The ministry in turn noted that when measured against the total number of employees in the Bundeswehr, these represented only a very small number of cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, every case of extremism is one too many and should not be tolerated, it stressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Bundeswehr currently has more than 260,000 personnel, including women and men in uniform as well as civilian staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/german-military-reports-rise-extremist-121626153.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
