Personality Disorders

Steven Green was given an honorable discharge from the Army in mid-May after he was diagnosed with a personality disorder.

Personality disorder? Sounds like something that covers a lot of ground. On Friday, the New York Times ran a story about the Southern Poverty Law Center's estimate that thousands of soldiers in the US military are linked to racist hate groups. To quote the SPLC, ""large numbers of neo-Nazis and skinhead extremists" are working to infiltrate the military.

The article goes on to quote a DOD official as saying that Aryan Nations graffiti has appeared in Baghdad.

Just who are some of the kids we're shipping off to Iraq? In the military's zeal to get as many "boots on the ground" as it can, how many men and women with "personality disorders" are getting through the door and being trained to kill? Even if you are Rumsfeldian in how little you care for what happens to the Iraqi civilian population, remember one thing. These "personality disorder" trained killers will be coming back to live in your neighborhoods.

It's a DOD gift that will just keep on giving.
