How is that different from the “behavioral challenges” faced by the entire JCS and staff?
I recall some posts sneering at the Russians for recruiting undesirables into their military. When we do the same thing, we’re being noble.
Hiring lunatics and criminals will make it easy for the government to make them attack their own people.
Being a criminal and a nutcase with a hall pass will be great fun.
The problem here is that the only people that want to join are riff raff. Yes, they have hired criminals in the past particularly when there was a draft. Not every person who has served is a good guy.
I don’t get it. When is the public and the congress going to say “enough”?
We have a president who is mentally deficient, a vice president who is...what? A fool, idiot, sophomoric?
The very best you can say for her is that she is the absolute best and perfect example of the Peter Principle. (pun not intended, but appropriate.
Add to that a military staffed with hundreds and eventually thousands of people with mental and psychological problems.
We are supposed to be the very best, but the truth is that there is no country in the entire world with a government as screwed up as ours. True the country outside of DC is a great country, but the real world is that we can not evade the craziness that infects DC, Eventually it will destroy us.
Certainly there are many countries run by evil people, but those evil people do not have scrambled brains.
The madness can not continue or it will destroy the country.
While I agree with you, military service had long been diversion for those with spotty records. So has entry level jobs. We want them to work, except we don’t want them to work.
In any case, they are looking for disposable cannon fodder.
ADHD, just who you want on reactor watch.
Whenever I go to the local NG, security is all tatted up now.
The military will take anyone now.
I bet those with “behavioral” problems are forced in by a judge. “Go to jail or Fort Benning.” But now that the military has been gutted DDIs are handcuffed from correcting their behavior.
I think we’re safer with taking folks with ADHD than with sexual dysphoria.
All’s you need is a pulse and an IQ of 70 or above and recruiter will be glad to help you.
I agree no patriot should join or stay in the military at this point. Having said that, almost half of Freepers tell me China is not capable of “taking” the small island nation of Tawain militarily and the other half tells me me China ( and Russia? ) are going to conquer the USA after crossing huge oceans an establishing beach heads in SA and NA? Which is it?
Soon they’ll be accepting criminals.
Democrats will push for a draft that includes young women. That idea will be fought - a compromise will allow the door to open for total misfits and criminals.
The goal is a strong mercenary forces NOT loyal to the United States.
