I did not go directly to the link in the OP, but googled Vetrans Speak Out (in case there was a wiki/rationalwiki article on the site). No wiki, so I went to the site's homepage and did not see anything wrong with it.

Now that I went to the direct link provided in the OP and saw that the article was sourced from TRN, I agree with your comment (as well as the alerter's comment: The story come from a RW white supremacist site).

I guess I should have clicked on the direct link in the first place!
