I joined the United States Army in March of 2001 with an enlistment of six years in the Army Reserve and two years in the Inactive Ready Reserve. Just this past week my term in the Army has been reduced to just one more year. With that date crossed off I began reflecting upon some of the events that have affected me due to my participation in the Army.
So if you're a long time reader of my blogs, you know that I used to be a huge fan of writing about Justice and how our system's punishments are obviously not working. I know I haven't written about things like that in a while, but I just couldn't pass this up.

We all know that "troubled teens" is a sensitive issue-- you have to be careful what you say and how you act around those who are in desperate need of help. It is no surprise that you'd have to extend the same caution to said teenagers in a re-education home.
