MOBILE, Ala. - An organization that tracks racist hate groups claims there has been an increase in the number of neo-Nazis and skinheads in the military during recruiting for the Iraq war.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, in its report Friday, claims the Pentagon is violating its own decade-old zero-tolerance policy against racist hate groups and called on Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to put a stop to it. snip

In a letter to Rumsfeld, SPLC President Richard Cohen urged the defense secretary to put a stop to extremists in the military and enforce the zero-tolerance policy, warning that any one of them could turn out to be the next Timothy McVeigh.

Oklahoma City bomber McVeigh, executed in 2001, had advocated far-right ideology when he was in the Army and recruited two fellow soldiers to aid his 1995 bomb plot.

Seriously, I think the mercenaries pose a much more serious threat and this is the future according to Bushco.
