The only difference these days between convicted felons and the average enlisted soldier, is the felons got caught. I know I spent a few years enlisted recently and there is all manner of stuff going on in the Army all the time. I saw drug dealers on post, child molesters in my unit, and generally insane people who were committed, gang activity - you ever heard of "The disciples of the lord" a black gang, even had a young LT in an effort to pay off his bills, whore his wife out to his platoon, film the activities, and post it on the web for a fee of course. That doesn't even get into the National Security breaches that were being covered up by some of senior enlisted and Officers. So by no means is there a rank and file military with no problems. They've got the same problems the rest of society has, but they deal with them differently.

"For those that threatened it on me, I replied with a brief statement. "I get out before you, and if you do anything to me, then whatever life you were thinking of going to when you get out will no longer exist."

"Our Military is being used as a mercenary force by our government. I know I was in it."

Domicile of Doom, you have really been around, from fighting off rape in prison to having to watch the drug dealers and child molesters, and the national security breaches while serving as a mercenary in the American military.

You are so full of shit.

I've got 16 years in officer and enlisted and saw a few dopey things, but it is rare and uncommon.

I understand opinions are like assholes, but exactly what are you trying to say? My son left for boot camp (Ft. Knox) two weeks ago and he's an honorable young man, not what you just described above. I couldn't be more proud of him. After basic he's off to AIT and then jump school. While you are entitled to speak freely take the foot out of your mouth before you do.
