One of President
Joe Biden’s first priorities upon taking office was to hunt down alleged white supremacists in the U.S. military.
But now senators are saying enough is enough – as the cost nor time are no longer justified since there seems to be little proof of such activity in the military.
As the Capitol Hill insider publication Roll Call noted on Wednesday, the Senate Armed Services Committee “has called on the Defense Department to halt its programs to prevent and root out extremism in the ranks.”
The committee signaled its thinking in a report that accompanied the Senate’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act, the Pentagon’s main spending bill.
In the document, the committee maintained that “spending additional time and resources to combat exceptionally rare instances of extremism in the military is an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, and should be discontinued by the Department of Defense immediately,” Roll Call reported.
