Army lifts ban on cutters, mentally ill and drug abusers to meet recruiting goals

[Crude Abolitionist]

Ppl my age used to see it as a way to get out of impoverished situations like myself...now I have a couple of nephews in the same situation and I suggested the military to them and they laughed like I was speaking Japanese and said that's for whiteboys....these idiots are in their early 20s sleeping on they mama's and sisters couches...I say this to say it seems like a large amount of the youngins today are just waiting for life to happen instead of diving in ....my nephews laugh at the notion of working period...but ain't done nothing of note since high school...the military is not a bad option when u have no other options...and there are tons of benefits....how u think I am able to get a house in California...my VA loan is how

It's not worth it.

They really running out of soldiers that badly?!?!?

You would think with all the patriots in this country, our army recruiting offices would be overflowing with citizens ready to serve.

they giving M16 training to mentally ill folks

are you suggesting that the military has never had a problem with abuse or the mentally ill throughout its history ?

Don't get it twisted, the military has always been an option for the type of people that society typically casts off, it's no different from law enforcement or the fire depth. Hell the military births this shyt through war profiteering in the first place.
They just taking the shackles off and said fukk it

Army is the biggest branch & does the most fighting. So yes we need the #s.

We are literally the Walmart of the military. High quantity > quality

Those sons of bytches equate patriotism to having a flag on the porch, shytting on black folks (others too, dont get me wrong) for speaking on injustices and wearing camouflage.

So basically, they need as many bodies possible to prepare for something coming up

whats not worth the damn VA home loan, GI Bill, being paid to learn your job, free travel to get your passport game up, and free healthcare

This is what happens when the military is spread so thin all over the world. The U.S. has the largest military in the world and still doesn't have enough people

That's a possibility or it could be because there's a military base on every corner of the globe
