The United States Military will not accept anyone who has been on Ritalin once they have reached puberty. Guess they have known for a long time just how dangerous this drug is. Didn't one of the monsters behind the Columbine shootings want to join the military, but wasn't allowed due to him taking Ritalin?

Yes, I do believe one of the Colombine monsters was rejected from the military for that reason. Despite some of the high falutin talk by the 'experts', there are precious few children that really need drugs to correct their behaviour. Something else is occurring now, the teacher's sweeten the pot when telling a parent their child needs Ritalin by also alerting them to the fact that the family then qualifies for social security benefits.
