Should convicted criminals be allowed to join the Armed Forces?
This is something I feel quite strongly upon, and I believe that people that have served their time should also be able to serve their country if they so wish.
I know a couple of people who were in my year, who have been dealt a rough hand by the Army in particular. One could not join because of a minor drugs offence and the other was kicked out because he brawled with another soldier.
In my opinion they both should have been able to join/carry on in the Army (with a little Army justice for the brawler maybe), so what do the good and honest people of TSR think on this matter?
