The Increased Concerns Of Innacurate Military Discharge

By Laura Scott


Every military in the world uses military discharges as the unique way to maintain good behavior among the army units. Additionally, these discharges can be given to the officers who perform well in their duty as a way of appreciation. This is no longer the case, though. More soldiers keep on complaining that their discharges were not rightful. The number of innacurate military discharge is on the rise. It should be noted that there are discharges which make one benefit from the retirement benefits.

It is important to note that most of the veterans who believed that they were discharged inappropriately say that the reasons for their discharge did not relate to them at all. There are other sad cases where a soldier would be dismissed for doing the appropriate thing.

Most discharged officers seem to believe that the increased rates of discharging are a scheme by the service. It is said that these releases are used to get rid of officers who seem to be stubborn or troublesome within the service. It is also an advisable way to reduce the cost of paying medical and any other retiring benefit.

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.

To most veterans, sexual assault seems to be the best horror that our men and women appear to suffer from their colleagues and even their superiors. It expected that one reports such incidence. To most victims, the best option is to maintain silent as reporting may create bad blood between one and their superiors. The few who report have found themselves discharged on the grounds of suffering from personality disorders.

The cause of discharging is not only the point of consideration: there is the process of discharging also that should be looked upon. During the discharging process, there is a well-elaborated chain of steps that must be taken before dismissing one of their duties. However, there is a new way of handling this where not all the steps are not followed. The process is usually rushed to avoid the minor details that may make the victim innocent.

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.

The innervation of the Senate into this matter led to a review of DoD policies related to discharging of officers. With these new guidelines, one is assured for a successful appeal of their discharge. If one appeals within the first six months after the dismissal, they can be able to have their discharge upgraded. It is however not an assurance of these new policies will apply to those already discharged
