U.S. Army to Allow ‘Self-Mutilators’ and Other Recruits With History of Mental Issues

When i was in the Army, back in 1970, we had a way of taking care of idiots, freaks and people who endangered us..it was called ‘fragging’. Other times, we just shot them. Rat obama has spent eight years packing the federal government full of anti-American activists. Until they are removed, expect more of this insanity. Communist democrats are the enemy.

This situation is familiar to one in the UK where ilconsidered judgments by political figures who saw defence as a “cost” instead an insurance policy has resulted in cut upon cut because the budget has been distorted and stretched by two new large carriers – and the JSF’s intended for them. This lowers moral.

The other factor {in UK } has been the way government is going after soldiers long retired for “crimes” committed as far back as 1972 in Ulster against the IRA. Shooting men they believed to be terrorists. People older than I am expect to be summoned to appear in court soon. People/potential recruits read the papers and say nothing but think plenty. This slows recruitment.

In USA, Obama rewrote the ROE in a time of conflict, I can understand how that was viewed by the enlisted, that attempt by him and his admin to “make the military accountable” for their actions was all part of the big picture of dismantling the military ethos piece by piece year on year. Routine socialist treason, it’s the same everywhere.

The chances are that America will have continuing problems with recruitment as the years roll on because if the trends we see in UK are replicated, the millions of “new Americans” may not wish to join up. This a problem we’re having right now, only 2% of our fatal losses in Iraq and Afghanistan were coloured troops and not all of those were from the UK, the ratio in our society of coloureds is 18%.

Some standards then have to be lowered. The trick is to see that this does not happen.

This will discourage the REAL men who can fight from enlisting and dishearten the REAL men already in our military. Congress is in charge of declaring war. So we now know that the globalists are making sure we don’t win any. War is money. Collateral damage is a statistic. I’m feeling a draft – of hot air on my neck.

Ok….I get the concern many have here……but can we re-look at the wording……it said ‘a history of’.
Not all mental illness or self-mutilation is untreatable. There are some very strong individuals who have had to overcome a lot and who have done huge amounts of counselling and/or hard work to get well. These people can be more equipped when they have recovered, than those who have never had to overcome the crap that life brings.
Many people have also had transforming life events (such as converting to Christianity) and have developed into better and more loyal people than the average young recruit.
Don’t be so quick to judge this decision. Obviously the military needs careful evaluation and on-going assessment based on individual cases…..but this could be a good thing for many people.
Incidentally, some previous self-mutilators (now recovered) are very tough when it comes to pain and discomfort. They can push through and remain focused because they have already realised that the human body can withstand more than we give it credit for. Don’t write them off!
NOTE: I do NOT recommend people with a history of major depressive, psychotic disorders, unstable bi-polar, or serious personality disorders however. These people could regress under stress, and because of the nature of their disorder they would not be likely to have the early insight required to seek help or early intervention.
