Military: Does it create sociopaths?

I'm not defensive, I'm simply frustrated by the ignorance of others.

But I suppose that's my mistake. I'm expecting you to view things on a higher level, you simply don't have the mental resources that I do. You are simply disadvantaged... I'm sorry for that. It's just like trying to teach Darwinian evolution to a 5 year old, you simply have so many connections you've yet to establish and so little actual knowledge on so many things. I suppose it's just easier to nod and say you came from a stork, but in my never ending search for connection in others I hope for some sense of mental equality. But you're just not there yet... and I'm not saying you're stupid, I see that you have at least average intelligence, you are simply missing the knowledge of this topic to make a truly educated view of it.

It's just that this topic isn't as black and white as people like to assume, this is a spectrum of color, but humanity in all it's ignorance finds life easier when they can put things in neat little boxes and catagorize them, it makes life easier for them to understand. but that's not how it works. Just like all of these little tests you post up on this site. While there is some credence to the fact that some people do have certain mental preferences, it doesn't mean you can accurately label them intp, intj, sociopath, psychopath, introvert, extrovert, etc etc...  Psychiatry is what's called a "soft science" which means you need to understand nuance to fully grasp it. This isn't physics and exact science it's closer to art. 

No two humans are exactly the same, and yet we insist on putting those most similar in like boxes... and to some extent this can help us understand them to a degree. but when you blindly go off of these boxes, you throw out the minute details that seperate these people from one another. You cannot account for the ocean of difference in their life shaping experiences. It just doesn't work like that, regardless of what you read on wikipedia none of this shit is 100% it's all shades of grey.

Military: Does it create sociopaths?

As to psych evals, every first world military requires you to take one, but unless you're a complete retard you will usually pass. Obviously if you go in there saying you wanna join to kill rag heads and blow shit up you ain't gonna make it in. but if you are intelligent enough to portray yourself like a high functioning sociopath (with the appearance of normality) you will get in... and regardless In most cases they're checking for disorders that will affect your ability to perform as a soldier, a sociopath would be able to perform that function. Those psych checks are primarily to make sure you don't hear voices or have other psychological conditions that could be detrimental to your ability to serve (intense anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, multiple personality, etc). and i never said the military was rejecting sociopaths, that's your oppinion in fact I would love to see an anything you can find on the military rejecting someone for being sociopathic.

and if you think few sociopaths join the military, just do a quick google search for "sociopath military" google pulls up several hundred thousand entries...

Ofcourse you don't work, you're a low functioning sociopath...  which explains why you can't grasp what i'm telling you...

Do I need to fully articulate? Are you so stupid that you cannot infer what I'm saying without spoon feeding you information like an infant?

Like I said before dexter, the would would be so much better if you just killed yourself, you know you want too... I even have some pills you could O/D on... just come pay me a visit and we'll dome your body in an alley way like the trash that you are.

No need to be sorry. Your delusions aren't my problem.

 

but in my never ending search for connection in others

Right, of course. I keep forgetting that your a sociopath that likes to emotionally connect with others. You must be the huggable, warm and fuzzy kind of sociopath. A rare breed indeed.

At no stage did I claim that every sociopath can be put into the same box. So, why you got so defensive here that you felt the need to bring all this up is beyond me.

The fact that you must pass a psych eval to get in is a pretty clear indicator that sociopaths are not welcome in the military. Do you honestly think the military wants people in there who don't like following the rules, who are irresponsible, reckless and and have no desire to be team players?

I'd call you an idiot for being so naive, but why stoop to your level...

Do you think the only thing they check on a psych eval is whether or not someone is sociopathic? Are you really that fucking moronic?
