Gangsters be they whatever ethnicity are the great American way. We have always had them. The article doesn't single out any ethnicity in particular, so your comment makes no sense. The good thing about Al Capone-type gangsters is that they supply products and services that the State prohibits (like alcohol in the 20's, and "illicit" drugs now). The kind of gangs mentioned in the article, however, do not serve any positive purpose whatsoever. Gangsters,,,,, that don`t provide any fun drugs. I don`t think we`ll be rid of them, ever. And it`s really too bad.

"Aryan Brotherhood", "AB", SS, 666, sig runes, shamrocks, and other Nazi symbolism and Celtic iconography. Typically the SS or Nazi Sumbol will be on the throat or head.

The military is a reflection of our society. Gangs are a problem in our society. And they are a problem in the military.

This is nothing new.. There were gang members in my flight. We had a staff sergeant that was found hogtied with a bag over his head shot execution style on the west side of Albuquerque.. The OSI concluded that he was a member of the bloods and had been dealing drugs for about 4 years. The worst part about it was he had a secret clearance and was in charge of the entry control point at a nuclear weapons storage area.. Talk about a wake up call.. Thats a hard one for me. I served in New Mexico and had a high security clearance. I know I went through at least 6 months of FBI checks and they even came to my home town under cover to talk to people i knew. They followed a friend of mine who went overseas on leave and when he got back arrested him and he went through 3 days of interigations before they let him loose. Had pictures 100's of what he did on leave and where he went. High security clearances and vital mission plans/mission ready arnament to the security of our nations personel are watched very closely and not just at work I can not
