It has been announced that the army will no longer be excepting criminals, drug abusers, and achaholics. The reason being the army claims that soldiers in the army apart of gangs have been leaving grafiti on buildings. A statement made by the army said that they will alow drug abusers to apply but if they fail the test can not enter. The same goes for the drinking if they pass the aclchohal test they may enter if not reapply. The report also said that anyone with a felony or criminal background could not be entered into the military. Army generals say that there standards people, and soldiers must go by, beinga criminal is not one of them. Since all of these happenings the army has stated that waivers will not be given to ex convicts, and current convicts anymore.
I think that convicts and ex convicts should be allowed to serve our nation. If someone is commited to something and wants to do it they should be able to. Also if someone wants to lay down their life for their country they should be allowed to do that. i also believe that those who are willing to lay down there lives off of a clean slate should be let in first. Even if someone has commited something like a crime, that can never be changed, they should still be allowed to defend thier home.

I agree that convicts should be able to serve our country. However, I believe that they should have extensive rehab before they can do so. We do not want any convicted offenders repeating their actions while our soldiers are fighting in Iraq. But everyone does deserve a second chance.
ReplyDeleteI agree it should be allowed. Army is a way people get their lives back on track. It allows people to straighten themselves out. Who knows what damage we cause by not allowing these people. It they are worried about vandalism maybe they should keep a closer eye on their soldiers and not punish a whole group for a few people.
