Some years ago, some TV did interview with black kids living in housing projects. A phrase coming up again and again is, “It is boring here.” They get their welfare checks to get by. That leaves them nothing else to do other than bum around and make troubles. The place was apparently devoid of hope and future.

Sadly, what else can they do? They often have no education/skills, no work ethic, not even loving parents - they are bred to provide a life of leisure for their parent(s). Some saw the military as a way out of the cycle, and while it may work at this point it is a risky proposition. Also, I believe tightened standards have made it inaccessible to many of them.
