The Corps may not want them; but the Corps has never shied away from a tough assignment in its history. The Corps would hesitate only because of budgetary constraints and the mamby pamby, weak hearted liberals who would second guess the Corps from Day 1. Where there'a a will there's a way. Your way makes no attempt to redeem those who might just need a little motivation. Perhaps humping a pack for 7 months or so in some lovely environment like Afghanistan or Iraq is just what the Dcotor ordered; after an orientation period in Parris Island and at the School of Infantry. Your way will likely never happen; if it would it would already be in effect. There are too many sobbing, weak kneed liberals who will never let either option come into play. And there will never be enough media attention to entice the Reverands Jackson or Sharpton to make an extended stay in our area to address the issue.
