Therein lies another problem altogether. I take pride in my strong sense of
individuality. I doubt I could learn to be a 'team player' and be just another
body being given orders. And I realize I could just play along and pretend to
be molded into what they want me to be. I know people that are currently in the
military and are doing just that. They are going through the program, just
playing along and not letting any of that conditioning and programming that
occurs in training touch them. I, however, because of my O.D.D. couldn't do
that. I'd have to act out and prove to everyone that no matter what they say or
do to me, they won't change who I am (did I mention I'm extremely stubborn as
well). I'd be dragged kicking and screaming (literally and figurativly) through
the training. 

I do agree that some people benifit from military training. I know some
delinquents that improved greatly from being in the military and in fact rather
than spending their adult years in jail where they were originally headed, they
became productive members of society. I however will argue that it be manditory
for EVERYONE to become a part of the system. Besides people like myself with
mental conditions, what about others with physical problems; those that
COULDN'T go through the training at all?? What shall be done with those
unfortunate souls??
