What is wrong with our troops today? What are your thoughts on this problem child?

The blatant disrespect she shows by posting the picture and comments is what irks me the most.  

I think we should let her leadership handle this instead of crucifying her online.

This would of never been know if was not for Social Media.  This is a young kid with no respect for the Customs and Courtesies of the Military.  She should receive an Art-15 and made to stand at the flag poll for 31 Retreats.  Also, she should write an essay on Customs and Courtesies of the Military. 

I have seen this all too often with more recent soldiers who have joined. I even had a roommate who liked to break near every TRADOC rule before he got to my room. He had the same "I just don't care (to keep it PG)" with just about anything after being in the Army less than a year. It honestly baffles, but you have to ask yourself where the attitude was birthed and where it was allowed to grow and everything points to basic training.

Having diagnosed her behaviour, It would be safe to say that PFC Sheffey has Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) comorbid with Antisocial Personality Disorder  (APD) according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, ed. 5 (DSM-v).HPD has a pervasive pattern of attention-seeking behaviour and excessive emotions, excessive sensiitivity to criticism or disapproval; low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification, a need to be the center of attention. This explains the SM's attitude about the entire affair. APD is defined by some of the following symptoms, failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another. There might be evidence of conduct disorder in earlier childhood but those records might be sealed. I am bothered that her NCOs haven't done anything curtail this SM's self-destructive behaviour and it is apparent that she does not want to be in the United States Army or there maybe something more to her actions. 

I see people doing shuffle that all the time running inside to miss the flag or acting like they don't hear it while they drive down the road , has nothing to do with how her ds treated her or leader ship some soldiers just don't give a damn at all shoot she could just be putting on a front and not really hiding in her car while the flag is going off, lol I know the perfect corrective training, flag detail for 6 months lol

what is the problem with our troops these days?  society is at one of the lowest moral' levels it has ever been, no integrity, society as a whole is lacking in a lot of areas. Once they are in the military, most still have no parental guidance, just NCO/ Officers to show them what is right. How can we continue to blame Soldiers for doing stupid things (which of course we all believe they are extremely dumb for doing in the first place) when we have leaders doing this...  --->  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noWwyq9Auyc. Not to mention that we have SR's and Leaders who are still getting DUI's, beating their spouses, so on and so on. I DO believe a lot is on the Soldier because I do not and will not ever say it is the leaders fault a Soldier acts a certain way because you can't control someone... But how can someone constantly say it is just the JR's who are "out there" acting stupid, when SR's are doing dumb things as well, just not always making it into FB? Is this what we mean by "lead by example"?

okay, so someone did beat me to it when I posted this just now. RP, I love the feature that disables you from commenting on a duplicate discussion and instead directs you to the original discussion. VERY cool. Could another feature be added to allow the duplicate poster to delete their topic? Or better yet, before the question actually posts, pop up a warning that says "There is already a discussion like this, are you sure you want to start this topic?" Just a couple of suggestions. Thank you!

Soldiers these days....
