No, I'm not "quite happy" about it, it's more money spent on something other than the core mission.

ORAC, you're offering opinion as to the military being an agent of social change. While it has in the past, so has professional sports by integrating the game, yet that's not it's goal, making money is. The military doesn't need additional distractions from the mission. Taking in depressed youth who are joining the further their transition needs is a burden on the mission.


Edited, the US department of defense mission statement mentions nothing about affecting social change.
