According to a recently released FBI report, Gang-related activity in the US military is increasing and poses a threat to law enforcement officials and national security.

The report, Gang Activity in the U.S. Armed Forces Increasing, dated January 12, states that members of nearly every major street gang have been identified on both domestic and international military installations. These street gangs include the Bloods, Crips, Black Disciples, Gangster Disciples, Hells Angels, Latin Kings, The 18th Street Gang, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), Mexican Mafia, Nortenos, Surenos, Vice Lords, and various white supremacist groups.

What are your thoughts?... I'll explain my opinion in a lil bit.

This article strikes me as nothing more than exaggerated bullshit.

Gangs do exist in the military, but they stem from gang affiliations that some servicemen once had prior to them joining the military. I assure you, these so-called "gangbangers" would be long kicked out of the military if they really had that mentality. You'll find some of these clowns after work sporting their flags and rocking their colors, stacking handsigns and what not, but, those that really try to go all out, get kicked out.

Don't buy into this article.
