New Year’s Day attacks by US service members highlight threat, says Bishop Garrison who led DoD investigation

Summary

Bishop Garrison, a former Pentagon official who led a 2021 investigation into military extremism, warns that recent New Year’s Day attacks by military personnel highlight the ongoing threat of radicalization and distress in the armed forces.

Despite a report recommending counter-extremism measures, its policies were never implemented, facing backlash from right-wing figures, including Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.

As Hegseth aims to dismantle counter-extremism programs, Garrison stresses the risks of neglecting the issue, citing cultural and mental health challenges within the military.

    Let me try to be more clear: I don’t give a shit if you continue to be ignorant, there are millions of you. I don’t owe you anything.

    Now the choice to keep being uninformed is yours alone, but as a human being with the capacity for human reasoning I thought you might enjoy the opportunity to be less dumb.

    Your choice is yours!
