"Strained by the demands of a long war, the Army and the Marine Corps recruited significantly more felons into their ranks in 2007 than in 2006, including people convicted of armed robbery, arson and burglary, according to data released Monday by a House committee." NY Times today.
Well - that's a step in the right direction!
Now - let's take every misfit and goon and drug dealer and rapist and killer out of our jails where we are paying fifty thousand dollars a year to wharehouse them - and put them all in uniform.
The "Criminal Corp" led by a tough semi-psycho General (think Lee Marvin in the movie "The Dirty Dozen") should have it's first combat duty in Sadr City, and believe you me - when Moktar Schmuktar (or whatever his name is) gets a load of these fucking REAL American animals in action - they will fold their tents in a hurry!
Let's save our nice young marines and Infantry for mopping up missions after the "Criminal Corp," - And these one of a kind - original American wacko/criminals don't need any training - they are tough and cruel and smart -and we just assign the prison gang leaders to become their officers - and they are ready to rumble.
And no pay required -just let them pillage and plunder like the pirates of yore - they will turn the 'Surge" into a "Purge" - and those blood sucking incompetent and corrupt Iraqui politicos will be dying to make some progress, just to get the "Criminal Corps" out of Dodge - and then we can send the 'Corp" to visit Afghanistan for some r&r.
Oh -and all the white collar criminals - you know -the Enron types, -They will join the "Criminal Corp" as support personell - as clerks and cooks and logistics and in planning and intelligence. (and also serve as "Bitches" for the troops).
That oughta cut down on the Wall Street shenanigans - dontcha think?
