That looks like AFN, they make you watch that overseas. I'm sure its factual, which is depressing to say the least.

This is very true, in my 5 years in the Marine Corps infantry, we had 3 suicides overseas in Iraq, and 2 suicides in the garrison in the barracks.
This was back in 04-09. From my understanding by communicating with a few Marine friends that decided to stay in. There has been numerous of suicides from my old unit since I've been out.
Very sad to see usual over a stupid ass dilemma she said he said bullshit.

Cannabis saves life true but, go active duty and smoke cannabis, they'll make you wish you committed suicide with that bad conduct discharge you'll be facing ;)
And time in the brig, which really aint that bad.

Well yeah I don't mean for active duty but even then I think if a guy smoked a joint instead of offing himself it would be a good thing. Temporary problems require temporary solutions. I definitely think it is time to smoke a celebration when you have a discharge in your hand. I also think that once a soldier is suicidal they should be medically discharged with out any type of stigmas.

I agree with everything you said except the "I definitely think it is time to smoke a celebration when you have a discharge in your hand". Well i kinda agree with that as well since i smoked a few bowls in front of my command post the day i hit my ELS :-D but only if its a Honorable discharge. I have numerous of friends that get out with Bad Conduct discharges and it really is a bitch to get a job any where after wards.
I mean, you volunteer your service (free will) so why not just follow the dam rules.

Maybe there shouldn't be such a stigma on weed either.
