I know this is probably sarcastic, but just for the record:
Don't strive down, strive up!
If we accept this reader as the lowest acceptable, and consider military to be better than criminals, then it follows that they should have better than this.
(The key view being: the military should have more than the criminals. NOT that the criminals should have less.
The end result is the same, but the difference is that in one case you take something away, and in the other you add something.
Why destroy if you can build.)

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want angry ex-cons being released into society.

I fully agree!
What are the inmates supposed to do, sit on their thumbs all day and philosophize about their misdeeds?
People who think that probably also think that the poor should simply starve with dignity instead of becoming criminal or doing "morally ambigous" things.

I've been in the P&R before, and it's not a nice place.
