I didn't imply that they are the only people. Anyone who has ever served in the military (as I have) can tell you the type of folks you are going to be meeting. I would say 1/2 to 2/3 of the people I went through basic with were borderline criminals that I wouldn't have ever associated with outside of that experience.

I'd love to disagree with you, but I can't. I had exactly the same experience in basic. Some of those thugs also made great soldiers--tough as hell, loved to fight. There were also rampant drug problems, not during basic everywhere else. Never even heard of so many drugs and addicts before or since.
