Do felons in the US military get to carry firearms?

No because they are not allowed in the military.

No, once convicted of a felony or spouse abuse, said Soldier is chaptered out of the Army.

1: your link is over 3 years old 2: it's actually federal law that those convicted of certain crimes cannot own or use firearms. Yes it applies to the military 3: the military actually does have to abide by state law unless it's in contradiction of federal law or military law.

Anyone with a Felony is actually banned from enlistment and has been for years. At one point we did allow non-violent offenders to join but that is no longer the case. We have NEVER allowed violent felons to join the military as they are in violation of several laws that require them to be around weapons.

Most notably the Lautenberg Act. The Lautenberg Act is a FEDERAL law. Anyone who falls under it, (that would be violent offenders) are banned from carrying or owning weapons.

The number of waivers issued to active-duty army recruits with felony convictions jumped to 511 in 2007, from 249 in 2006. Marine recruits with felony convictions rose to 350 from 208. Over all, the numbers represent fewer than 1 percent of the 115,000 new enlistments last year in the active-duty army and Marine Corps. Notice that was 2008...and also notice those were ALL juvenile felonies... I was in Recruiting from 06-08.

I never saw one felon enlisted. Like it said that was less than 1% and they were all juvenile crimes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
