Basic and AIT pretty much discover folks with a sleep problem. Ordinarily they aren't subjected to this sort of treatment ~ they are simply given a discharge.
The military has no reason to keep folks around who have some reason why they can't do the job or who have physical abnormalities like Peronie's Disease that could very well mislead field medics regarding an injured soldier's condition.
When the military discover someone with Borderline Personality Disorder they release him or her from the service. It's useless to punish them, or hope to correct them.
Guard duty is exceptionally difficult for some individuals ~ for others it's just a waking trance away from another day of good times eh.
“Yours is an unsubstantiated conjecture about draftees.”
No. Our military is as professional and efficient as it’s every been...with a volunteer force.
“Basic and AIT pretty much discover folks with a sleep problem.”
BS. Basic and AIT are easy as shit. You don’t do infantry until you’ve been in a unit for a few years. Nobody knows if this guy was a sleep disorder...maybe he just didn’t give a rats ass about himself. He obviously didn’t care about his fellow Marines.
