White Supremacist groups have been trying to recruit new members from the U.S. military, playing up on the anti-government sentiments of many soldiers when they get back from the war. So far, it's only worked in 203 case. Fail? “White supremacist extremists hope to revitalize the white supremacist movement by exploiting antigovernment sentiment among opponents of the overseas conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,” the FBI report states. It adds, however, that the effort is not going particularly well. “Although some veterans of these conflicts have joined the extremist movement, they have not done so in numbers sufficient to stem declines among major national extremist organizations, nor has their participation resulted in a more violent extremist movement,” the FBI writes.
