[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The military was taking all kinds of unqualified people to fight that asinine war in 2008. All you needed was a waiver and it was easy to get one. [b]People with criminal records, gang bangers, druggies, physical and mental impairments, militia were all recruited and enlisted[/b] Notes from Bergdahl's personal diary is indicative of a person walking too close to the edge of reality. [/quote] Are those not the qualities the military is after. They are sent to fight, not be nice[/quote] This is not true. My son enlisted and the screening was pretty thorough. No criminal record, no drugs, must pass a very complete physical - you all either do not know anybody who has enlisted or have been totally misled by the liberal media. Enlisting in the military is a very serious decision, and one that should be respected by the public whom these people protect. For most people, it is a selfless decision - most soldiers I know have chosen this path because they are caring, giving human beings. Yes, they are taught to be tough, and the basic training is grueling - many don’t make it through because it is so tough. I admire and have the utmost respect for those who have chosen to serve. I wish more of our elected officials had chosen to do so. Naturally, as in any profession, there are those that make it through that probably shouldn’t. My view is that Bergdahl was one of those. I think he had a more “romantic” view of the military. When it didn’t “live up to” what he imagined, he took the coward’s way out. [/quote]
