 |  US military recruits more ex-cons The US Army and Marine Corps recruited significantly more people with criminal records last year than in 2006, amid pressure to meet combat needs. Statistics released by a congressional committee show 861 people were granted waivers to enlist, up from 457 in 2007. The crimes included assault, sex crimes, manslaughter and burglary.

| I have just been reading a book called Escape from Alcatraz. The inmates of that infamous prison, were, apparently, very useful as recruits into the US forces during WWII. So, I wonder, have things really changed that much since the 1940s? The Lost Language of Dreams: www.lostlanguageofdreams.co.uk | |||||||||||||||||||||
