I think this is a great idea, but I believe it would make more sense to do that as a pre-screening to being stationed over here. I wonder if some of these people had warning signs of metal disorders when there were being recruited even, but were let in do to filling quotas!?

They gives ya bunches of tests with big numbers and purty pictures. I did have to take that there IQ one a couple of times befores I passed it, but they was a plenty strict to see that we was a all nice and gentlemanly, before they turned us loose to rape, pillage and plunder and rape again because it was more fun than just pillaging and plundering...
