Rise of Right-Wing Extremism in Western Militaries
The infiltration of extremists in the military in the west, and the spread of radicalisation among service members and former soldiers, are rising, and is a cause of concern. Moreover, it is relatively well-known that extremists value skills such as training in the military, strategic & tactical knowledge, weapons training and information & connection to a vast recruitment pool. Surprisingly, highly publicised cases of military personnel, with extremist connections, have generated enormous pressure on military officials and policymakers to ensure that further manipulation in the military does not occur. Thus, public aspirations in probing such cases are very high.
Nevertheless, little experimental research exists on the problem’s scope and specific risk factors that might be involved in leading military personnel towards extremism. Making military-specific CVE programs is a logical step for policymakers and military leadership— with increased active duty and former soldiers involved in extremist and terrorist activities, people fear that the security environment might be breached by latent terrorists.
The most crucial step is to initiate an open discussion and deliberate upon the role and form of CVE and de-radicalisation in the military sphere. Since, the military forms an essential part of any country’s security infrastructure, therefore, it must develop adequate protective measures against violent extremist infiltration into the military arena. The same applies to police, paramilitary and intelligence agencies.
