A RAND Corporation study released Tuesday found that support for extremist groups and ideals was lower among military veterans than the general population, despite a Democrat and left-wing media narrative suggesting it is higher.
After some Trump supporters broke into the Capitol on January 6, 2020, the media honed in on participation by military veterans, and the Biden administration and military leadersfound that “considerably fewer” veterans expressed support for Antifa and “much lower support” for white supremacy than the U.S. population overall.
ANTIFA protesters demonstrate on the University of Utah campus against an event where right-wing writer and commentator Ben Shapiro is speaking on September 27, 2017, in Salt Lake City, Utah. “However, our findings do suggest work still may be needed to make sure veterans are not susceptible to being recruited by those with extremist ideologies,” he added.
