As the Georgia-based Atlanta-Journal Constitution (AJC) reports:
Per PEW Research:
Amidst that decline, it follows that the white, sort of gun-guts-and-glory nationalists, who were once the backbone (1, 2) of the U.S. military, will be eyed with increasing suspicion, because they are the archetype most likely to reject where things are heading, and susceptible to the opinions of other gun-guts-and-glory nationalists who may influence them. Some might even pursue the U.S. military to recruit such individuals, or infiltrate the ranks and gain military expertise for when the dam breaks. Statistics suggest that the U.S. military already has its hands full.
AJC:
Singing old marching songs - in the English language? Wanting a border wall?
Not supporting Trayvon Martin or Black Lives Matter?
Wearing a Santa hat?
As you see, the statistics can be misleading.
On the other hand, the statistics point towards what commentator John Mark has already suggested, which is that the U.S. military is something other than a single-minded unit:
Based on where things stand now, if called upon due to civil unrest - if, for example, proud Virginians would refuse to surrender their guns - white, gun-guts-and-glory nationalists would be the biggest liability for the U.S. military, because there would be many with conflicting loyalties. That said, perhaps there is more to this purge in the National Guard than meets the eye. After all, look at who is behind the purge and what triggered it..
AJC:
What is the motivation of the Antifa and SPLC in taking such action? The thing to understand is Germanic paganism has not been modified by Evangelicals or a post-modern Pope, and exists as it did hundreds of years ago; the religion does not offer a "feel good" message when you import children from another country, or include some narrative where you should put your life on the line to defend Israel and its claims in the Middle East. Just as importantly, Germanic paganism builds a sense of self based on ancestry, a building block for community and common interest among those who share that same heritage. In short, this is a culture community that is not built around a post-1945 world view (or: post-1960s, if you will); throw in that those who are most likely to be interested in Germanic paganism are upwards to 99.9% white and happy about their non-diversity, and you can begin to see why the SPLC and Antifa have Germanic paganism in their cross-hairs.
Tell me: are such people more likely to be foot soldiers for diversity, or to feel connected to the sort of people who they might be fielded against?
Accordingly, in purging Germanic pagans from the U.S. military, we see Antifa and the SPLC transforming the outfit into the sort of force that the Antifa and SPLC would like to have, ideologically speaking. The thing is, none of this concern makes sense if that fighting force is just going to be deployed half a globe away; it only makes sense if we consider that Antifa and the SPLC are thinking about what would happen if that military force were on U.S. soil to serve the purposes that the SPLC and Antifa would surely prefer the U.S. military serve. What other motivations are there?

To make sure that Woodward is never rewarded for his tour of duty and for risking his life to spread freedomz to a foreign desert shithole exactly as instructed?
Well, there is that..
To be certain that both men have their names published in media reports so they have difficulty finding jobs to make money and be able to eat and stay alive, like the others who have been targeted?
That seems to be in the plan, too..

Two Georgia men targeted earlier this year by online activists for their associations with radical white extremism have been kicked out of the Army National Guard, following months of investigation.Many details in this story are unclear, because the military has put a lot of red tape up around the investigation. But what we do know, and can apply to our understanding of the case, is this: the Army National Guard is a fighting force that is increasingly dependent on diversity to fill its ranks because of white demographic decline.

In 2017, the Military Times polled active-duty troops and found nearly one in four had seen signs of white nationalism among their fellow service members. Among non-white troops, the percentage was much higher with 42% saying they had personally experienced examples of white nationalism on the job. Just this month the Air Force moved to discharge a sergeant stationed at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado after he was identified as a local organizer for the American Identity Movement, a white nationalist organization formerly called Identity Evropa.Of course, we should take these numbers with a grain of salt, if only because of the strong correlation between who was polled and how they responded. After all, what are "examples of white nationalism" these days, according to a certain people? Believing in the Founding Fathers, an armed populace, and differences between genders?

Army investigators started looking into Dalton Woodward and Trent East, both members of a neo-pagan sect called the Asatru Folk Assembly, earlier this year after the activist group Atlanta Antifascists published a report linking the two men to the controversial sect of paganism identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.So the whole effort goes back to not "online activists" as the article originally suggested, but Antifa, as well as their political arm and enablers at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC); both organizations have helped to create the current political climate, which speaks volumes as to why someone's interest in Germanic paganism would trigger this whole investigative action without anybody suggesting an infringement of religious freedom - all because the Antifa and SPLC have determined that that religion is "hate" (see: your heritage is illegal).

At the time, Woodward was on active duty with the Georgia National Guard in Afghanistan. East, a member of the Alabama National Guard, was not on active duty when he was “doxxed,” or publicly outed, by the activist group.To humiliate East spiritually and force him to ponder, as the Yuletide season begins , just how he can demonstrate a passion for diversity to save his career?
The investigation into East took longer and is still regarded as an open investigation, even though East told the AJC he received official notice of his separation Dec. 14.
A spokesman for the Alabama Guard said East has 45 days to contest the findings and the investigation remains officially open until then. That spokesman also declined to give specifics about the terms of East’s separation, but East told the AJC the Army was recommending he be given a general discharge, a step down from a traditional honorable discharge that indicates unacceptable conduct not in accord with military standards. Soldiers with general discharges are not eligible for some veteran benefits, like the GI Bill.
To make sure that Woodward is never rewarded for his tour of duty and for risking his life to spread freedomz to a foreign desert shithole exactly as instructed?

AJC:
East and Woodward are not the only members of the group to lose their government jobs because of their associations. In April, the Virginia Capitol Police fired one its officers after another activist group revealed his membership with the pagan group.Meanwhile, Antifa is speaking smugly, protected with a cloak of anonymity, about the people it is judging and destroying.
AJC:
A spokesperson for Atlanta Antifascists said East was merely “dissembling his beliefs” in an attempt to make his statements and actions appear less extreme."
"He’s a confirmed white supremacist just shopping around in the marketplace, picking and choosing by aesthetics,” she said. “I’m surprised he is not backtracking more.”
Move over, Heidi Beirich - there is a new empty suit in town.
But since when did America nominate the Antifa and SPLC to be a quasi-judicial body?
Especially Antifa...

Not in a million years would I have guessed that Antifa would be a rising force in America, let alone acting in a new capacity arm-in-arm with the U.S. military, press and state.
