[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3130678, member: 10465"] It seems that there is a push to make the military service something it’s not. The U.S. Military does not exist to support the social experiments of the few. It exists to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy and his will to fight. I want able bodies, alpha males next to me in a firefight or any combat situation. Guys I know who won't quit, will follow the intent as well as the letter of the order, and who can and will shoulder a wounded comrade while continuing to bring the fight. I don't want or need nor do I accept bringing people who carry excess baggage along for the ride. I saw a lot of guys wash out at various things, almost always with some excuse they had, never it seems because they simply couldn't hack it. It was always because someone did them wrong, or they had some problem beyond their control or whatever. The military is not for everyone; get over it. Combat is not for the faint hearted. Its okay to have opinions, but those of us who have really been in the armed forces and in combat often hold to a particularly strong set of values. if you aren't one of us...well, your opinions are just not worth that much.
