WASHINGTON - More recruits with criminal records, including felony convictions, are being allowed to join the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, as the armed services cope with a dwindling pool of volunteers during wartime.
Of course you don't realize that the waivers are approved by military personell and not politicians, right?

What does this have to do with the thread?Bushs War Against the Military -- In These Times
Bush has failed the military on almost every level. While Halliburton and Boeing went to the bank this year with about $10 billion each, undermanned U.S. forces went into Iraq without armored vests and driving unarmored vehicles. The fatal results were hidden from public view as the dead were secreted home and the Department of Defense (DOD) obscured and juggled the numbers of maimed and wounded.
The U.S. Army pay scale is about half that of the British, which is why there is a major crisis in military recruitment. (More mess for Obama to clean up)

Good for the military for not kowtowing to a KKK member's desires.......
