in any way, that one in four service members are white nationalists.

Just from my limited knowledge of observations and statistics, one person being rather obnoxious and obvious about their feelings can lead to hundreds, if not thousands, of contacts.

Observing is not accepting.

Still, bad apples can rot a lot of others thrown together in the same basket. That's what the military is pretty good at.

One base definitely can't be reflective of all of them.

... and if they catch wind of people openly espousing racist rhetoric, they can make life hell for that person and likely get them thrown out so those who get away with it either are keeping it to themselves or they found their way to a reporting structure where a few folks feel like they do.

but read that only 50,000 ( or 5,000) were in the elite guard and they managed to round up and slaughter several million people. It's really critical that 25% of the force are white nationalists. Very scary indeed!
