We know the military has been struggling to meet its recruiting goals, so it should come as no surprise that Uncle Sam wants you [1], even if you are a convicted felon. Theft? That’s OK. Drugs? Yup, that’s OK, too. Writing bad checks? Check. If you’re willing to go to Iraq and fight George’s war, then Uncle Sam is happy to look the other way and let bygones be bygones. But you’d better not be homosexual. No, that would make you unfit to serve your country, unfit to get shot at and unfit to salute the Commander in Chief. Even if you speak fluent Arabic and could supply The Decider with what he has been conspicuously lacking since he began this war: intelligence.
