A U.S. Army Soldier has been charged after confessing to divulging sensitive details about his unit with a neo-Nazi group in a plot to attack his own military unit abroad and cause “the deaths of as many of his fellow service members as possible,” federal prosecutors said on June 22.
Army Private Ethan Melzer, 22, of Louisville, Kentucky, was charged in an indictment unsealed on Monday with collaborating and conspiring with members of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A)—a group which the Justice Department described as “an occult-based neo-Nazi and white supremacist group.”
