Humanitarian Design. WRITING. Preppers. The modern US army: unfit for service? My journey into the dark underworld of the US military begins on a rainy Tuesday morning in March 2008, with a visit to Tampa, Florida.
I am here to meet Forrest Fogarty, an American patriot who served in the US army for two years in Iraq. Fogarty is also a white supremacist of the serious Hitler-worshipping type. Irregular Army: How the US Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members, and Criminals to Fight the War on Terror by Matt Kennard Tell us what you think: Star-rate and review this book We meet in his favourite hangout, the Winghouse Bar & Grill. In our brief phone call, I'd asked how I would recognise him.

Four army soldiers killed a former comrade and his girlfriend to protect an anarchist militia group they formed that stockpiled assault weapons and plotted a range of anti-government attacks, prosecutors told a judge Monday.
Prosecutors in rural Long County, near the sprawling army post Fort Stewart, said the militia group composed of active duty and former US military members spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components. They planned a series of attacks, aimed ultimately at overthrowing the government and assassinating the president. Two people – former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend Tiffany York – were shot in the woods last December in order to keep the group's plans secret. "This domestic terrorist organization did not simply plan and talk," prosecutor Isabel Pauley told a superior court judge. "Prior to the murders in this case, the group took action. Prosecutors said the group called itself Fear, short for Forever Enduring Always Ready.
