What do you think about the new proposed policy to discharge those that have been non-deployable for over 12 months?

Hmmm, I have a mixed opinion on this topic, because there are soldiers that gave legit issues and of course many that are milking a profile until they can get out and claim disability for a non permanent or even made up injury. There is no way to really tell who is truly honest, so there is some conflicting areas here. I think if a Soldier is short of retirement, like five or less years, then let them finish and continue to place these types of soldiers in jobs where deployments are required. Anybody under say, 10 years, they gotta go. Too much money and training wasted to keep them in. I dunno, I could be way off here.

IMO, they should go to an evaluation board. Every case is different and there should be some rules or criteria that needs to be accomplished for the soldier to stay in the military or leave. There's a lot of civilian positions and training positions that can be filled with good soldiers that for some reason can't deploy. So, for example, a good option could be offering/suggesting the soldier to study certain topic (like accounting or programming) so that he can successfully transfer into a civilian position while he still a service member or depending on their capabilities, transferring this personnel to training areas. On the other hand we need to set some standards to know if a soldier is putting effort in their recovery or if there's no room for a successful recovery. A final note, if you are lying about a condition, remember that Facebook and social media could be used to prove you are fit to do some tasks.
