I found this today, by accident. I don't remember pablum like this in the regs and pams prior to 1973 when I left the army as a company-grade officer. This DA Pam was issued during the Clinton era - its words might as well have been crafted by Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder. In fairness, it should have been updated during Bush's administration.

I'm ashamed to note that page 6 is given over to a flow chart, "Figure 1–2. EXTREMIST TATTOO DECISION SUPPORT MATRIX"

***I don’t remember pablum like this in the regs and pams prior to 1973***

Way back in 1966 when I joined the Air Force I was asked if I was a memeber, or had been a member of any anti-American organizations on a list.

I said I had not been and asked to see the list to make sure. There were a large number of organiations I had never heard of and one I had heard of. Today I only remember two that stood out.

The KKK,
and
the ABRAHAM LINCOLN BRIGADE.

I knew of the evil of the KKK but figured the A L B was just a bunch of busybody housewives. Boy was I wrong when years later I read up on them!

This reminds me of an old story I read years ago i Reader’s Digest.

A man joining the Army was asked if any of his anestors ever fought against the US government.
They were thrown into a tizzy when he said ..”YES!”

Further investigation showed his grandfather was ....Sitting Bull.
