Missouri Guardsman Investigated For Alleged Racist Ties Linked To Terrorism Probe | TPMMuckraker: For the second time this year, officials with the Missouri National Guard are investigating whether a white supremacist has been serving in their midst.
In March, officials accused a Missouri guardsman of participating in neo-Nazi activities while also serving in the military’s honor guard, which routinely helped pay last respects at funerals for veterans who fought in WWII. The sergeant was fired from the honor guard after former coworkers said he kept a picture of Adolf Hitler in his living room and tried to recruit them to the white supremacist movement.
Now, the military is investigating whether another guardsman, an Iraq War veteran, might have traveled to Florida to train a group of white supremacists who were accused earlier this month of planning to start a race war and arrested as part of a domestic terrorism probe.
