They would be out of the penal system, they would learn a trade, they would gain employment, they could benefit from the discipline, and could have pride in themselves.

Throwing hand grenades and being good with a bayonet is nice to know but not really relevant to the Job Search. The Military, is practically useless for job training nowadays. Most people are going to go into the fucking combat fields, as opposed to the technical or trade fields and not get any kind of relevant training to the civilian job market.
The Reason we had so many God Damned Shell Shocked Veterans in Vietnam, and the reason we will most likely have a horde living on the streets when this fucking war is over.
