Reminds me of the ranks of the Gestapo and Waffen SS...criminals flocked to the colors then too...

Military may ease standards for recruits

By LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press Writer 50 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Faced with higher recruiting goals, the Pentagon is quietly looking for ways to make it easier for people with minor criminal records to join the military, The Associated Press has learned.

The review, in its early stages, comes as the number of Army recruits needing waivers for bad behavior — such as trying drugs, stealing, carrying weapons on school grounds and fighting — rose from 15 percent in 2006 to 18 percent this year. And it reflects the services' growing use of criminal, health and other waivers to build their ranks.

...what an emarrassment this has become. But the seeds were there all along.
