Yes, an Air Force Recruit with Ties to a Hate Group Is Out. But the Military’s Extremism Problem Isn’t Fixed.

The Air Force has kicked out a man who belonged to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa months after reporters uncovered his ties, a spokeswoman confirmed in an email to Military.com Monday.

The episode has only underscored the challenges the military faces in screening recruits for associations with extremist groups. That concern has gained fresh urgency since the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection, which led to the arrests of at least 32 veterans and one active-duty service member who were allegedly part of the mob.

“Shawn McCaffrey is no longer serving in the U.S. Air Force,” Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek confirmed Monday in a statement.

The military should be thankful is doesn't have ANYONE WITH TIES TO LEFT WING HATE GROUPS, or else I don't know if they could overcome the stand downs needed to weed them out. ****slapping
