I really have to stop asking myself whats next in the militarys long, twisted, dark journey into the subterranean hell known as political correctness and general stupidity.
As part of the militarys current trend of giving the unqualified a chance to serve; of allowing every freak of nature, social misfit, SJW and dud on active duty, the army has announced that they will be granting waivers to certain recruits who violate criteria related to mental-health violations like having a history of bipolar disorder, or self-mutilation.
Imagine sitting in a foxhole with a bi polar nut job who wants to cut himself with his bayonet.
Arlington, we have a problem
The armys PR operation, sensing a potential backlash, turned the dial up to Mach 4 on the spin cycle meter.
According to the Washington Post and USA Today, the decision to open Army recruiting to those with mental health conditions comes as the service faces the challenging goal of recruiting 80,000 new soldiers through September 2018.
In a nutshell, the army cant recruit enough people, hence the decision to clean out mental wards.
Maybe the army would get more guys joining up if they didnt see pictures of soldiers parading around in red high heels and a West Point cadet who is not only a SOB, but the Son of Stalin. Just a thought
The armys excuse as to why they can now allow crackpots to sign up is simply ludicrous. According to Lieutenant-Colonel Randy Taylor, expanding the waivers for mental health is possible in part because the Army now has access to more medical information about each potential recruit.
Uh huh
Prisons now have records online. Does that mean I want a death row inmate running for Senator?
But, the army has made it clear that it wont accept every self-mutilator and every guy who has the bi polar personality of a menstruating 15 year old girl. Theyre only taking the best.
100 Nuts will test today, but only three wear the Green Beret
A literal blizzard of B.S. was shoveled by Major General Jeff Snow, commander of the US Armys Recruiting Command. According to Snow, The biggest challenge right now is the fact that only three in 10 can actually meet the requirements to actually join the military. We talk about it in terms of the cognitive, the physical and the moral requirements to join the military, and its tough. We have a very good Army; theres a desire to recruit quality into the Army.
If you wanted quality, General Snow, you wouldnt be recruiting the guy with the Anarchy in the UK t-shirt and 300 cuts in his arms, would you?
If you wanted quality, General Snow, you wouldnt be recruiting the guy who pops Xanax like M & Ms would you?
Having Private Joe Snuffy slitting his wrists with his K Bar, is right up there at the top, in a long line of lunacy, which indicates that not only is the military suffering from a Number One case of cognitive dissonance, but that the SJWs are not just in the wire, but have laid siege to the Pentagon.
Mommy Rangers, breast pumping in the field, Liberace as a company commander, soldiers who cant spell ASVAB, druggies, homosexuals, transgender traitors who believe they served honorably, commie butter bars and a presiding bird colonel at a certain deserters trial who thinks hes part of the Resistance are all major indicators that the military is in the process of Deep Sixing itself for decades to come.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, which is published by the American Psychiatric Association; self-mutilation where people slashing their skin with sharp instruments may signal deeper mental health issues.
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo
And, accepting recruits with those mental health conditions in their past carries risks, according to Elspeth Ritchie, a psychiatrist who retired from the Army as a colonel in 2010 and is an expert on waivers for military service. People with a history of mental health problems are more likely to have those issues resurface than those who do not, she said.
It is a red flag, she said.
You think?
Literally every week there is a news item concerning problems in the military. General Mattis was brought in to fix those problems, which range from massive readiness issues to smashing the Obama era PC mandates that have put the armed forces at deaths door. If General Mattis wont put a stop to the social engineering, then President Trump needs to find a Secretary of Defense who will.
Is Mad Dog the same as RipVan Sessions???? I sure hope not. We need fearless, politically UN-correct in those jobs.
Is Trump allowing this?
Why Mattis isn’t doing anything is mystifying. I just don’t get it. Trump needs to S Can Mattis and Sessions.
Trump’s much heralded Defense Secretary has not lifted a finger to clean out the rot in the military left by Obama and his Generals. Come to think of it, Mattis was one of his Generals. Trump’s exclamations that we are rebuilding the military and it is the strongest ever are BS from start to finish. Even his mediocre effort to clean out the cross dressers was countermanded by Mattis with not a peep of protest from Trump.
Well the army has deserters and transvestites now, so what the heck?
Having been in a serious relationship with, lived with, and very nearly married to (Dodged a bullet that time!) a woman with bipolar disorder, all I can ask is: IS THE ARMY OUT OF ITS FREAKIN’ MIND?!?!?!
Madd Dog let the Trannies re-enlist during that 6 month review.
“Imagine sitting in a foxhole with...”
I want Mad Dog Mathis to spend some time in a foxhole, when things are really critical, with a guy that cut his dick off and is on female hormones.
Is Trump the President?
great we just need to redirect their self attacks toward the enemy.
More Devin Patrick Kelleys. What could possibly go wrong?
Why would you say that? Some of the nicest people out there are bi-polar. Very very pleasant to be around in their high state of mind. But can be batshit crazy in their depressed manic state. So rotate them to enemy lines in their violent low state and rotate them out in their high state. It's just a matter of scheduling and medication. It's the NEW Army. Embrace it.
/s
If an enemy wanted to destroy us from within, this would be one of the big ways to do it.
Doesn't help to engage in endless wars without a strategy to win, and retirement benefits have been severely cut. Who wants to bleed for that?
Robots are going to be the answer because the vast majority of the bastard, fat, drug addicted, mental midget youth are only a drag and ultimately the deathnell of America.
Let vets get back in - I want back in but am too old.
ANYTHING that weakens unit cohesion does NOT belong in the military...it’s that simple.
It is upsetting to me but at one time it was harmful for unit cohesion to integrate with blacks, and thus it would have been a bad idea at the time :-/
That is a Congress issue- and the people that sent them there.
