BHR, love the plan, only one problem. The people that you'd get!
Now I'm sorry that this is a generalization and that many unemployed people are not in that situation voluntarily and would react well to the challenge of life in the armed forces; however, there are many that are just wasters and would not react well. You might call them socially inept. They are unemployed because they are unemployable. Do we really want these people in our armed forces?
