I reckon psychologists would have an interesting view of the wording 'everything is up for grabs'.
Or English academics.

There needs to be more strict psychological testing for people trying to be in the army

What in the devil is wrong with you? You can't join the military anymore as an alternative to jail, and you have to have virtually no legal problems at all to get in. Before you start spouting off ignorant conclusions, at least make sure you're not ignorant about your facts.
Originally posted by KinnearyI have relatives who have went through this process no more than 4 years ago as far as I know it holds true. My cousin had a sheet longer than both my arms was sent to juvie then through basic training at 18 and is still serving.. Now unless things have changed in the last four years I stand corrected but as far as the army's process murderers and rapist are not allowed due to the severity of the crimes anything below that they evaluate and make a decision on.

According to the Pentagon, waivers in 2001 totaled 7,640, increasing to 11,018 in 2005 . “Moral waivers” permit recruits with criminal records, emotional problems, and weak educational backgrounds to be taught how to use submachine guns and rocket launchers. Afterward, if they survive, they’ll be called heroes—and released back into society. (One ex-soldier praising the military for having “properly trained and hardened me” was Timothy McVeigh). read up on moral waivers:

Here's a little something that might make a few people sick:
And the point of that was?
As I've said in SO MANY topics, do not associate all military personnel with the people you read about in the newspapers. We are just PEOPLE. The same as everyone else. I don't judge civilians by OJ Simpson, and I'd like it very much if you don't judge the military by Mr. Green.

Yeah the Iraqis, I wonder why they would shoot you in the face....you can smile at them, then invade their country, topple their government, kill their families, rape their teenage daughters and burn their bodies without even thinking about it.
This pig should die.

Ugh... Did you read the story? He avoided the Death Penalty by cooperating and turning in the other men who were involved and were the ones who did actual shooting. Those men will most likely receive the death penalty. So stop trying to make this into a "race" issue with your "white girl" comments.

Who said that? Because it is a stupid thing to say, there is a world of difference between a soldier shooting and killing another soldier/enemy during a time of war than a soldier raping and murdering a young girl.

Technically, Michael Herr. The Vietnam Veteran who wrote the narration for Apocalypse Now, which is where the quote is said.
