The Military needs to start a large separation of their alcoholic and

drug addicts ( dirt bags) General Anderson of Ft Carson condones drug

and alcohol use is his command, he and his 4id command are the

definition of dirt bag soldiers.. A soldier is only as strong or weak as

their command... Ft. Carson deploys troubled soldiers with out a second thought of anything but the paper work it would take to separate soldiers.. So called Leaders like General Anderson and his 4id command breed troubled soldiers with their look the other way policies...
