...within a prison population that exceeds 2.1 million.

That's about the total number of folks on active duty and in the reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Fine. Send them into Iraq to handle the insurgents. We'll keep America's finest out of harm's way, we'll reduce the population of our societal rejects, and the insurgents will wish they were dealing with the good guys again.

I was thinking along those lines for the recent recruiting shortfalls, especially in the Army and Marines. It wouldn't be the first time in history where a choice was made between joining the military or face the consequences of the judicial system.

As long as the accused person wasn't in police custody for a violent crime, serve until receiving an Honorable Discharge and have a clean slate as far as the police and courts are concerned.
