It seems if you WANT to get out of the Army, get caught with drugs, it means a discharge
Unfortunately, what the public dosn't hear about, at all, is the amount of soldiers that have been honourably discharged, only to find that they can't cope with civvy life and there is no work.
Up to 35% of ex-squaddies wind up hopelessly unemployed, or homeless and living on the streets.
A sad end for our 'heroes' who at the end of the day are only fellow human beings.
The government MUST give far more help and support to ex-serviceman who have left with a clean record..
Don't throw them on the scrapheap.
A little help is better than none at all.
