Quoting a particularly disturbing letter to the editor of the Facts, "Send criminals to fight our wars
Draft, please do, but only the child molesters, murderers and rapist. Why do we have to take care of people who do the things?
We as taxpayers are paying for the people in prisons. What does that say about us? Oh, that its OK to do crimes cause you will get free meals, medical, dental and a free education?
Send those people over there to fight. Who cares if they die? They have done wrong. I bet there would be a lot less crime then.
Crystal Andrews, Freeport"
There is so much wrong about this sentiment that one hardly knows where to begin. Paramount in my thinking is the folly of placing the defense of our nation in the hands of a segment of it's population that has already demonstrated it can't function by the rules. What on earth does this woman think it takes to be a member of our military forces?
