Gangs In The U.S. Military: A New American Low

Started by Daniel Miessler · 7 months ago

So evidently the gang problem in the U.S. military is continuing to worsen. It was an issue when I was in the Army a decade ago and I’m sure it’s only gotten worse given our ever lowering standards for entry. Here’s a picture for you: large numbers of non-native ... Continue reading »

    "¶ Earlier this year, Kadena Air Base on Okinawa established a joint service task force to investigate gang-related activity involving high school teens linked through the Web site MySpace.com."

    That cracked me up.

    And policy-makers just sit and watch because they’re too weak and frightened to take action. The vast majority of the gang activity is Hispanic, in case you’re wondering, so it causes people in charge to squirm just thinking about the repercussions of being called racist or prejudiced. And so it continues.

    If what it takes to safeley defend our country, service members and the American way of life than so be it, I am racist and prejudiced. And an American citizen that served 32 years in the reserve and on active duty. I also have freedom of speach.

    The people in charge had better wake up to the fact that there is a take over of America in progress right now. Can you imagine going into combat with these gang members, it would be just like getting shot in the back.

    I am an active duty military member and find this whole thing to be a complete disgrace. There are gang signs all over the military housing community of Hainerberg Germany. Just this past Saturday, my son was walking to a friends house and was attacked by a group of active duty soldiers calling themselves gang members. They have their "turf" staked out. The leadership has been aware of this and has done nothing about it. Being a senior enlisted person; I will. There are avenues to pursue this and I WILL take them.

    It's a damn shame that these people are allowed to walk the streets, much less wear the uniform. The American public is so afraid to be politically incorrect that they have let this happen. What has happened to my son is just one instance. How many other people out there are afraid to walk the streets because of intimidation by these thugs? I for one will not tolerate it. We in the military are supposed to be held to a higher standard and this is apparently diminishing as well. The UCMJ will come into play and there will be hell to pay.

    I will be doing my part. Anyone else...???
