<\/a>As Barack Obama is set to be sworn in as the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first African-American commander in chief, new evidence is suggesting that white supremacists are continuing to fill the ranks of the U.S. army. The ongoing economic recession has been openly cited by the Pentagon as a main reason why re-enlistments and new recruitments are up in 2008. However, in previous years the U.S. military struggled to find recruits and subsequently lowered their standards in an attempt to attract more potential enlistments. A new Intelligence Report filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center argues that white supremacist extremists are continually taking advantage of the situation to gain access to combat and other forms of training. Two years ago, a similar report by the group was followed by congressional demands for action to be taken to ensure extremists weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t within the ranks of the military. No redress has come from the Defense Department since that time and new reports from the FBI and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Army shows that infiltration is still occurring and indeed may be growing. <\/p>\n
