This aticle from Stars & Stripes links to various FBI and DOD reports.
¶ Regardless of the number, several high-profile incidents in recent years have cast an unwelcome light on the issue of gangs in the military, including a murder in Germany, several assaults and cases of service members selling or giving stolen military equipment — including weapons and body armor — to street gangs. Most have occurred in the United States.
¶ The loosening of recruiting standards has experts worried that people with criminal backgrounds, particularly association with gangs, are more likely to get into the military than before.
According to the various listed reports gang members account for 1%-2% of all members of the armed forces. I am grateful for the work done by the 98-99% of those who serve their country honorably. We as police officers should be concerned by the knowledge, training and ultimately, combat experience that these bangers are acquiring and bringing back home.

As a prior service veteran I have stopped guys who have produce military ID cards and I have been willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Don't let your guard down, be vigilant and stay safe

What about gangs in the CPD??
And why doesnt CPD have AR15s and shotguns in the cars??I thought I heard Daley say that CPD was the most technologically advanced PD in America??
We all know thats a big joke.Just like CPD doing piss poor background checks,so does the military.
What about the Union Meeting Thursday?
How bout the Gang that running city hall?
There have always been gangs, so what else is new? And who cares anymore?
I saw about 10 minutes of this show. It's scary when the DoD investigators say that the military is training gang members how to do home invasions and set ambushes.
Don't worry, when they ambush us I will be ready with my underpowered handgun. Thank you mayor dickhead, I wouldn't want to offend anyone with adequate firepower. To any heavily armed terrorists, please make your first stop 15th/Indiana.
Its unfortunate that there are gangs in our communities, it is also sad that gangs have infiltrated our military ranks but if they are in the military then they are for sure gang members in the CPD. Maybe instead of following around patrolmen on minor infractions IAD could try and get rid of some of these criminals.
