I'm pleased that a Mexican judge knows the MX constitution. And Yeager could be resuming treatment for PTSD. Most likely substituting VA meds
for street meds in TJ. Clearly a disturbed and broken Marine.
He needs an Intervention (by other Marines) willing to kick his behind and straighten him out. Stop all VA meds and partake in a daily regimen of
Cannabis. Indica Dominant Hybrid 70%/ Sativa 30%. Or, Willie's Reserve. (In Colorado, Cannabis Medical Card for PTSD is about to pass.
Maybe not.)
The Scout/Sniper Basic Course is about a 4 month process. Only Marines with a high level of maturity gets through. Candidates come from a 2
