Re: America....
I have noticed that in the early years of the Iraq occupation. On CNN and other networks, some US troops with hardcore tattoos and the physical appearance of gangs, criminals, etc were shown.Madd_Scientist_ wrote:recruits criminals into the US army! Read it today!

Re: America....
To be honest with you, this is completely new to me. I wasn't aware of the US recruiting criminals into their army, i didn't think they'd resort to that. I'm quite surprised actually.eternauta wrote:I have noticed that in the early years of the Iraq occupation.

Why would they recruit them, when i'm sure there are plenty of people who would join the US army and who aren't criminals. Is there a shortage of people joining the army or something?

in 2007:
"Percentage of active and reserve Army recruits granted waivers for problems that would otherwise prohibit service in 2007: 21
Number of waivers: 22,186
Number of waivers granted for convicted felons: 598
Number granted for drug and alcohol use: 1,492
Number granted for pre-existing medical conditions: 8,637
Number granted to recruits who committed misdemeanors: 9,935
Percentage of 3,437 current and retired U.S. military officers who believe the military is weaker than it was five years ago: 60
Percentage who agreed with the statement "The war in Iraq has stretched the U.S. military "dangerously thin": 88 "
-------------------------------------------------
I don't know they are going looking for these people, but they are certainly granting waivers they never would have the last I was aware.
