The Washington Post reports that "the Army admitted about one-fourth more recruits last year with a record of legal problems ranging from felony convictions and serious misdemeanors to drug crimes and traffic offenses, as pressure to increase the size of U.S. ground forces led the military to grant waivers for criminal conduct, according to new data released yesterday." Specifically, the Army has accepted applicants with convictions for burglary, grand larceny, aggravated assault, sexual assault, terrorist threats, and involuntary manslaughter. Apparently the war in Iraq does not allow for discrimination in selecting defenders of the homeland.
