Forget putting him in the military.
Being ex-military and having spent my time in a war zone as a part-time target, I would NOT have wanted to depend on some irresponsible jerk who could not or would not follow rules, and had zero compassion for others, no feeling of camaraderie. He would not be a good "brother-in-arms" and I would not be able to trust him. He would be for himself alone, and no one else. (Likely also a coward.)
(He would at the very least get his mates killed as he looked out only for himself.)
(What is missing in our civilian prison system is a sentence "at hard labor" as can be given elsewhere. Discipline.)

As to his mother, she should be held liable for repayment / restitution to his victims for crimes committed while he was a juvenile, just as other parents often are. That should take care of the "windfall gains" she hopes for, marketing her son to Hollywood and the tabloids. For him, though, he is now an adult, and those things he has done since becoming an adult should be handled first - and as an adult offender. Sadly, I have little sympathy...
