I've been watching this phenomenon for some time and sadly, some of the research I've done over the years suggests that some of the white supremacists who are and have been joining the Army, are doing so, not in an attempt to turn their lives around, but rather, in some cases, to acquire what German neo-Nazi lawyer Jurgen Reiger called, "Specialized Knowledge and Abilities", instead.

You remember Wade Page? He was far from the first to have these possible motives, and he won't be the last, either.
