DADT: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. (And Don’t HEIL)
White supremacists love tattoos and shaved heads. They also love guns and military training. Once upon a time, the tattoos would cause military recruiters to turn them away, since no country wants to train the cadres of a force meant to overthrow it.
No longer. Thanks to the moronic monkey’s war of choice in Iraq, the military was forced to take whatever bodies came its way for years. That situation has changed thanks to the moronc monkey’s economic policies, but that does nothing about the many Nazis now wearing the uniform of the US Army.
The boys down in Elohim City are going to welcome their cadres back with open arms. From their cadres will come that great Aryan army that they could only dream of just a few years ago.
Heckuva job, Chimpenfuhrer. Sieg Heil!
The US military has effectively adopted a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy concerning white supremacists and neo-Nazis in an effort to bolster recruiting and retention, an article published Monday says.
Numerous articles have detailed the Army’s recruiting woes in the wake of two ongoing US wars abroad. Soldiers are less likely to enlist — or re-enlist — when faced with possible death overseas, though recruiting has gotten easier during the current recession.
But the Army’s recruiting difficulties have opened the floodgates to those who’d otherwise be turned away: neo-Nazis, white supremacists and gang members.
Writing in Salon, reporter Matt Kennard says the decision to open the military’s doors has had “drastic consequences.”
“Some neo-Nazis have been charged with crimes inside the military, and others have been linked to recruitment efforts for the white right,” Kennard writes. “Many white supremacists join the Army to secure training for, as they see it, a future domestic race war. Others claim to be shooting Iraqis not to pursue the military’s strategic goals but because killing ‘hajjis’ is their duty as white militants.”
“Soldiers’ associations with extremist groups, and their racist actions, contravene a host of military statutes instituted in the past three decades,” he adds. “But during the “war on terror,” U.S. armed forces have turned a blind eye on their own regulations. A 2005 Department of Defense report states, ‘Effectively, the military has a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy pertaining to extremism. If individuals can perform satisfactorily, without making their extremist opinions overt … they are likely to be able to complete their contracts.’”
Kennard profiles one servicemember in particular – Iraq war veteran Forrest Fogarty, in Tampa, pictured above right.
“I was 14 when I decided I wanted to be a Nazi,” Fogarty says in the piece. “I became obsessed.”
In Tampa, Fogarty says he was expelled from high school after taunting African Americans.
“On the first day, this bunch of niggers, they thought I was a racist, so they asked, ‘Are you in the KKK?’” he says. “I said, ‘Yeah,’ and it was on.”
After his expulsion, he did odd jobs and started his own Neo-Nazi rock group, “Attack.” He also made friends in the largest neo-Nazi group in the country, which has called for a “long-term eugenics program involving at least the entire populations of Europe and America.”
Despite having obvious racist tattoos, as well as a long and colorful neo-Nazi background, the military allowed Fogarty to enlist.
“They just told me to write an explanation of each tattoo, and I made up some stuff, and that was that,”
He joined the 3rd Infantry Division in Georgia — and went off to Iraq — but not before his ex-girlfriend tried to get him kicked out for racism by sending photographs of him participating in white supremacist rallies and performing with his Nazi band.
“They hauled me before some sort of committee and showed me the pictures,” Fogarty remarked. “I just denied them and said my girlfriend was a spiteful bitch… They knew what I was about. But they let it go because I’m a great soldier.”
“I hate Arabs more than anybody, for the simple fact I’ve served over there and seen how they live,” he added. “They’re just a backward people. Them and the Jews are just disgusting people as far as I’m concerned. Their customs, everything to do with the Middle East, is just repugnant to me.”
Nice, huh? Tim McVeigh would have recognized this guy as a brother. The Kehoes would have loved him too.
Sadly, he and his hateful brethren will all be back here, eventually, waiting for a chance to fight for white pride. Let us hope that their stupidity will be a great brake on their ambition.
