I'm not so sure that just enlisting him in the military (and he is 20, and doesn't have to go if he doesn't want to) will solve anything. Its really easy to get kicked out. My advice is to ask this group for suggestions involving some way for him to feel some sense of accomplishment in his life. It is the only way to "straighten" out, IMHO. Anyone out there an expert on human motivation? This to me seems the core of the issue, and, as you have probably guessed, I am not an authority on the matter.
Good luck.
