Thank you Lost-in-Fl for this shocking news. I am all but at loss for words after reading this..... Years ago I took pride in our military, sure it had it's problems but I knew it was getting better, that things would continue to get better for those who signed up. Boy did I get that wrong! For years I would recommend to kids unsure of their future, to consider a stint in the military. Join up, see the world, learn a trade, use state of the art technology, enter an unsure teen, exit a confident adult. I did not think that there was a better gateway into adulthood. Now, with the depleted uranium and other poisonings, the alarming rise in suicides, these utterly immoral fiascos over in the Middle East, and add in an outrageous increase in rapes........... I can no longer recomend joining our military to anyone.
