The military severely fucks up peoples' minds. Perhaps it can cause GD-like symptoms, or weaken someones' mental health so if they have it mild they can't manage it anymore when they could before.

False. The actual answer is the USA is so desperate for new recruits they even let sickos in

In the years leading up to Don't Ask Don't Tell getting repealed, there were gay soldiers and marines who were being outed but still kept their jobs because there weren't enough recruits and too many servicemen leaving as soon as their contracts were up. Bradley Manning for instance made little to no effort to hide the fact he is gay when he was in the military and he remained a soldier until he exposed some of the US government's power levels.

He did. He’s a headcase. But even a headcase can see that the US federal government is fucked up.
