The government allows them to continue to exist and train because if we are ever invaded well who better to defend us than a group lead by ex-military personnel, all the government would have to due is keep supplying us bullets and we can handle anything thrown at us.
More than 3,000 police and soldiers backed by armored personnel carriers raced into Brazil's biggest slum before dawn Sunday, quickly gaining control of a shantytown ruled for decades by a heavily armed drug gang. The takeover of the Rocinha neighborhood was the most ambitious operation yet in an effort to increase security before Rio hosts the final matches of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Officials are counting on those events to signal Brazil's arrival as a global economic, political and cultural power.
The city of Rio de Janeiro has more than 1,000 shantytowns where about one-third of its 6 million people live. Authorities said it took just 90 minutes to seize control of Rocinha. Police simultaneously overran the neighboring Vidigal slum, also previously dominated by the Friends of Friends drug gang.
Both slums sit between two of Rio's richest neighborhoods, and Rocinha's ramshackle homes climb a mountainside covered in Atlantic rain forest.

hmm interesting but i could have sworn they want you disarmed, its only the strength of your constitution that recent executive orders can overturn that keeps your guns legal..
next your national pride comes from mutual love and respect for your fellow man allso a whole bunch of subliminal messages you see every day and dont even know it, which include "dont question government' 'consume' and many others.
america is nothing more than a big thorn in the side of the banking cartels that run your country you must see the rest of us are defenceless against tyranny the usa is the last free country in the world and its a monster they accidentaly created because they needed 1 huge ass strong army to take over the rest of the planet for them, so mind controling your national pride is essential to making you fight .
and allowing you to have weapons does exactly what you said it would 'create soldiers' .. they just didn't realise that your all smarter than they expected you to be thanks to the internet .. the amount of patriotism they installed you has backfired because they never thought you would question their rule or there terrorist psy ops over you ... they bungled 9/11 and accidentally woke a whole bunch of patriots up to a tyranical zionistic government

"Because there is no major conventional threat to the continental United States."
Russia, China, Venezuala, North Korea, proxys in every nation. Just waiting for a moment of weakness.
Especially if a homeland insurrection were to occur. They would fund the crap out of it.
