so what happens if they apply to get into a branch of the military and they dont get accepted? The military is not an equal opportunity employer. Or what if they get in and get themselves kicked out? But I guess there is another side to this. What if the majority of these people actually get their lives straightened out and do well? Not saying it would happen, but what ratio of success vs failure would be it take to be deemed as a success? Some may say Oh wow 4 years of a guaranteed job with free medical, dental, vision for me and my family. Not to mention free housing on base housing if you have a family, or getting a subsidy that help you pay for rent and food from the military if you dont live in base housing, or are waiting to get into base housing. There is so much more the military has to offer military persons and their families that cost nothing, and the very real chance of their spouse getting a job on base and free child care. It would be a great place for a new start for low income/low educated people to grow and prosper if they wanted to. If they didnt, [BLEEP] it, send 'em back to jail.
