This is atop letting more retards in...

People with a history of “self-mutilation,” bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse can now seek waivers to join the Army under an unannounced policy enacted in August, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

The decision to open Army recruiting to those with mental health conditions comes as the service faces the challenging goal of recruiting 80,000 new soldiers through September 2018. To meet last year's goal of 69,000, the Army accepted more recruits who fared poorly on aptitude tests, increased the number of waivers granted for marijuana use and offered hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses.

Hopefully just cannon fodder and not put in positions of worth.

Global Strike Command will deploy them as missiliers.

It makes perfect sense to me. TPTB want troops who will fire on us, so they pick those who are likely to be OK with such orders.

More like increase the pool of potential MKUltra candidates for recruiting to brainwash and set loose shooting up the neighborhood.

I thought there was a headcount reduction going on -- so standards should be RAISED, not lowered. wtf
