I just want somebody out there to read my life's story before I pull this trigger tonight...

My friend...you must have misunderstood my comments or post. It's okay though, we're all human.

I was never in the armed forced.

I only realized my dream to be in the USA Military after I found myself...after subjecting myself to mental health treatment that disqualifies myself from the USA Military.

I'm a dual citizen of Canada and USA.

I could travel back to Canada and have a clean record. In Canada, we have a human rights act. The Canadian Military can join the Armed Forces with Mental Illness without discrimination, as long as they past the standards.

Here in the USA where I was raised, anybody that has suffered mental pain is DQ's for any history of such conditions etc...

In Canada we have to make a "educated guess" how they're condition would affect military service.

In the US the "most free country" we ban anybody with ANY HISTORY of illness, without predicting how it would or would not affect their career.
