The ever growing definition of "nazism"
The concierge was either wrong or made it up.
Neo-nazis are excluded from US military service by policy.
I can't speak for the US armed forces but I had a cousin who was a serving member of the Australian armed forces (he did one tour of duty in Afghanistan).
He told me there is a code which basically boils down to "what happens in the military stays in the military". Adhering to this code means strictly keeping silent about stuff that happens within ranks.
I'm not suggesting this is proof, but it does mean you have to treat "official" statements made that certain things will not be "tolerated" with a grain of salt.

I doubt that includes something as blatant as a swastika tattoo.
I think if the problem was as bad as some make it out to be, there would be more to talk about than one rally and one marine at the one rally.
You are making it sound like the US forces are philosophically opposed to racism within it's ranks which is certainly not the case.
In WWII black soldiers were fired upon by white American troops stationed in the UK when they didn't follow Jim Crow rules (they were punished for socialising with English people which breached rules black soldiers were forced to follow, the English thought the white Americans were dicks)
Raical segregation was enforced right up the 1960s Vietnam war. Socialising within racial lines is encouraged in the army (like in US prisons) to keep up the morale. White patriotism is packaged (cunningly) as national patriotism in the army so I'm pretty sure it must be easy to be openly racist without fearing your fellow soldiers will "rat on you" to the media. This is certainly the case in the Australian army where bullied soldiers close ranks by protecting their bullies by not leaking abuse to the media.
I wouldn't say that. Economic, environmental, health and education issues are more important in terms of managing risks.
It's just that race is a ticking time bomb....
I don't think so. From my perspective, in the deep south, race issues have greatly improved, things I heard about from the sixties are a thing of the past, mix raced friendship groups are in abundance. That suggests that things have greatly improved, the opposite of race issues being a ticking time bomb. That's why I can't stand left wing media reports, they push material to attempt to divide people, their reports are cherry picked to make a problem seem much worse than it actually is, and they generally only show white on black hate crimes to match the agenda they push, that straight white males are the devil, when in reality most people get along just fine these days, regardless of race and gender. The fact of the matter is black on white hate crimes exist also, they tend to not show that. Same goes for cops beating white people, cops have issues all around, they are using technology to combat those issues though, like the uniform cam to help rid evil-cops. Most cops aren't like that, once again that is cherry picking, making a problem seem worse than it actually is. Hell, if you go by what they report it's as if we are in a race and gender war, the complete opposite I experience in one of the state's that used to have very bad racial issues.
***Hell, even mixed couples are abundant. The race war is a myth generated by media.

Yes. Feminists and SJWs, and Green Parties, also get the label.
AND...
and there are "grammar Nazis", and...
Don't forget "soup Nazis"!

The liberalism needs to keep racism stoked, it's one of the primary propaganda tools in the arsenal.
Yea, I know and it's horrible. They are honestly the real horrible people. I hear the far-left is actually pushing for segregation, safe zones for racial groups. 'This building is for this race only', that is not only extremely F-ed up and offensive, it's also illegal. People need to step in and inform them they cannot do that, it's against the law.
Media outlets are doing some very corrupt things lately. You can find the stories, they get a report and run with it without knowing the details and make or hint towards conclusions that are false. Take for example, there was a case involving a drive by on a black woman's car. They killed her daughter, she claimed she saw the suspects and it was two white males. The story spread quick, 'Trump voters committing white on black hate crimes' or something of that nature. It was blasted all over media, turns out as the case was solved, it was actually two black guys that she knew that did the drive by. She had one as a friend on her facebook page. It was a suspected drug deal gone bad, she didn't pay the money she owed them. I think, from what the black guy telling the story claimed, only one media source actually updated people and informed them that it was not a white on black hate crime and that the two people who did the drive by were black. If they will do things like that once, you can assume it happens often. That is low and extremely deceptive, especially to not even correct the initial false report, then note how they pushed the idea that the individuals were Trump voters, completely fabricated to push the idea that Trump voters a racist.

It's apparently mostly aimed at "No Whites", and even cases "No Whites Or Asians". There is a lot of information on it, look for it.

"Safe Spaces" based on groups have been around forever just they were not called that. They were called fraternal organizations an example being the Knights of Columbus. I can tell you in the 70s way before PC and school approved safe spaces schools were segregated because the students segregated themselves.
The above said the concept is way overdone and overpoliticized these days to a harmful degree.

I've heard it's becoming more popular these days. I wish I could have found the original report that I had watched. Looking for this information I did stumble upon many things related to segregation, like it never really died out all they way. I see it as a horrible thing, people have to live together and get used to each other to overcome racism(IMO). Like if you introduce any race into another race, there will be conflict. After people live together for so long things get better. Like today in america, I don't have any friends now but when I was in my teens, I lived in a county where the majority was black. Because that is how we grew up, we were close enough to make fun of each-other about racial stereo-types, just messing around for fun and we were friends and nobody ever seemed to get offended. Even when I look around when I go in public, people all seem to get a long very well, we hold doors open for each-other and act polite. And I'm in the south. I've never even heard of this crap until recently, it's like people are still stuck in the past and it's shocking to someone like me. People have to get over all this crap and stop hating each-other. I can't believe things like this are becoming more popular versus fading away. MLK would roll over in his grave. It's supposed to be illegal, I wonder why it's still going on??
Anyway. The original report, how I learned about this was this white lady that fought to end segregation for the majority of her life and now she is saying it's shocking that she is seeing it trying to come back strong and made a point, she started a thing that was supposed to be a 'safe space for white people', then waited for the outrage to prove the point of how segregation is a bad thing.
