Gangs Learn Martial Arts By Joining The Army!
This is an awful notion, that a gang member could learn martial arts by joining the army. The sad truth, however, is that gang recruitment is up, severely, and these gangs are actually using the military for training in martial arts, combat weapons, and all manner of skills. This could be utterly terrifying, if you think about it, a gang member being trained as a soldier and then turned loose on the streets of America.
That the number of these criminals enlisting in the military is up is without a doubt. According to the FBI there has been a sizable 40 per cent rise in gang membership since 2009. These are people reared in the gang society, don't have work, and the military presents a viable option for earning a living.
To be truthful, many gang members join the military with the desire to get out of the gang life. Once in the military, however, they find a culture of gangsters in the armed services. These gangsters go about enlisting new gang members, and picking up any 'strays' that are attempting to leave the gang life.
The FBI further says that they have evidence that over fifty different gangs, representing all the major gangs, have presence in the armed forces. These gangsters come from 100 different areas of the country. This is a rather large segment of the population.
The FBI also claims that that only are gang members joining the military, but other undesirable types are finding a home there. Members of Outlaw Motorcycle gangs have been joining the army. There have even been instances of prison gangs signing up.
It goes without saying that this criminal element is posing a serious threat to homeland harmony. These potential felons have access to military hardware, such as machine guns, and even grenades and other explosive devices. All too often these criminal personalities join the army reserve, then go home and share the training they have received.
One rather sobering potential behind this rise in gang enlistment is the ability to use military resources to actually enhance criminal activity. Apparently gang members have been able to access military computers to 'scope out' potential areas to expand their activities. Gang members have been able to use the military database and communication systems to actually deal in drugs.
In conclusion, it is hard to know what to do about this. The military needs smart, young men, and a clever gang member sometimes fits the bill. At any rate, that gang members could learn martial arts, and take advantage of other facets of military training is something the government may have to soon address.
