7 U.S. Military Members Belong to Identity Evropa White-Nationalist Group: Report

Two Marines, two Army ROTC, Army doctor, and one each from Texas National Guard and Air Force.

Seven active U.S. military service members are part of the white-nationalist organization Identity Evropa, according to an investigation by HuffPost. Two Marines, two Army ROTC cadets, an Army doctor, and one member each of the Texas National Guard and Air Force are part of the group, which is listed by the Anti-Defamation League as an extremist organization and by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a neo-Nazi hate group. HuffPost says it “verified the identities of seven men currently serving in the military.” The men were all active on the white-nationalist server known as Discord, on which they reportedly expressed “deeply racist and anti-Semitic views and participated in Identity Evropa propaganda campaigns, posting stickers and fliers in cities and on college campuses.” HuffPost says the Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, and Texas National Guard confirmed that the men were all active members in their services.
