Lift the ban on people with a non violent single felony from enlisting or reenlisting in the military.

Created by R.M. on October 03, 2011

One time non violent felons should be allowed to enlist or reenlist. Sometimes they just made a simple mistake and want to serve the greater good. These want to become members of the military and sometimes it is the only chance for employment. I say let them in and give them a chance to redeem themselves and serve the country. Even former service men and women can make mistakes and should be allowed a second chance. A momentary lapse in judgement shouldn't haunt a one time offender for life. Granted they should be very limited in their job selection until they prove they are worthy but should be allotted the second chance.
