Default Re: Gangsters in the Military?

Just guessing, but I'm not sure many gang members have the discipline necessary for the armed services. They may call themselves warriors or whatever, but the difference is vast. I'd guess a lot of them are in gangs in the first place because they don't have the discipline to put up with crap in order to achieve long-term goals. Getting up at 2 or 5 p.m. to start your day and telling people, "You can't tell me!" isn't going to go over big, either. I guess I think gangs nourish and encourage a lot of what the armed services try to extinguish, and they call for opposite mind sets in some ways.
