I only ask how did this young man’s recruiter think that he could get away with this, that it wouldn’t be discovered? He’s a jerk, to be sure, but this is inexcusable.<\/p>\n

From the article:\u00a0 The Army has launched an inquiry into the circumstances that led a 19-year-old on anxiety medication who was diagnosed with autism and congenital arm disorders to report for basic combat training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina<\/a>, this August.<\/p>\n

\n

The young man\u2019s father told Army Times that he has been trying to help return his son to their hometown in Idaho by reaching out to service officials and congressional representatives. After his son reported for basic training on Aug. 20, he began having anxiety attacks and was quickly separated from his\u00a0basic training unit<\/a>\u00a0to be out-processed for not disclosing his myriad of diagnosed disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both the father and son say that his\u00a0Army recruiter\u00a0<\/a>encouraged him to hide potentially disqualifying factors in order to enlist as a human resources specialist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cU.S. Army Recruiting Command<\/a> has initiated an inquiry into this situation, and appropriate action will be taken when all facts are known,\u201d Lisa Ferguson, the chief spokeswoman for the service\u2019s recruiting command, told Army Times. – article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We tend to take for granted our reasonably good health, and we’d notice it if we couldn’t do something as simple as turn one hand palm up, but this young man couldn’t do that because of his physical affliction.\u00a0 It is a shame, because he obviously wanted to be part of something worthwhile.<\/p>\n

The obvious question is simple: how in the blue-eyed blinking world did the recruiter think these things would not<\/em> be noticed?<\/p>\n
