Title written by a press that either likes America or at least is not openly rooting for her defeat:

Thanks. A GHE. Glass Half Empty headline.

A few during Combat Training walk off base. Lockdown in town found them in a hotel room, I heard. Another, disappeared. Seems he joined to piss off his parents after a fight, I heard. He was found. Don't know what they ever did to him. And then there's the kid who drowned at PI, who wanted out. Don't know that was a good way to try to get someone's attention IMHO........

I wouldn't have wanted any of them next to my son, though, I guarandamtee you that. Good riddance.

I'm please with these numbers. There are always going to be those who can't cut it. Many of them ARE in college right now. If they could cut it, and wanted to, they'd be in service. I do resent them somewhat, but they do seem to think they appreciate the sacrifice. Even though they don't have a clue ; )

Just for curiosity's sake it would be interesting to know the desertion rate during the Clinton years.
