On Thursday, amid the shock of the ISIS terrorist attack in Afghanistan, the VICE portal published an article titled “Why Are So Many Marines Neo-Nazis?” claiming that, according to “anecdotal evidence,” many members of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) held right-wing extremist beliefs.
The news site then shared the article, written by its columnist Ben Makuch, with a tweet that read, “While many veterans are being outed as far-right extremists, one branch keeps popping up when it comes to neo-Nazis: the United States Marine Corps.”
