Duh!

A report on the military draft in Finland has several interesting nuggets. I found this the most.
Every second drop-out leaves uniform because of mental health reasons.

Adaptability disorders, anxiety, and psychological problems could have been established already in the initial conscript meeting had there been a better flow of information from the mental health side, Kivelä says.

“Mental health problems and a gun is always a bad combination.”
Kivela is Lieutenant Commander Jyrki Kivelä of the Defence Command Personnel Department.

It's somewhat curious that a guy named Jyrki would be the expert on psychopaths with guns. Honestly, I wonder what Gen. Patton would do.
