The New Orleans attack and Las Vegas Tesla explosion are examples of the US military’s violent extremism problem

  • On New Year's Day, a terrorist attack in New Orleans killed 14 and injured dozens, committed by Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who was killed in a police shootout.
  • In Las Vegas, active-duty soldier Matthew Livelsberger died by suicide before his Tesla exploded, with authorities investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism.
  • Research indicates a growing connection between extremism and military service, with 730 individuals with military backgrounds committing politically motivated crimes since 1990.
  • Despite concerns, a RAND study found no evidence that the veteran community supports violent extremist groups at higher rates than the general public.
