They're the most elite, lethally trained members of the U.S. military, widely considered the best of the best. And yet in secret Facebook groups exclusively for special operations forces that were accessed by NBC News, they share misinformation about a "stolen" 2020 election, disparaging and racist comments about America's political leadership and even QAnon conspiracy theories.
Among the hundreds of Facebook posts NBC News reviewed from forums for current and former Rangers, Green Berets and other elite warriors: a member of a special forces group lamenting that several aides to former Vice President Mike Pence were part of a "Concerted effort by the thieves and pedophiles walking the hallowed halls of the peoples government" to undermine former President Donald Trump.
"In a just world, they would have already been taken out behind the court house and shot," another member commented.
In yet another post, a member of one of the groups responded to criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement with an image of a noose and the message "IF WE WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE EVIL PEOPLE FEAR PUNISHMENT AGAIN."
"The story of radicalization in special operations is a story that needs to be told," said Jack Murphy, a former Army Ranger and Green Beret who has written extensively about the special operations forces community. "It has shocked and horrified me to see what's happened to these guys in the last five or six years."

The left's Fifth Column in the Democrat Media will now spew lies against our military.
Sounds like Jerk Murphy needs to become acquainted with a stout oak branch...
Jack Murphy sounds homo to me.
Don’t. Use. Facebook.
ping to you
“These people are supposed to be the best of the best, and yet they disagree with our liberal orthodoxy. Obviously something is very wrong here.”
He probably gets on all fours for Big Mike...
If the Facebook groups are “secret” how does NBC know about them? I believe if our SF people wanted to keep their opinions and humor secret, they wouldn’t be posting it on Facebook.
Stupid article. Funny, but stupid.
Why post this?
Be a shame if some of them did something about it...
Nothing on FrkcBook is “secret.” Everyone knows that.
the whole tone of the article - that a cabal of special ops guys are posting “scary” stuff on Facebook - sounds like typical MSM lies, hype and exaggeration.
Fifth columnist Carol E. Lee
Well, if this story is even remotely true....
Then the members of that group are idiots.
They should have had some training in ComSec.
They should have long ago realized that any of the big social media platforms are not merely compromised by the enemies of the Constitution and the nation as founded, but are active participants in the destruction of all that they value.
Be a shame if some of the US military heroes this treasonous CIA newsslut is trying to get fired found out where the happy couple lives...
Seems like before too long, things are gonna be gettin real
They could just say it was a trap to lure any wrong-thinkers, but darn it, it didn’t work.
Why hide it?

“It has shocked and horrified me to see what’s happened to these guys in the last five or six years.”
Sounds like a bullshit comment that was planned out for publication, AND... the author is a pole smoker.
