Answer to wolf:
You said 'Your hated of our military, makes you gullible.'
to clarify, i do not hate the military, i just think it is not right to recruit the mentally ill.

To open your eyes, i found your answer a little bit strange. It should be everyone's problem, would you agree with the recruitment of insane people? apparently you do, but i don't.

Jenny i a completely agree with you, the average American will want to work, earn and enjoy themselves, raise up their kids, not die in a war based on a pack of lies. The military seems so desperate that the only solution left is to recruit the insane, i truly disagree with such practices.

Never a Recruiter, I did help push Marine Corps recruits at MCRD San Diego. Yes, a few loose cannons do make it passed both the recruiters and the MEPS physicians, but very few make it passed the initial phases of basic training. And still an even smaller few make it through their first year or two of active duty. Have you any earthly idea how many are out among you now who qualify (per the DSM manual) as being "mentally ill?" And let us not forget, prior to the 1970s Homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. And in the 1990s they also removed Obsessive/Compusive Disorder AND Passive Agressive. Why? Because they're finding there are just too damned many of YOU out there.
Personally, I'd have to suspect you of being anti-authority and quite possibly slightly delusional. But then, I've not spent any amount of time talking to you. Just going on the info you've provided leads most of us to believe you're just another nut job. I could be wrong... But I have my reservations. Just take another Thorazine or Prozac and smile at the world.

They made John Kerry-Heinz an Officer didn't they??? Therefor we have known this since the 1960's...
Please read ALL the stories about this. It says a couple recruiters did this, NOT THE ARMY...
So if a couple folks in the Company you work for are crroked, does that mean the Company is???
I was waiting for some document that said: Classified: Get the Nut Jobs in Now, the Crazier the Better: Top Secret.
There is an unclassified, open e-mail sent by the guy only using his first name, Frank, saying "It's not our way, knock it off".
It would appear as if the Army was AGAINST it !!!
This is so goofy...
See if they take YOU in, then we will all know for sure !!!

Actually, any organization or workplace is apt to be staffed by a percentage of psychos, that is, anti-social sociopaths who act on hidden agendas that would horrify us if they were exposed to the light of day. When you read in the paper about a worker raping a coworker, or shooting them, or abducting them, OR firing them without reason, or destroying their career, or demoting them with malice, you're looking at the tip of the iceberg, and evidence of what I'm talking about. Why would the military be any different? Look at our police forces.

Yes well that is not your problem now is it. Look ok I will ask you one simple question even though I am not really interested in the answer. It is only your problem if you work side by side or are in command of one of these mentally ill people. So answer honestly. Is this the case for you? I doubt it and therefore I am right it is not your problem. Ok? If that is not ok I couldn't give a rat's asss.

Anyone, when found out to have mental problems, is GONE!!!
Your hated of our military, makes you gullible.
