Are Stress Cards For Real

What is a military stress card?

I'm not sure how much truth is behind the stress card. However a stress card is only used in boot camp if your drill instructor or RDC is pushing you too hard or you start freaking out you use the stress card and you get a break. The reason why I don't know if it's a true thing or not is because while I was in the military I kept hearing about younger people getting out of boot camp talking about stress cards. I've never physically had one and I didn't know about it until 5 years later.. With that being said if the military was handing out stress cards and people were actually using them they shouldn't be in the military in the first place. If your in the middle of a war or flight operation or rescue mission do you think everything around you is going to stop because you got stressed? So if it's real that's what it's meant to be.

With stress cards, funding for trans reassignment, the idea of waivers for mental illness, and woman in the infantry, how will the US Army fair against a competent and well equipped conventional army in a future war?

Why do you suggest that the elements listed above will undermine the effectiveness of the American military?Stress Cards: Stress Cards have been in place for more than a decade. Are you implying that those who have been fighting overseas since 2003 are mentally weak?Trans Reassignment: What difference does it make to you if someone behind the lines is a man or a woman? Further, what difference does it make to you if the change from a man to a woman. Are you suggesting that this might make them less effective at their administrative/ support duties?Waivers for Mental Illness: A: Do you want a mentally ill person on the front lines? There are plenty enough people who -want- to be there without saddling them with people who are either emotionally unhealthy or inclined to malinger.Plus, a lot of our service folk are coming back with PTSD. Is this not a worthwhile reason for them to get some help? Have you heard of the 22 movement? According to statistics, 22 veterans die by suicide or substance abuse every day. Mental illness is a real problem for our combat veterans, and it has been for centuries. Just because they don’t quietly drink themselves to death like they did in the ’50s doesn’t mean they are lesser men.Women in the Infantry: I’m not sure if you have been keeping up on military technology for the past hundred years, but the modern military uses rifles. Rifles project small pieces of metal at high speeds using chemical propellants. The relative strength of the service person wielding the rifle does not have any impact whatsoever on its effectiveness. This is true of just about any piece of American war material up until the bayonet.Women are weaker than men? Generally, yes. However, you and I both served with little, -little- ass dudes who would tear your throat out if you fucked with them. “It ain’t the size of the dog in the fight…”It seems like you have some pretty old fashioned ideas about the military and masculinity in general. That’s your business.To answer your question: the proof is in the pudding: the American military is as strong as ever.To go one step further, any well equipped conventional army we might face in the future would be dominated by the United States’ unparalleled air superiority.There are women serving as combat pilots too, by the way.
