Active Duty ping.
This is nothing more than demonization of our military. We have already seen that the present government wishes to take away weapons rights for veterans. That is what this is about.
Oh, in the modern military, we know "who we are dealing with" and we also understand exactly what they want to "get behind".
I’ve been calling for this for years. There are too many mental defectives being allowed to join the military. When I joined in 1967, I took three days of psychological screening and another battery of exams when I joined the submarine service. We need to get back to that to eliminate all these suicidal personalities.
They need to classify believing in Islam as a mental disorder.
Do you think Harry Reid could pass this test?
‘Mental Health’ will never be a substitute for Character and Integrity and Faith.
Normal upright kids will be turned into monsters if subjected to the constant stresses of service with no real moral support from superiors.
That they are clean going into the psychological meat grinder doesn’t say anything about how they will emerge on the other end.
This just gives Congress a pass on failure to promote integrity and morality in the armed forces.
We need mental health screening for Congress (and the Presidency).
It is hard to imagine anyone joining the military today with Obumbo as Commander In Chief.
I totally agree with you. If recruits have to pass a physical, why not a psych exam? It used to be a normal thing.
Hubs is active duty and says that too many kids are misdiagnosed and over medicated as children. That it’ll eliminate good recruits.
I can see that point. If you’re going by their childhood records. But a current test shouldn’t be a problem.
And why does this article not mention the several instances of Muslim’s killing several US soldiers at one time, not only at Ft. Bliss, Texas., but in Afghanistan by Afghani Muslims or by Muslims at recruiting centers in Arkansas, ad infinitum?
I suppose Stars and Stripes is now owned by ultra lib progressives as well.
Guess what happens if they determine that you’re homophobic.
We need mental health screening for Congress (and the Presidency).”
Really wish they would give all of them an MMPI and MCMI and publish the results. Don’t have to worry about Biden taking any tests. His results would have to be declared invalid.
But a current test shouldnt be a problem.”
All depends on who is doing the interpretation of the results.
And sexual preference will not be a question?
It allows the military to establish a baseline so upfront ...........you know who you are dealing with
Recruits pass muster IF they take a secret vow fealty to the POTUS..if one refuses...one is deemed mentally unfit...and shipped off to the farm.
Every one in the Navy knows it takes a certain type of temperment to work on a sub. Not meant for your average sailor. You can’t be too claustrophobic. You have almost no privacy. You must be a quick study on your billet, because everyone literally depends on. the others properly doing their jobs. Even the air you breathe in a sub is the result of proper job performance. I was and am an intelligent man, but not on that; consistant level.
Boot camp weeds out most of the whackos.
It does.
I remember about 7 or 8 didn’t make it in mine.
