The Increased Concerns Of 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.

Most veterans have been complaining that the discharges they received had no relation to what they did while in service. There are some who lament that they received wrongful discharges for actually doing the right thing which is disheartening considering the sacrifices these soldiers get to make to keep the country safe.

To the majority of these officers, the growing number of wrongful discharges is a plot by the high and mighty in the army. It has been adopted as the most efficient way of reducing the amount of money used to pay for the retirement benefits of veterans like medication.

The commonest reasons for such incorrect discharges are personality or adjustment disorders. These two conditions have been used since it is only the armys psychiatrist who can make the conclusion that ones mental capacity is not fit for any service delivery in the task force. Most of the soldiers who believed that they were dismissed inappropriately had either of these two conditions used as a reason for their relieve of duty.

Sexual assault is a major misconduct within the army. The regulations of military call for victims to be strong and reported an incidence of assault that happens to them. However, this is not the case most victims opt to stay silent since coming out to report will in most cases make you viewed as troublesome and eventually make you be discharged by being termed to suffer from personality 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 changes in the military DoD on the laws governing the discharging of these officers. These new laws give room for one to successfully appeal their discharge or make it upgraded within the first 180 days after their discharge. The channels to be followed have been well specified. However, there are unanswered questions regarding the veterans who had been dismissed before the making of these new regulations.
