Convicted Killers Chosen over Gays

It is no secret that the US army and The Marine Corps have been under pressure to raise their numbers because of the Iraq war, So, what have they been doing about it? Increasing the number of convicted felons into the ranks. The Army more than doubled its felon admittance, while the Marines admittance of convicted felons went up by 1/3. Most of the crimes related to the admittances where burglaries and drug offences, but several dozen involved aggravated assault and weapons charges. In addition 9 involved sex crimes, and 6 involved manslaughter.
While the armed forces are hurting so bad for troops they have to go picking through the slum, it does not stop them from discharging 2 people EVERY DAY for being gay or lesbian. In the 10 years that “don’t ask don’t tell” has been in place more then 10,000 personal have been discharged as a result; including 800 deemed “mission critical” such as pilots, combat engineers, and linguists. A study conducted last year indicated that the military could enlist 41,000 new recruits if they lifted the ban put in place by DADT but instead they prefer to let murders defend our great nations freedoms. Better a killer then a homo.
