Nearly a dozen ex-military among those arrested in connection with Capitol riot

Retired military servicemen are turning up in alarming numbers on wanted posters and in charging documents as federal agents continue their sweep of arrests tied to the deadly riot at the Capitol last week, a trend that has experts increasingly concerned about the dangerous allure of extremist and paramilitary groups.

So far at least nine of those arrested for participating in the riot have been confirmed to be former members of the U.S. military, ABC News has confirmed through court files, lawyer statements, and military records.

The actual number is likely higher. On Thursday, FBI Director Chris Wray said the bureau has made over 100 arrests in connection with the riot, with many more anticipated.

"The large number of individuals with ties to law enforcement or the military already arrested or apparently now under investigation suggests a deeper level of far-right sympathizers in these fields," said Javed Ali, a former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council.

And it sounds like a number of them forgot the oath they took when the y enlisted to defend the Constitution form ass enemies foreign and domestic.

1. I heard racist hate groups were using the military for their training

so that they could attack minorities and any one who disagrees with them.

They're at war. They've always been. It seems as though the Civil War never ended.

That they will be called up and court martialed.

5. can be done in the case of those that were officers

Don't thing enlisted men that have served less than 20 years and who do not remain in guard or reserve outfits can be recalled to active duty. Short of war anyway.
