Criminals should have to go and fight. They are the ones bringing our communities down. Here we are sending the decent men to die, while the idiots in jail are safe and secure. What is the military thinking. Keep these guys secure somehow and ship them out. If they die, it wouldn't hurt society like it does when a gentlemen dies over there.

 what about the civilian populations? In Iraq alone we have killed over 100,000 civilians and this with trained soldiers.

I'd say they should be used for suicide-style missions, as the military requires teamwork, discipline and trust. But I think the criminal should choose whether he goes to jail or Iraq, and then the armed forces get a group of them to carry out a dangerous mission, or something. I don't know, my want for this only slightly outweighs my dislike of this.

I think they should because for one it would teach them a lesson an they would probably be the best ones out there on the field!

I'm for it I think it should be some kind of reform for them especially if they killed someone.

I don't mind getting rid of our jailed ones. But you trust them with weapons? Or possibly attacking each other. Criminals normally withdraw into races

No criminals should not be forced to fight in Iraq. They deserve that much harshness.

These people would be unreliable while in the field and they would have troubles with taking orders. They already couldn't follow the law why they follow orders.

Some say they should be sent on suicide mission and if they die it's better than a gentle man dieing over there.But these criminals still deserve a chance at life instead of having their head blown off.

What would other countries think of us if we send them to war to die. They are still people America would be looked down on by other countries.

This would be a really bad idea. Giving criminals weapons and training them is practically a death sentence for the instructors. Plus they have more opportunity to escape.

Death to all proven criminals. All they do is sit in their cells and take government money for them to survive. They help nothing and hurt us.

Do you honestly think they would go and fight?!
No, most of them would end off running away anyways.

Who should be forced to fight in Iraq? The people who want the fighting to continue.

The US should have two lists: You're either for or against the war, and everyone is required to sign one of the two lists. If you're in favour of the war, you're drafted and sent to Iraq. Let's see the chickenhawks stand up for what they claim to "believe", and let those opposed to the war have the US to themselves.

A remarkably bad idea which shows a contempt for foreign life. You don't think criminals would abuse the authority that a military occupation gives them to commit crimes against the indigenous population? There are many reports of Iraqis being robbed at checkpoints and in searches of their house.

The incident which involved the rape and murder of an teenage Iraqi girl and all of her family by American soldiers was instigated by an American criminal who has been sent to Iraq in lieu of being sent to jail. It is fictionalized in the film Redacted.

A person that has proven to be violent against his own people should not be unleashed through war on another people. Prisoners now play a role in manufacturing things needed by the Armed services, this is as involved as they should get in our military affairs. The Armed services pride themselves on their military superiority to others, having convicts in our military will set an awful precedent for the rest of the militarized world. Imagine if a tyrannical regime opens the prisons of their country to join their party that is already violent and corrupt, surely adding convicted felons to their group would not be a good thing for anyone.

NO, the military requires discipline, teamwork and the ability to depend on the people next to you. Most of the time, I have the experience, you are more concerned about the colleague net to you than you are about anything else. Putting criminals within the military just moves the problems from prison to the battlefield plus further segregates our standing in the world since we would see even more war crimes.

Criminals should be sent to prison and not to Iraq, or to any other country. The notion that the US can just ship hardened criminals to other countries is absurd. Additionally, people with a history of serious crime would be completely unreliable when it comes to following military orders in a distant, foreign country, and would probably be detrimental to the American war effort in Iraq. The US needs more professional, reliable and mentally stable soldiers; the incidents of torture at the Abu Ghraib prison clearly underline this point.
In many ways, the US army already tends to attract people with limited educational or work experience and this has left a mark on the American military, as well as how it is perceived by others. Sending off people convicted of violent crimes to essentially serve their sentence abroad, in a war zone, would further tarnish America's image on the world stage.
