FBI Says Gangs Infiltrating the US Military
The U.S. military is facing a "significant criminal threat" from gangs, including prison and biker gangs, whose members have found their way into the ranks, according to an FBI-led investigation.

Thank you for this opportunity to educate you since you won't do it yourself.

I served for 21 years in the military....you?
