Abstract

This article reports that many soldiers who should be considered mentally or physically unfit for duty are being allowed to remain in the U.S. military and some are even being sent to Iraq. The author cites evidence from the U.S. Pentagon's data which indicates that fewer soldiers are being discharged from service due to mental or physical problems because of a need for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. A profile of soldier David Dietrich, who died in Iraq, is presented.
