Attention
On The Army
Jewish groups were pleased with
the Army report on extremist
groups in the military, despite a
strong diversionary spin placed
on the document by Pentagon of-
ficials.
The report was prompted by
the killing of two African-Ameri-
cans in December, allegedly by
soldiers at Fort Bragg, N.C., with
links to neo-Nazi skinhead
groups.
The Fort Bragg incident high-
lighted what the Anti-Defama-
tion League has been saying for
a long time — that military per-
sonnel, and especially elite spe-
cial-forces units, are prime targets
for neo-Nazi, skinhead and mili-
tia groups.
After the incident, ADL direc-
tor Abraham Foxman demanded
a thorough investigation of ex-
tremist group activity at military
bases, and an evaluation of pro-
grams to combat extremist infil-
tration.
The report represented a good
start, according to the Jewish
group.
"This report is an important
step in the right direction," Mr.
Foxman said. "We have felt that
extremist activity by members of
our armed forces represents a se-
rious threat to order in the ranks,
and ultimately to the morale and
effectiveness of the troops."
At the same time, Jewish
sources argued that the Penta-
gon was working overtime to
spin the report in a way that em-
phasized their belief that ex-
tremist penetration of the
military is minimal.
"They highlighted information
from interviews with 7,600 mili-
tary personnel, which showed
that less than 1 percent were ac-
tive participants in extremist
groups," said a Jewish activist
who followed the investigation.
"They're much quieter about sur-
vey data showing that more than
3 percent of all soldiers have been
approached to join in some ex-
tremist activity, 17.4 percent said
they came in contact with ex-
tremist or racist material while
in the service. Those are not small
numbers."
But Jewish groups were
pleased that the official study not-
ed the need for a special focus on
elite combat units, and for clari-
fication of regulations on "active"
vs. "passive" participation in ex-
tremist activity.
Currently, participation in ac-
tivities such as fund-raising and
membership recruitment is
banned, while passive participa-
tion — receiving literature or ac-
tually belonging to hate groups
— is permitted.
The ADL will participate in a
conference with the military on
some of these issues in April.
