“””both crime and military service in America are voluntary”””
Very astute. Also disappointing that voluntary military service is not as popular as crime. I suppose we could subtract the aged prison population. Then it gets to be a real statistical nightmare - calculating re-enlistment, recivitism, or, maybe it’s a wash.
Thanks for your response.

Well what do you expect when you have MTV and VH1 pushing that rap crap “Yo I’m a homie G, Yo I’m a homie G, I listen to the crap that they call rap” That glorifies the “gangsta” lifestyle?
And all the impressionable youth see these illiterate drug dealing thugs on TV and they think that they don’t need to go to school so they can get a job and be a productive member of society like NORMAL PEOPLE because they want to be like their heroes like c-murder, chingy, chamillionaire, fabolous, mos def, mystikal, tha dogg pound, timbaland, twiztid, xzibit, and who can forget z-ro.
See what a liberal controlled public education system does for us? We have a whole generation of drug dealing gang banging retards who can’t friggin spell.
BTW, those rap crap names above are the actual spellings.
The people that are in our prisons would not have been the kind of people who the military would have wanted anyway. The present-day military needs intelligent, educated, honorable men. The days of putting prison-scrapings into uniform stopped being viable over a hundred years ago
