Phillip Carter and Owen West of Slate reported a story on Thursday regarding a new directive issued by the Army.
This new directive, now takes the process of dealing with certain “separation”, or discharging issues, from the battalion commander, and puts it in the hands of a special court marshal, there by delaying the process. Some examples of this include; Failing physical fitness requirements, Failing drug and alcohol rehab, and pregnancy. That’s right, I said pregnancy.
In an effort to curtail the ever decreasing number of soldiers our army has, the top brass has decided to try and keep the ones who shouldn’t go to war in a little longer, if not inevitably.
This is not an exaggeration. The directive clearly states that “THE ARMY CAN SAVE UP TO 3,000 INITIAL-TERM SOLDIERS THAT’S 3,000 MORE SOLDIERS IN OUR FORMATIONSâ€ÂÂ.
This is a smack in the face to those brave and women already fighting in this horrid war of lies. Not only are they somewhere they shouldn’t be, facing death for a secret personal agenda of the President, now they get to do so with Private “Tubby†Jones, or Private “Crack Pipe†Willy watching their back. Directives like this can only mean one thing – Time for the Pentagon to work on more friendly fire cover-up stories!
