The article examines whether military service and combat experience are linked to higher levels of support for political violence, extremist views, or approval of extremist groups, concluding that veterans are not broadly more inclined than the general public. It uses a large national survey to compare military and non-military respondents across beliefs about democracy, violence, and extremism, finding only small differences in specific areas. Overall, military experience does not appear to be a widespread risk factor for political militancy.
