Following the attack on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, the Pentagon commissioned a study on extremist movements possibly infiltrated into the armies. A manual has already been distributed within the Army in June 2020: it identifies 21 supremacist groups.
In an audiovisual presentation by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) used during the seminar convened in early March by the US Secretary of Defense, General Lloyd Austin, a diagram shows the main extremist groups that the armies face today: the Ku Klux Klan, Hamas, Al-Qaëda, the Christian Identity sect and ... the Catholics.
According to the legal counsel of the First Liberty association, Maître Michael Berry, who was auditioned by the Armed Forces Committee of the House of Representatives on March 24, 2021, the Pentagon would consider the positions of the Catholic Church on gender issues as unacceptable.
He would have concluded that Catholics are likely to carry out attacks against American armies that allow transgender people (NB: the Catholic Church has no problem with transgender people, only with gender ideology).
