A new study from the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism found a sharp increase in the number of former members of the U.S. military who are linked to extremist groups and activities. Michael Jensen, a co-author of the study, said that the problem of extremism is primarily a problem among veterans, not a problem in the ranks of those who are currently serving.
A new look at current and former members of the U.S. military linked to extremist plots finds the numbers have tripled, due in large part to a series of recent events such as the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, which helped mobilize extremists in general.
