Military defends enlisting rapist/murderer Steven Green.

There is no doubt that the military has lowered its standards for recruits recently in order to make quota. I think that the left should learn a lesson from this tragic incident. There are standards for a reason. When you start to accept recruits with criminal backgrounds you are asking for trouble. Liberals often argue for lowering standards in other professions. They are currently trying to get the American Bar Association standard lowered to benefit minorities, who are having trouble passing the test. That means that unqualified lawyers would come back into the minority community and represent minority clients and get them wrongly convicted and worse, because of their poor lawyering skills. Many Black men have criminal records and the Liberals constantly ask that those men be given a second chance. I have saved a recruiting poster I saw posted in Oakland. I ripped it off of a telephone pole. It was asking for police cadets. The poster stated that you needed to have a "reasonably clean record," in order to qualify for the job. So we would have cops with criminal backgrounds telling other people that they need to obey the law, right! The left is constantly telling us that society shouldn't hold someone's criminal past against them and that they should be given a second chance. Now the Democrats are going into hyperdrive to censor the military for doing just that. The military is saying that they felt that Steven Green had the potential to overcome his earlier behavioral problems. Obviously, they were dead wrong. If you want first class recruits, Democratic partisans, let the military continue to recruit on college campuses. In any case Mr Green's background problems do not explain why the other men in his platoon engaged in such venal behavior. Did they all have incidents of criminal behavior in their pasts?
