Papantonio: Military Illegally Discharging Soldiers

[GoLeft TV]

The following interview originally aired on the June 9th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The Pentagon has finally found a way to cut down on their costs – by illegally discharging soldiers with made up mental disorders. Doing this strips our veterans of any benefits they would have received for their service. Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio speaks with veteran and attorney Howard Nations about this deplorable conduct.

1. That ought to slow recruitment down.

But increase the costs of private mercenaries.....

2. I don't know if this is relevant or not

but I saw it happen many times that people would return from deployment, not be able to handle things anymore and turn to drugs and alcohol. As a result of the trouble they'd get into the Army would then hand out dishonorable discharges and screw up their chances of getting help for the problems that were, most likely, caused by their military service.

The above video touched on this, but some discharges you can get from the military will impact your ability to receive veteran's benefits from the VA.

It is completely despicable how some of our Soldiers are treated.

3. Disgraceful, but as long as the mythos of the soldier = hero = patriot dominates,

the sad facts is that the military can do any damned thing it likes and very few will ever know about, or give credence to these kinds of actions.

4. And the generals/admirals authorizing this will be treated like sacred cows.
