Pentagon Inspector General Halts Efforts to Root Out Extremism
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon's inspector general is halting efforts to identify and root
out extremism in the U.S. military, saying the initiative does not align
with Trump's policies. The watchdog issued a directive last week
abruptly ending ongoing reviews of how military branches are countering
extremism, as many military members have been linked to far-right groups
including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and the Ku Klux Klan.
