I'm certain he didn't express those attitudes openly while he was active duty so I disagree that "the military" had an extremism problem. Not saying it was all pink glasses and flowers but it was rarer than media would have us think.

Exactly. Saying there are extremists, and saying that the army has an extremist problem are two very different things.

a side comment to one of your side comments - during the Civil War the Navy had Steam Tugboats, all of them were named after flowers - so there was a USS Pansy! - check out the Heroism of the USS Dandelion!

Not sure it will ever happen. There will always be a fringe element, seen or unseen.

And in the 80's Soldier of Fortune was a rising star- and many vets are looking for jobs-there were damn few "security" companies then.
