I don't think the army is the right place for them. why should the lads who are fighting to defend this country be saddled with the no-counts that fill our jails....many of them do not belong here anyway.

And rather than hanging, why can't we just humanely euthanise them and use their organs for transplant purposes....then at least their lives would not have been totally in vain, and it could be seen as having paid back their debt to society.
