And they will be held accountable as they should be.
Now do WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Beirut, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

19 years of continuous war in Afghanistan/Iraq/Syria/et al...
soldiers doing 6+ tours...
what the hell did you expect ?
It's not everywhere. What a ridiculous statement. It's a small handful in force of millions over a four year enlistment. Once found out they are discharged or prosecuted if other crimes are committed. Odds of a gang members making it into buds or this particular Marine unit are slime to none.Gangs have been infiltrating the military for a while now. Lots of opportunities to sell guns, steal equipment, and be otherwise nefarious. I think it has been worse in the Army, but its everywhere.

You're an idiot. Post the #'s from the FBI sight. Not a news article pushing an agenda. If you want to attack the entire Untied States Marine Corps because I hurt some of your feelings knock yourself out. The Marine Corps has less than 225,000 Marines. 40,000 are not in gangs idiot. There are less than 3,000 Navy Seals. Good order and discipline starts to break down after the same people participate in multiple combat tours one after another. Tell me how many combat tours you've been on again.Well the FBI says that up to 2% of the military are gang associated, so that's upwards of 40,000 people. It's also reached every branch. That's hardly "a small handful." This includes street gangs, prison gangs, outlaw biker gangs, and white supremacists. Some surely have joined to try to leave gang life, but most have joined at the behest of their gang.
Now, we hear about Marines involved in a coordinated human smuggling operation and I find it hard to believe that these guys just decided to start doing that without something else going on.

Oh, do you mean this FBI website?
https://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/2011-national-gang-threat-assessment
Many street gang members join the military to escape the gang lifestyle or as an alternative to incarceration, but often revert back to their gang associations once they encounter other gang members in the military. Other gangs target the US military and defense systems to expand their territory, facilitate criminal activity such as weapons and drug trafficking, or to receive weapons and combat training that they may transfer back to their gang. Incidents of weapons theft and trafficking may have a negative impact on public safety or pose a threat to law enforcement officials.
and
Gang recruitment of active duty military personnel constitutes a significant criminal threat to the US military. Members of nearly every major street gang, as well as some prison gangs and OMGs, have been reported on both domestic and international military installations, according to NGIC analysis and multiple law enforcement reporting. Through transfers and deployments, military-affiliated gang members expand their culture and operations to new regions nationwide and worldwide, undermining security and law enforcement efforts to combat crime. Gang members with military training pose a unique threat to law enforcement personnel because of their distinctive weapons and combat training skills and their ability to transfer these skills to fellow gang members.
If I say that some number of Marines are gang affiliated, which is 100% fact, you twist that into attacking every Marine? 40,000 comes from the entirety of the military, which is upwards of 2,000,000. So, yes 2% of that is 40,000. So, today we have 16 Marines arrested for smuggling people and running drugs, traditional gang activities, and you want to act like it's impossible that game infiltration could possibly be happening there?
So again, when faced with a position that you can't or don't want to defend, you toss out this straw man argument. Instead of just conceding that gang activity is widespread in each branch of the military and a threat, you start posting pictures of people maimed in combat and saying that I am calling them all gang member. That's a complete misrepresentation of anything that I have said.
You don't seem to operate under anything other than absolutism. If there is a group of Democrats who espouse socialism, then all Democrats are socialists. If someone points out that gangs are represented in the military at a higher proportion than they are the civilian world, they are saying that every member of the military is a gang member. I'm sure that's what you will be responding to this post with as well.
Somebody sure is triggered. Maybe a day away from the world wide web, snowflake?You idiot's only care about far left Military members and Veterans. It's why in the past you have used quotes from members of Votevets a liberal veteran organization. In other threads you losers have called Trump and his supporters racist, xenophobic, anti-LGBT, and every other name in the book. Once I show lots of people in those groups support Trump you attack the individuals by trying to discredit them. Why ? Not socialist. Your tribe constantly proves the only people you care for are the ones who vote for socialist causes. You're a bunch of whiny hypocrites.
Post 13. What gang is he in ?Somebody sure is triggered. Maybe a day away from the world wide web, snowflake?
Where did anyone say he was? I think you need a mental health day. Good luck.Post 13. What gang is he in ?
You, Boomer, and Moe have now sunk below whale shi*. Since you three are such experts on the military tells about the gang members you fought beside in Fallujah and Ramadi.Somebody sure is triggered. Maybe a day away from the world wide web, snowflake?

Socialist response. Maybe reflect on what you just said.The Goonies?

You just mocked this guy. Maybe watch the video. Then ask yourself "How big of a douche am I".

he is a typical democratic socialist who does not know his *** from a hole in the ground....he is a sheeple who has been told that Orange Man bad so it doesn't matter what Trump does...he hated him and AmericaHave you ever heard of EQ? Between your abortion posts and this one, I am not sure you understand how offensive you can be. I get the whole message board invisibility cloak thing, but typing that about this veteran is about as low as it gets. I am not into banning posters but that post needs deleted.

I'm tired of these folks who let their Trump hatred govern everything they say and do...they must be miserable.....my answer....you don't like it here...leave.....don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split yaFor the first time in life, I flagged that post. That is just way too over the line.

I say free speech let everyone see them for what they are. Hypocrites that will demean anyone to push an ideology.
If we start banning free speech where does that end ? They would love nothing more than to say ban him because of whatever reason. They love to silence those that disagree. I say let them talk. It's very revealing.This is an open forum. WV has always had a negative connotation associated with it outside of the state. I have spent the last 30 years trying to dispel that stereotype, and this is no different.

Board socialist.
I usually agree with you about open speech. This is WV message board. The poster uses a WVU Dorm as his name on this board. This is an open forum. Just imagine if someone screen shots his response and links it to picture of the disabled vet and it goes viral. The person is still incognito but his words are associated with WVU.
We can do better. If he wants to spout his nonsense, he should change his name not associated with WVU in any way.
If it goes viral we link the entire thread and website address. More socialist too expose. Maybe try to convince them to hang out while. Get a blue subscription.
In today's world, the rebuttal is lost in all of the noise. I know I am being overly sensitive but he has had some cringe worthy posts in the last couple of months. Like I said, he should change his name if he wants to live on the edge.
It makes it worse that he using a freshman dorm and his posts simulate something a freshman would say which adds to my frustration.
