#1 As someone who lives in a bit of an MS-13 stronghold, this is a concern. If the Army can't control this within its ranks, how is it ever supposed to be dealt with in the civilian world?

#2 Barfield said gangs are encouraging their members to join the military to learn urban warfare techniques they can teach when they go back to their neighborhoods.

That's why those with gang tattoos are not allowed to enlist in the military. Limits the pool of eligible gang members.

#3 Gang membership should be grounds for dishorable discharge. Soldiers are loyal to their country, not it's enemies.

#5 Yep RD. Next up, our Army gangs are stretched too thin and don't have advanced switchblade technology.
