"Mental and behavioural issues".

The army still doesn't recognize that going a little coo-coo after participating in a war is a sign of humanity, not a sign of weakness.

They've gotten a lot better about treating PTSD, but not a lot better with the stigma issues, at least for those currently serving.

I knew brother knights who openly admitted to me that they were PTSD'd, but that they were waiting until after their final chance at promotion/after they'd put in retirement papers in order to seek treatment.

Not all are a result of PTSD. Hassan never went over. In a shocking turn of events it appears he was a coward.

I'd still go with MRD's judgement of the situation.

Lower the standards to fill the ranks for a retarded invasion over mustard gas and this is what you get.

Filling the ranks over what is pretty much a mustard-war (oil issue aside), will most definitely lead to cowards joining up, no?

When actual THINGS are at risk... Like, say, freedom? You can fill up the ranks and still get worthy material.

When you start to fill out because of the Oh-So-Obviously-Nonexistent-WMD's, anyone with a brain or guts will think "Nah, better I do something with my life".

Let's face it, USA think sending youth criminals to the army is a good idea, whereas here you are automatically failed in your application if you have a criminal record.

*And then you wonder why you hear about USAnian troops doing stupid **** *

What you take is what you get. That is a very simple fact, and it just CAN NOT be so hard to understand.
