They are not necessarily "ex-cons", and most (if not all) probably are not. While they may have made mistakes in the past, waivers are granted only when there is a showing that these offenses are not apt to be a problem once the person becomes a soldier.

Personally, I would give any one of these people the benefit of the doubt and would trust any one of them far beyond where I would you. These people, with their faults, are far better patriots than you could ever dream of being, you sorry scumbag.

==================

The felons accepted into the army and marines included 87 soldiers convicted of assault or maiming, 130 convicted of non-cannabis-related drug offences, seven convicted of making terrorist threats, and two convicted of indecent behaviour with a child. Waivers were also granted to 500 burglars and thieves, 19 arsonists and nine sex offenders.
