The Pentagon starts to train its service members from leaving the military in order to prevent them being radicalized by “violent extremists” as a part of the Biden’s administration plan.
The plan includes attacking the problem at hand, which in this case, is the “lethal threat” of white supremacy talked about last Tuesday morning.
There are dangerous elements of the threat that came from white supremacists and anti-government extremists. The White House labeled the January 6, 2021 riot as a “domestic terrorist attack,” followed alongside of a “purge” of extremist content being spread on the Internet.
The new strategy involves a budget of $100 million towards the Department of Justice, the FBI, and a the Department of Homeland Security in order to hire analysts, prosecutors, and investigators.
The Department of Defense is also incorporating training for service members separating retirements in the military because there may be those who are targeted to become radicalized, says an administration official.
The report given to the public goes as follows: “domestic terrorist attacks in the United States also have been committed frequently by those opposing our government institutions. In 1995, the largest single act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, an anti-government violent extremist detonated a bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people… injuring hundreds of others.”
There have been accounts of domestic terrorist attacks in previous reports, alongside an influx of reports on shooting tragedies around the nation. Experts who heavily study domestic terrorism have warned that there are far-right militants that would target people who are with the military or law enforcement for recruitment.
The new strategy addresses the Capitol assault and will address future dangers of “insider threats” that are made within the military or security agencies. Law enforcement officials are working hard to ensure that these domestic terrorists are not employed within military or law enforcement ranks, hoping to improve their screening processes.
The new strategy will be launched on Tuesday morning by Attorney general Merrick Garland.
President Joe Biden adds in his own segment, saying that “America could not ignore the threat from domestic terrorism. We must affirm that domestic terrorism has no place in our society. We must work to root out the hatreds that can too often drive violence.”
