Peter Cytanovic, Seen in Viral Neo-Nazi Charlottesville Rally Photo, Thrown Out of Military

The man who became the face of the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, attempted to join the military but was kicked out before completing basic training, according to a report.

Peter Cytanovic, who previously went by the surname Cvjetanovic, was expelled from the Nevada National Guard in December 2020 after officials were made aware of his white supremacist ties during a Defense Department background check, authorities confirmed to The Huffington Post.

A photo of Cytanovic holding a tiki torch with his mouth wide open went viral in August 2017.

The image was taken as far-right activists and neo-Nazis chanted "you will not replace us"— a common white supremacist phrase— as well as "Jews will not replace us," at the University of Virginia while protesting plans to remove a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee.

Did he intend to use his training for criminal purposes? Thankfully, he’s been rejected

Not exactly the field you go into if you want to kill people. LMAO at this wannabe-Rambo who described himself as an "officer candidate" on a LinkedIn profile. He was no such thing. Just another wannabe tough guy who signed up in a rear-echelon specialty.

under the cover of American exceptionalism and continuing oppressive expansionism. And he would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids!

Just sad how the last president's word just isn't worth what it once was.
