We pride ourselves on having a volunteer armed forces... but how volunteer is it when a solder are has himself shot so that he wouldn't have to go back to Iraq?

If he didn't want to go back why should he have to? I believe he won't make an effective solider and would only bring down the moral of the other men. Okay, maybe he'd make good canon fodder, but I see no reason to add to the 1,299 Americans killed and 9,844 Americans injured in Iraq.

Plus, he had himself shot - so he's obviously not in the best mental condition. The Army should have recognized his mental problems and discharged him long ago.

My opinion is that if somebody like him doesn't want to be part of the war he or she should not have to because that person will only be endangering the lives of the people around him.
