    I normally don’t comment

    I’m glad you did, I appreciate your insight on the subject! It looks like the article may have been updated since I originally read it, as it no longer refers to a promotion like I saw earlier. That’s a lot more concerning, to know that he was still a civilian the whole time. I feel like that sets a dangerous precedent that would be very easy to abuse.

      Yeah, IIRC stuff like this has happened often before. One example that comes to mind was a celebrity getting their teeth removed to get deemed not fit for active duty.

      My personal opinion is that these people probably wouldn’t be mentally fit for active duty anyways.
