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. ❑
