Veterans: The New Terrorist Threat?

So says Department of Homeland Security (Soon to be renamed "Committee for State Security") Chief Janet Napolitano in a New Partially Classified DHS Report on "Rightwing Extremism" according to the Document: "rightwing extremism may include groups opposed to abortion and immigration, as merely one among several threat assessments."
"The possible enactment of new restrictions on firearms, coupled with the return of military veterans who may have trouble reintegrating into their communities, "could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone-wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks."

The memo also says that right-wing extremist groups can include not only those who commit hate crimes but also "those that are mainly anti-governmental, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely."

It's worth noting that Both Arizona Senators (John McCain and Jon Kyl) and have strongly attacked this document. Kyl said "I don't know where they get the idea that somebody who served the country, who's pro 10th Amendment, who's pro Second Amendment, who's pro states' rights makes them a security threat to the United States, That's sort of a belief in the U.S. Constitution."

McCain called it "an insult to the men and women who have served our country in the armed services"

Janet Reno, I mean Napolitano says that the memo was never intended for public release and for us to not worry. If by not worrying, She meant that We should stock up on .223 ammo, I'm not worrying.

Have you read the Left Wing Extremeest document produced by the Bush Administration in 2001 and 2009??

Yes, It deals with Socialist's, Communists and Anarchists, I've seen many of these groups at Bush's 2nd inaugration and I would agree that they are legitimate terrorist suspects, They are bent on the destruction of America.
Veterans, Homeschoolers and people who support the Constitution are hardly a threat to America, Rather to the forces that would change it.

Veterans of all citizens have the right in their beliefs. Pro-states rights and pro-2nd amendment are suposedly guaranteed in the constitution... yet look at the country today. I'd fightfor it to.
