Wow, there sure are a lot of holes in those stories.
Just a couple—
1) The Navy doesn’t have ‘drill instructors.’ They have company commanders.
2) If you hold the rank of Lieutenant, you are affiliated with a military service.
3) If you are a ‘suicide risk’, you will be taken completely away from any sort of training.

Thanks for the concise opinion. It was my first thought, but I don’t have your background!
"In a 40-room laboratory housed in the football stadium at the University of Minnesota, 34 young men are being systematically starved. They are conscientious objectors from all over the U.S. who volunteered as 'guinea pigs' in a scientific study on starvation. Its immediate object is to find out the best way to rehabilitate the hunger-wasted millions of Europe.
"Mentally the men feel a general lethargy, having little interest in conversation or sex. They complain of feeling 'old.' They report an inability to keep war, average body temperature being 95.8 degrees F.
"Now in the diet's sixth and last month, the volunteers will be given a three-month rehabilitation diet. Many of them wish to go to stricken areas to add their firsthand knowledge of the problem."
Accompanying the article is a picture of one of the volunteers, who'd lost 35 pounds and looks like a walking skeleton.
Can you imagine the liberals' reaction is someone recommended something like this for the CO's today?
Not the brightest bulb in the string are you.
I hope you get your general discharge. I don't want a dummy like you endangering the soldiers, *my soldiers*, who would be depending on you to watch their back.
“So I was just driving through Georgia, took one wrong turn, and ended up in Fort Benning. This Chief Petty Officer saw me walking around and told me to put on this unform on and I did, just to be polite I then had to live in this tank and get up real early every morning, but I didn’t think anything of it. Then 5 weeks later, they told me I was a Marine and I couldn’t get out of it!”
“I was assigned the job duty of torturer and sent to the city of Kabul in Iraq. Every evening, the people from Halliburton would tell me how I was to torture the prisoners. My specific duty was torturing Iraqis who were members of lesbian co-ops who angered the imperialists by not placing enough transfats in their organically grown watermelons. I would record their screams all night, which Halliburton would sell to horror movies, splitting the profits with Dick Cheney.”
“After six months of doing this disgusting work, I achieved the rank of comodore but then got discharged for not mixing the Koran with bacon. I am now homeless and living in Lafayette Park. Every day, President Bush and his entire staff come out and urinate on me and mock my service to the country.”
“Every word of my story is true. If you doubt me, you’re a Bush voter and can’t be trusted.”
LOL! Do you write for the New Republic?
John Kerry? Is that you?

Lucky he didn't get drafted and die at age 17 in Truman's Korean War.
The Korean War need not have taken place and 30,000 Americans did not need to die there while Truman was President.
If the US troops had remained in S. Korea in 1949, there would have been no Korean War (1950-53).
The South Koreans and the U.S. State Department wanted the American troops to stay, but the GAROA funds expired on June 20, 1949, and the U.S. Army had no funds to keep the troops there. They were withdrawn. Most everyone agrees that had the U.S. troops remained [in Korea in 1949], there would have been no war. U.S. troops remained in West Germany and Communist East Germany did not invade. Clearly, the Korean War could have been prevented by an adequate peacetime defense budget.A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE KOREAN WAR By Jack D. Walker
OMFG—I wish he could have seen the military and how it was gutted under Klintoon. Yeah, it was such a freakin joy—NOT.
