Author: Sikh Temple Massacre is the Outgrowth of Pervasive White Supremacism in U.S. Military Ranks

Author: Sikh Temple Massacre is the Outgrowth of Pervasive White Supremacism in U.S. Military Ranks

 Wade Michael Page was open about his neo-Nazi views when he served in the U.S. military from 1992 to 1998. this article talks about how their are a bunch of white supremacists that serve in the military, and how the people of higher rank just over look and ignore it. they need as many soldiers as they can get so they ignore all of the Neo-Nazis, Gang Members, and Criminals to Fight the War on Terror. Page thought that it was okay because of the war on terror. Page had different tattoos on his body and they made it pretty clear that he was a white supremacists. one symbolizes 14 words which was penned by a now-deceased right-wing terrorist by the name of David Lane, who was active in the 1980s, was part of a underground terrorist cell called the Silent Brotherhood. He had a German soldier tattoo on one of his calves and a Celtic cross, which is also a prominent symbol used by white supremacists as a tattoo, as well as an insignia on other things.
i think that the military should be stricter with who they let into the service. i feel like it just gives people like Page more opportunities to kill innocent people based on the color of their skin. the military should be very strict in their selection process.
