Many people in prison should not be there. They committed a crime, yes, but the punishment should fit the crime.
Let non-violent prisoners out and make them work for the military for five or ten years.
It's funny - I once read an article about the rise of gangs in the US - most of the real problems started in the years AFTER the Vietnam War and AFTER the draft was done away with. It took organizations like the Crips and Bloods about 10 years to mature into sophisticated crime organizations but it all started when those between the ages of 18-21 who were unmotivated and criminal were able to mass together.In Sweden it is/was the other way around. If you didn't do your military service you ended up IN the slammer instead....
Some countries could use the mandatory service to get rid of some of the trash from the streets...
But, then SOME people would probably scream and rub papers about human rights and stuff in your face, and those having to do it, screaming for mum and dad...!
It is dangerous even to think about something like this...espacially in a time when you are in war!
In my opinion, the justice system of the USA is not fair. It is a big difference, if you are rich or poor.
I would fear, that the US Army starts to "order" new recruits at some judges.
The US-Army lacks of educated and also motivated soldiers...
And around the world, the US Army is nowadays famous for there war-crimes especially in Irak...
Do you want to go next to someone into a battle who is only in your unit, because if not, he would end in jail?

Just like every other justice system in the world including Germany's.

Ok...this was not correct. Let say it on another way. If a justice is pro army. He believes, the army needs more soldiers. This can influence his decision. Even if he didn't want.
Excuse me lacks educated Soldiers? Where do you come up with this. Sorry but you dont know what you are talking about.
Did you know that more people in the US Army have a college education than probably any other military in the world.
You also say the US Army lacks motivated soldiers? Where do you come up with this as well? Have you served in the US Army?
No...
OK, this was wrong. In a modern army, less or more you needed only high educated soldiers.
Come on, after several years of war, the motivation of the ground forces is down. Every day something blows up somewhere. Someone is shooting on you. Sniper attacks. And most time you didn't see the enemy. What do you fear most? This one, you didn't see. They didn't get enough sleep.
This is normal.
Did you read my post?
Also if the other side commits war crimes, you didn't have the right to do so.
This you should know.
Bullshit. In war all armys commit war crimes. Some more, some less. But they commit war crimes. Lighter ones or realy bad ones. In each war, everywhere.
Soldiers are humans. You have nice guys, and bad boys. I am one of them, who believes that (less or more, the few % who wouldn't do this, didn't count) everyone can get a killer.
T4.H said:Unimportant how much you hate the other side, you have to be intelligent enough not to commit any war crimes. Or be intelligent enough, to do it, when noone has a chance to recognice it.
T4.H said:Have you read the Genfer convention? I did. Because I couldn't believe that the Talibans are "soldiers"...they are. Captured ones are POW's with all rights.
T4.H said:Do you remember:
The lonely Iraki soldier, hunted by a AH64 with the 3 cm gun?
BAmBAmBAmFalls down, stand up again...BAmBAmBAm Falls down...
It is not allowed, to shoot with a 3 cm gun on soldiers (genfer convention)
The wounded one trying to get away from his car...And the gunner of the AH64 saying to his pilot (something like): There is a wounded one. I can't kill him.
Pilot (something like): Shoot on the car...
Perhaps one or two of the bullets hit the car...the rest...went next to it...
It is not allowed, to shoot on wounded ones...and with 3 cm...
T4.H said:Or the group going into a building, several wounded one where lying in this building (since a day?).
One of the soldier was shouting on one of the wounded...then he shot him in his head, half a meter distance...
T4.H said:I have perhaps a different opinion, what a warcrime is. For me this are warcrimes.
