Marine Sergeant Josh Abate, 24, admitted to participating in the January 6 Capitol riot during a polygraph test for a National Security Agency internship. Raised in a conservative household, Abate and his wife supported former President Trump, believing the 2020 election was stolen. While stationed at Marine Base Quantico, he and two friends attended the "Stop the Steal" rally, ultimately entering the Capitol building among the first rioters. The incident raises concerns about extremism in the military.
