#1 Interesting stats, but I wonder how many are from single parent families? My ex-brother-in-law was a juvenile delinquent without any direction, with an alcoholic mother overwhelmed when her husband left her with four boys in the 60's and 70's. He made an E-8 as an enlisted man, the military giving him the discipline and sense of belonging he never had. He'd have been living on the streets or in prison if it wasn't for the training he got in the Army.

#2 Arlo Guthrie was rejected for military service because he had been arrested for littering.
The MSM again is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

#3 I think a lot of juvenile delinquents are risk-takers by nature. The military adds structure and channels their risk-taking instincts into productive, or destructive, ends, depending on how you look at it.

#4 Wonder what background investigations on our MSM watch dogs would turn up? You know, if only in the interests of making sure someone is watching the watch dogs.

#5 If you're going to look at the backgrounds of the journalists, make sure to look wherever it is that charges Daddy got dropped because he had drinks with someone at the country club are filed.

#6 The stats are less than a percentage point in most cases...not newsworthy....I liked the disengenuous headline though.

#7 You can find anything you want at ALICE'S RESTAURANT > "Mother-rapers...Father-stabbers ...Pimps Killers and BankRobbers...they all moved away from him when told he was arrested for littering".
