The Aftermath of January 6th and Rising Extremism

The podcast discusses the implications of the January 6th Capitol riot, suggesting it may not have been an isolated incident but rather a precursor to a more organized movement of extremists. The participation of a significant number of veterans in the riot raises alarms about the potential for future insurrections involving active military personnel. The influence of extremist groups on veterans is emphasized, highlighting concerns that these organizations see veterans as valuable assets to further their agendas due to their respected status in society. This urgent feedback led a group of national security experts to stage a war game that reimagines an insurrection involving military personnel, revolving around the thesis that a small number of troops could work in concert with extremists to create chaos.
