US, European Militaries Get Tougher On Neo-Nazis

Description

Attention to the issue of neo-Nazis and other far-right extremists in the military has been renewed following the pronounced presence of right-wing demonstrators amid violence during protests in Charlottesville and elsewhere. The issue of such extremists joining the military and gaining access to lethal weaponry and advanced training is not a new one. It is not limited strictly to the US. Earlier this month, four serving members of the UK army were arrested under the Terrorism Act. They are suspected of membership in a prohibited neo-Nazi group, National Action, which was linked to the murder of parliamentarian Jo Cox in 2016.
