That's kinda what I figured. The local Fox news is great at sensationalizing their 10:00pm news.

They supposidly showed video of what looks like a gang party coming from an Army base. And another video of a gang member using military tactics to shoot at some cops.

>>I don't know how true this is, it was seen on the local Fox news, who tend to sensationalize everything. But they had a story on tonite about gang members signing up for military duty to learn better methods of warfare. They can then return to the streets with their new knowledge.

>>I don't know how much this fits with the stories of the military accepting mentally ill recruits.

>>But it sounds like we have some military recruiting problems now.

Some made it to line units, but the real problem cases were usually discovered and either isolated or chaptered out.

>The military is a huge organization, and there will be a percentage of undesirables in it. I would say this is an example of sensationalist reporting.
