    The military has been discharing vets with TBI (brain trauma from proximity to explosions) due to “a pattern of misconduct”. If you had your bell rung, and been through what combat vets go through, your conduct would likely fit such a pattern. The military is geared to moving forward with everyone that can help with its military agenda while dismissing anyone who can’t. Fine, dismiss them honorably, not for “a pattern of misconduct”. Our troops have seen too many tours of combat and that is where TBI, PTSD, and “a pattern of misconduct” came from. Let’s take care of them, honorably!
