I am curious to hear peoples opinion on the use of conscripted prisoners in todays modern climate of war. Should the government send in soldiers for all of these NATO peace keeping things or just do like they did in the old days and clear out the jails by sending convicts to the front lines. Im not talking about shoplifters or jaywalkers , I am refering to convics with life sentances or on death row. WHo would you rather have getting shot at by the enemys of democracy, Billy from up the street or Crazy Ted who is on death row for killing 10 childern? What about an escape clause as well , something like if you live through the war from start to finish you will be free to go?
