After USA TODAY investigation, military finally releases internal extremism report

More than a year and a half after it was completed, the Department of Defense has finally published a report about extremism in the ranks.

The report was commissioned by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in April 2021 as one of four “immediate actions” announced in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection. Dozens of current and former members of the military have since been charged with Jan. 6-related crimes.
 
Earlier this year, a USA TODAY investigation found that the military had little progress to show on its efforts to combat extremism and that many important initiatives appeared to be stalled or incomplete.
 

One such effort was that “Study on Extremist Activity within the Total Force.” The study had been completed by the Institute for Defense Analyses in June 2022, USA TODAY first reported, but had never been released.

Oh. That extremism.

Not the communists, not the racists of color, not the hypersexual deviants, but "J6 people" (IOW, patriotic Americans).

No wonder you jackwagons can't hit a recruiting goal.

Any program instituted to deal with extremism that doesn't actually exist is going to appear stalled or incomplete.  This report is a pile of trash to begin with.  Had it shown anything like Biden, Austin, and Milley hoped for, it would have been published the day it came out.  The military has probably spent the past year and a half "modifying" it so they had something to show instead of a complete, utter, worthless expenditure of money and time.
