No!

This is coolbert:

This article from the Washington Times confirms to a degree what I had thought to be true:

"Army lacks guidelines to deal with jihadists in ranks"

"The Army has guidelines on how to deal with racist views and actions within the ranks, but none on how to deal with Islamic jihadism?

The military - - by law, by regulation, by policy, is not allowed to ask questions regarding race or religion? This is what I have believed to be so, and for some time so! And this is for good reason? In a nation so diverse as the U.S., such questioning becomes abusive in many instances and only raise hackles that destroys unit cohesiveness. So is the thought?

"A military pamphlet created after the 1995 racially motivated shootings at Fort Bragg is the intended guidebook on how to deal with extremist activities and prohibited conduct but is mostly focused on white supremacist behavior"

I recall this incident from 1995 very well. Two GI's, white guys, hunted and killed a black couple, off-base [Ft. Bragg] just for the sport of doing so. They had been influenced and were enthralled with "white supremacist" thought? So was the belief.

These two miscreants were Special Operations types too? NOT merely content with killing in a notional manner. Wanted to do it for "real"?

I would have to think that asking "race related" questions would only be allowed if some sort of behavior had manifested itself beforehand? Too many possibilities for abuse otherwise? I am not sure.

Policies, regulations, law are all subject to change, if the situation warrants so? YES!
