Out of the tens of thousands of Trump supporters protesting in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, just one of them has been positively identified as being both a member of the military and a participant in the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Naturally, that has Democrats and the media sounding the alarm about a rash of “white supremacy” and “extremism” within the armed forces.

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said this week that military leaders had been ordered to “stand down” for some unspecified period of time over the next two months to have “needed discussions” with service members about extremism.
