Like I said, I'll trust data over personal anecdotes so old that people who were born when you retired are enlisted now.
I'll trust over half of minority service members over the words of some ancient fornicate with a chip on his shoulder about how great the military is.
Here's what military times has to say about white supremacy in the ranks.

I've literally been the only person involved in this discussion to rely on anything but experience that is so far out of date, people who were born when you retired can enlist now.
All I know is how they've acted around me, and the data collected by the FBI that they've made public. All signs point to heavy white supremacist affiliations. I have no idea how a handful of recon marines could have Totenkopf, Odal Runes, and Life runes tattooed on their arms without chain of command picking up on it. Is SOCOM incompetent, indifferent, or complicit?
All I know of SOF are the racist POS's that I had to deal with at my Barracks who would come get piss drunk with a white supremacist in my unit, and what the FBI has to say about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like I said, I'll trust the FBI and the patterns of behavior I've seen over some dick face on the internet who hasn't been in since the m16a3 was standard issue.
You're the one who started this thread. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you can't handle where the discussion goes, don't hop on your soap box.
Now, you familiar with how documents are released by the FBI, or nah?
Yes, the FBI has been warning about it for 15 years. That document was only recently declassified. I don't have access to the classified FBI docs, so, you got any reason white supremacists would stop trying to infiltrate the police and military? Or do you think they've been able to do so unfettered for the last 15 years, since nobody has done poop to curb it?
Given that the FBI has warned about white supremacist infiltration of the military and police forces, I'm inclined to say it's not an isolated incident. I'll trust the FBI's briefings over some internet rando any day.

Hey, remember that time an entire unit got into deep dookie for using the SS flag?
So, unless you know another reason for a Totenkopf and life rune tattoo, I'm gonna go with neo-nazi for that recon marine.
Did 4 years. Got a non-rec for the fight, left a Lance. Worth it to beat the snot out of a racist NCO who went around calling junior marines racist slurs.
