February 15, 2021 Efforts to hunt down extremists in the ranks are ramping up as the Pentagon focuses on training members transitioning into the civilian sector. SHOW TRANSCRIPT The signs of last month's insurrection are still obvious — unscalable fences like the one behind me protecting key areas of the Capitol. But there is some less obvious fallout, especially inside the military, where the effort to hunt down extremists in the ranks is ramping up. "There's a concerted effort to prepare people as they get ready to retire. And I witnessed that, I went through it myself. Maybe there's more we can do. Maybe we need to help veterans, future veterans understand the pull that can come from some of these groups," Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said. "And maybe those groups are targeting potential veterans that feel disaffected."
