Army lifts ban on waivers for recruits with history of some mental health issues
The ban had barred the Army from accepting soldiers with a history of self-mutilation, bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse.

I guess the US army is running low on recruits, so they have to hire more.
This is more or less a rerun of "McNamara's morons", where US army threw mentally ill men into the Vietnam war with catastrophic results.
What comes next? Paraplegic recruits in flying wheelchairs?
Similar story in Europe nowadays where they are lowering their standards more and more because they lack able bodied men.
