A study on extremism in the military that was commissioned by the Department of Defense in wake of the Jan. 6 attack has been called out by the Associated Press for using old data that “grossly undercounted” the number of active and veteran members arrested for their involvement in the 2021 Capitol assault.

The Pentagon-funded study has been propped up as proof of extremism not being a problem in the armed forces by media outlets and political talking heads since its release in Dec. 2023, including Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, who is referenced by the AP in its Nov. 26 report on the alleged DOD inaccuracies.
