The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.

“The return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks,” the report states.
The report has the surreal feel of something I read in communist Vietnam soon after the end of the war in 1975. That document resulted in the round up of millions for “re-education.”
