I'm actually stunned to read about this. I've never heard of this before. I thought the military did extremely thorough background checks and psycho-analytical tests to ensure that all applicants were as stable and reliable as possible. I mean, it's obvious that we don't want to give sociopaths AK-47s and send them off into the battlefield, therefore, these tests are necessary and understandable. I don't understand how someone could be a member of MS-13 and be allowed into the military, when it is known all over America just how dangerous these individuals are, as seen in their disregard for human life. This amazes me.
