Summary
Bishop Garrison, a former Pentagon official who led a 2021 investigation into military extremism, warns that recent New Year’s Day attacks by military personnel highlight the ongoing threat of radicalization and distress in the armed forces.
Despite a report recommending counter-extremism measures, its policies were never implemented, facing backlash from right-wing figures, including Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.
As Hegseth aims to dismantle counter-extremism programs, Garrison stresses the risks of neglecting the issue, citing cultural and mental health challenges within the military.

I double down in the absence of convincing arguments
We’re not your parents or your teacher, you have to learn the value of educating yourself.
Lmao. You’re the one making claims about me being wrong, so you have to provide arguments for why that is. Saying “i know why you’re wrong, but that’s for you to find out” is lazy debating
