Be All You Can Be: A Felon

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Army_doubled_felony_waivers_for_recruits_0421.html
This quote pretty much says it all:
The Army doubled the number of waivers it issued to allow convicted felons to enlist between 2006 and 2007, while felony waivers issued to Marine recruits increased by nearly 70 percent, according to newly released numbers from the Pentagon.
Yeah, these are exactly the types of people you want representing you when you're trying to build a democracy. Any wonder why the Iraqis aren't falling all over themselves to kiss our feet in gratitude?
