Homeland Security Sees Veterans As America's Number One Terror Threat.

Disgruntled Military Veterans
"DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists —including lone wolves or small terrorist cells— to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

I don't care what anyone says. That's profiling and it puts all U.S. veterans under suspicion. Now there's a combo of potential terrorists. Tea Partiers and U.S. veterans.

Actually Hell's Angels was formed out of returning WWII veterans.

Also, after the Civil War, other renegade groups were formed from disenchanted former vets.

Seems these disenchanted soldiers are a peripheral casualty of war.

We are with you. I just applied little bit of "political correctness".
