A prominent white nationalist has been kicked out of the U.S. military three months after a HuffPost investigation revealed he had joined the Air Force and graduated from basic training.
Shawn McCaffrey, 28, is no longer serving in the U.S. Air Force, spokesperson Ann Stefanek said in a statement Thursday.
Information brought to the attention of his command after Mr. McCaffreys enlistment led to an entry level separation due to erroneous enlistment, Stefanek said without elaborating on the specifics.
McCaffrey who lives near Detroit and did not immediately respond to a request for comment was a key member of Identity Evropa, a group infamous for its role in the deadly 2017 Unite The Right white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

There is no place in the US Armed Forces for these POS's and the more that are identified and removed from the nations military, the better.
Kudos to the Huffington Post for staying on this.
