Looks like the Obama Administration has instituted an all out assault on Combat Veterans. There’s not only the DHS Memo but now it is being reported that the FBI launched an operation in February targeting Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans.

From WSJ – Veterans a Focus of FBI Extremist Probe

A Feb. 23 draft memo from FBI domestic counterterrorism leaders, obtained by The Wall Street Journal, cited an “increase in recruitment, threatening communications and weapons procurement by white supremacy extremist and militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups.”

The FBI said in the memo that its conclusion about a surge in such activities was based on confidential sources, undercover operations, reporting from other law-enforcement agencies and publicly available information. The memo said the main goal of the multipronged operation was to get a better handle on “the scope of this emerging threat.” The operation also seeks to identify gaps in intelligence efforts surrounding these groups and their leaders.

The aim of the FBI’s effort with the Defense Department, which was rolled into the Vigilant Eagle program, is to “share information regarding Iraqi and Afghanistan war veterans whose involvement in white supremacy and/or militia sovereign citizen extremist groups poses a domestic terrorism threat,” according to the Feb. 23 FBI memo.

I’m sure that President Bush is responsible for this, that seems to be the reply for anything from the Obama Administration that targets Veterans or anyone who doesn’t agree with Obama’s actions.
