MSNBC must think these scumbags are "patriotic" as well, since hardly a night goes by when they're not airing a documentary about prisons and how difficult life is on the "inside" for the poor babies. If prison was such a rotten place, you'd think the scumbags would do anything in order to stay out of one!
Savage is on the criminal topic again. They didn't empty prisons and conscript the hardest of the hardcore criminals into the military during World War II. Trust amongst your men is one of the most important things that makes it work. Criminals by definition aren't trustworthy and therefore unsuitable for an effective armed forces. It is that simple.
