While the US military writ-large has a far-right extremism problem, mounting evidence suggests the Marine Corps has a serious neo-Nazi problem (and it isn’t new). My latest for @VICENews looking at the USMC and its links to domestic terror. vice.com/en/article/3aq…
For example, Marine base Camp Lejeune, where two alleged neo-Nazi Marines were recently once stationed (both of whom were implicated in a plot to attack a power station), was the site of a 1986 theft of weapons by Marine white-nationalists.
This story also had great comments from @heidibeirich from the @globalextremism.
I've reported on quite a few ex-Marines linked to neo-Nazism and my colleagues @misstessowen and @tim_hume published this great piece in 2019. vice.com/en/article/d3a…

Just learned neo-Nazi terror org Atomwaffen Division claims to have become a new group: 'National Socialist Order' founded by the remaining AWD leaders who weren't arrested in a nationwide FBI crackdown earlier this year. An interesting development for counterterrorism watchers.
Earlier this year, the group's philosophical godfather James Mason, announced the Atomwaffen Division's disbandment, as it narrowly avoided being labelled a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the State Department. vice.com/en_us/article/…
Since January, the FBI arrested several members of Atomwaffen Division and The Base, a parallel terror group with a similar, violent and accelerationist ideology calling for members to hasten the collapse of society through terrorism.
