FBI details threat from gangs in military
Members of the Hells Angels, including an Army lieutenant colonel from Illinois, have served the U.S. military in Iraq. Another Iraq war veteran, a Marine who belongs to the Maniac Latin Disciples street gang, is charged with shooting three teens in Aurora.

They are examples of growing gang activity in the military, which "poses a threat to law enforcement officials and national security," according to a new FBI report obtained by the Sun-Times.

"The military enlistment of gang members could ultimately lead to the worldwide expansion of U.S.-based gangs," the report warned.

The report by the FBI's National Gang Intelligence Center said gang members sneak into the military by failing to report criminal convictions or using fake documents. Some have sealed juvenile records unavailable to recruiters. And most of the recruiters are not properly trained to recognize gang affiliation, the report said.

2. LoL unbelievable
I just can't believe this, unless their classified together with neocons.

I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul. My only goal is just to be. There's only now, there's only here...give into love, or live in fear. No other path, no other way...no day but today.
This I do believe.
