Can a felon join??? Yes - but couldn't before. Can a gang member join up?? Sure. What surprises me, is that YOU'RE surprised that thugs posing as soldiers DO this.

Yes Ex but you have got to agree they are recruiting a nicer class of thug these days. What surprises me isn't that thugs do this, it is that they aren't weeded out, because usually thugs are cowards at heart, no, I think that in times of high unemployment the service becomes attractive to those who can't get a job anywhereelse. What do you think a draft would achieve, weed them out sooner or give a lot of young men weapons training they wouldn't get otherwise. I doubt it would give them disciple because it is obviously lacking in these offenders and it obviously doesn't teach common sense. But cannon fodder does achieve one purpose it lifts the IQ of the general population.

Hello again, clete:

Weed them out?? WEED THEM OUT?? They RECRUITED them specifically FOR their thugishness. They just didn't want them to go off the reservation... You guys are the only ones who are surprised that they did. I'll bet the military considers these murders acceptable casualties..

What would a draft do?? DUDE! It would fill the ranks so the military wouldn't have to seek out CRIMINALS. Plus, it would have the added benefit of giving the NATION a stake in these wars, whereas only the POOR and the OUTCAST are bearing that burden.
