Inaccurate title. Waxman doesn't say or intimate that the troops are felons - he simply points to the DOD's own statistics regarding an increase in the number of military waivers for felonies, and asks about the reasons for this trend.

Also, where is your source for this article? If it's the Washington Times article you linked to in your comment, the headline is different from the one you posted.
