DeBriefing is nothing more than letting you know what is classified and what isn't from your mission and what you can talk about and not. It's not mind erasing or anything like that. You sound somewhat misinformed about this stuff and I'm just trying to help you out with some fact. I'm not biased because I know we take all kinds of people in the army but it's such a small percentage. |
Army you know I love the military. But I am sorry each individual does
not make their own decisions. That is counterproductive for whole idea of military.
You are told from the get-go.....where you will live, what you will eat, how you will behave, what job you will do etc etc.... its disciplinary and its ok.... It is how it is successful.
Lets face it we need more of a structure in our lives.
I loved it because decisions were made by someone else and my husband did what was layed out for him and didn't have to stress over making a wrong choice.
I am far from being misinformed. I lived it. And I also lived with the trying to adjust to civilian life. Whoaaaaaaaa..... what a culture shock that was.
I guess I will go try to find a un-biased site to break down the numbers ( whew)on the poor and the affluent. Wish me luck....they are all leftwingers.
