vets are threats?

Picture of the day:

I am in Bones heaven.

Name that tune and artist without googling it: "She is all that I have left, and music is her name."

Quotation of the day from the US Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Assessment dated 7 April 2009: "

Disgruntled Military Veterans: DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists
will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit
their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These
skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

...DHS/I&A assesses that the combination of environmental factors that echo
the 1990s, including... returning military veterans, ...may be invigorating rightwing extremist activity, specifically the white supremacist and militia movements. To the extent that these factors persist, rightwing extremism is likely to grow in strength.

I think this quotation speaks for itself, but really I can't resist commenting. War veterans are potential threats to national security?! Come on... Read the whole report. You'd think we could focus our energies on real threats to national security--they come from outside our country, not inside it. Yep, such as those groups whose whole goal in life is to kill us all.

I hate politics.
