The number of soldiers discharged from the Army for misconduct has risen to its highest rate ever


COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — The number of soldiers discharged from the Army for misconduct has risen to its highest rate in recent times, according to an investigation by the Colorado Springs Gazette.

The investigation based on Army data found that annual misconduct discharges have increased more than 25 percent since 2009. Among combat troops, the increase is even sharper.

Total discharges at the eight Army posts that house most of the service’s combat units have increased 67 percent since 2009.

This is a big problem as many of these armed rapists and thugs come back home to be police officers where they use excessive force and even kill in cold blood. George W Bush not only destroyed the Economy and Americas standing in the world, he has destroyed our military as well.

Police work is actually one of the most competitive hiring environments there is. Try coming home from a dishonorable discharge and getting a job as a police officer, and see how far you get. Also, the majority of departments now require a 2-4 year college degree even if you're a military veteran.

The number of people getting discharged for misconduct isn't necessarily indicative of the level of misconduct that is actually occurring, it simply shows that there are more soldiers getting caught in the act of misconduct and that more conduct is being reported and also that more of the reported acts of misconduct are actually being dealt with correctly as opposed to being outright ignored.

If you think misconduct in the military is something new or is 'getting worse' you're sadly mistaken.

Prove it. Just saying so does not make you right. I have hard data to prove my point. all you have is opinion.

Opinion? Read a fucking newspaper, do you not see what's going on in the Air Force right now?

Yes. How does that prove it is no worse than it has ever been? You made a claim, back it up or shut your face!

American wars have zero to do with defending our freedom. Get real you clueless fuckwit! Every war since WWII has been unnecessary or based on lies. Every single one. The troops are nothing more than manipulated tools fighting for corporate profits.
