Peoples Concerns Regarding Innacurate Military Discharge

By Laura Scott


Over the years, military discharges have been used as a good way of initiating good conduct in the military. More so, there are special discharges that have been used as a means of appreciating the well-performing men and women of the army. However, in the past countable decades, there has been a rise in the number of innacurate military discharge cases which hardens the life of a person while out of service since they make one not liable to their benefits of service.

It is important to note that most of the veterans who believed that they were discharged inappropriately say that the reasons for their discharge did not relate to them at all. There are other sad cases where a soldier would be dismissed for doing the appropriate thing.

Most discharged officers seem to believe that the increased rates of discharging are a scheme by the service. It is said that these releases are used to get rid of officers who seem to be stubborn or troublesome within the service. It is also an advisable way to reduce the cost of paying medical and any other retiring benefit.

It has raised the suspicion of many not only the veterans but also commoners that the reason behind the discharging of most veterans of late has been either personality disorders or even adjustment disorders. The coincidence is shocking. These two health concerns are very secretive and cannot be easily reviled by looking at the said patient. It is only a psychiatrist who can be able to diagnose confidently and make a conclusion.

During deployment or even while in camps, there are many reported cases of sexual assault. The rules of the military call for one to come out in the event of such a violation. However, most of the victims will opt to bear the trauma on their own. The few who seem to come forward will be branded to be troublesome. In their next medical tests, there are very high chances that they will be reported to suffer from these disorders.

The process of getting one discharge is also another area that the victims feel is not well taken care of. There are well-elaborated procedures that the discharge process must follow including a trial by the martial. However, these steps seem to be intentionally skipped as a way of speeding up the process making one have a time of knowing what is going on around but just forced to sign the documents.

Since the year 2010, there has been a notable reduction of these inaccurate discharges. The decline in these cases can be mainly attributed to the fact that the Senate had intervened into this matter. It is important to note that the initial veterans experienced worse than this. During their times, the dismissal was targeted to those officials who seemed to be smarter than their superiors.

There have been new changes in the DoD governing the discharging of the military personnel. These new changes specify the right channels that can be used for one to challenge their discharge. If filled at the right time, one can appeal for their discharge to be upgraded. There are still worries if this new guideline will be helpful to the veterans already serving their dismissal.
