Great. Just what our military needs. Some armed people to go postal.

“Behavioral challenges” probably means gang members or long rap sheets as a minor who are agreeing to sign up rather than go to prison now that they can be charged as an adult. This should work out well.

The Navy in San Diego (1967) had a ‘special’ boot camp company for misfits who had sneaked past the screening process.

The graduates of that process either reintegrated into the training cycle with a later company or got weeded out entirely.

NOBODY in his right mind wanted to get sent to Company 4050.

They need to appeal to more trannies and homosexuals.

Since they’ve pissed off every Southern white boy.

Go woke.. Get smoked.

What could go wrong; after all, we have corrupt political traitors in office Coast to Coast and look at the toilet bowl they have made of this nation.

US military hires 700 recruits who have faced behavioral challenges

After revisiting its policy on which medical conditions bar applicants from joining services, the US military for the first time has permitted 700 recruits with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to enlist, according to a report.

Francis has, officially, joined The U.S. Army. But, call him Psycho. Anyone who calls him Francis, and he will kill them.

How is that different from the “behavioral challenges” faced by the entire JCS and staff?

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.

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.

There's no indication of this in the actual article, but "behavioral challenge" could be a euphemism for a criminal record.

In any case, they are looking for disposable cannon fodder.

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.

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.
