Hacked materials from the website of the rightwing militia group the Oaf Creepers show that hundreds of people either joined or renewed their membership after many of the groups members participated in the attack on the Capitol on 6 January.
They included people who joined under their military ranks, including combat veterans, retired servicepersons, at least one serving national guardsman, several members of the clergy and others involved in security contracting and the firearms industry.
Other materials in the hack show signups to petitions under government or military emails, and private email addresses being provided in response to appeals for assistance from military and service personnel.
But with many of those addresses apparently not functioning or invalid, the extent of prior involvement by government and military employees in the group was not immediately clear.

That's what they look like to the average Joe and Jane. That, I suppose, and feeling hyper cranky about their deflated INCEL egos while indulging a toxic taste for Russian propaganda intended to overthrow USA democracy.
Them Damn Old Oaf Boys need to grow up and participate in the brilliant, ongoing experiment of the USA, democracy. We hold these truths to be self evident. You advocate peacefully for your point of view, and gracefully (most of the time) yield to majority rule.
You don't go around throwing violent tantrums because some multi-millionaire radio blowhard, or some casino-hustling draft dodger, gets you all stirred up with a filthy pack O' poisonous propaganda which is echoed endlessly by Russian bots.
If the Boys want authentic pride, they need to use their intelligence, discernment, and free will to participate peacefully in making this a better and more wholesome nation. Out of gratitude for America, it's the least they could do.
