Recently an Army Veteran was banned from their forums for ridiculous warnings, for example making a statement that they felt another user who open expressed support for anti-government movements like waco and ruby ridge and their support for radical militia waiting for the opportunity to overthrow their own government "may" have been brainwashed by terrorists, belittling loyalty shown by a Veteran, who has sworn to defend this country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, the very value the Army claims a soldier and a Veteran would be expected to have.
