100%.   The Corps straightened my teenage crap out, right away. Best decision I ever made. I still marvel that at a point in my life that I was so stupid, I made a very smart decision.

I've seen the military help young men, and I've seen it ruin some, and no, I'm not talking about war.

  I have seen some come out ruined, but most of them ruined themselves (IMO)..Things like addictions, alcoholism etc , are their own choices.

  I do suppose if a recruit is in a weak psychological state, they could cave under the training routine harassment  ..That I must admit could happen.

  .but it seems that would be temporary and transitory.. and is only the result of a problem being brought in..

  War has of course, ruined some....with PTSD..and my heart goes out to them..
