Army To Lower Divorce Rates By Training Soldiers Not To Marry Strippers

THE PENTAGON — Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley today announced the results of an exhaustive study conducted by the RAND Corporation aimed at understanding and lowering the divorce rates of soldiers.
“Going in, our assumption was that long and frequent deployments were the root cause of the higher than average divorce rates of our soldiers,” Milley said. “It turns out, instead, there’s a very high correlation between the frequency of a spouse removing their clothes in exchange for money and the divorce rate.”
Milley continued, “We also saw a spike in divorces when the spouse regularly uses methamphetamine and stays away from home for days at a time. We are still looking into this other phenomena.”
Dr. Philip Lynch, RAND Director of Research, noted, “The findings surprisingly didn’t support our initial assumptions.”
Lynch says that RAND has supplied Army Training Command with a new program to educate single soldiers during boot camp and then to be renewed annually.
“We really want the soldiers to be alert for five major warning signs,” Milley said. “If they can just remember these, they’ll be fine.”
Lynch said the warning signs are, “First, your fiancee or spouse frequently returns home from work with large stacks of one-dollar bills.”
“Second, you may want to be cautious if your spouse or fiancee was nude when you met her,” he continued. “Third, your fiancee insists she is saving money for medical school when in fact she dropped out of high school or middle school.”
Lynch says that the last two are “a strident insistence” that you purchase at least two drinks prior to speaking to her and then ordering champagne themselves, and then immediately jumping to her feet and taking off her shirt when Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me” comes on the radio.
Milley concluded the briefing by noting that while the five warning signs apply mainly to soldiers interested in women, those interested in men need to be cautious, too.
“If he tells you he just needs some time to ‘get back on his feet’ and ‘I’ll be a great stepdad, now get naked,’ it may be time to seek other companionship,” Milley said.

Yeah those Meth users really age fast like twenty years in only one. I'd get a divorce too before your house was condemned and you are left with nothing.
The police these days will condemn the whole house if they want to saying it is unfit for living. They pretty much do anything they want to. A local police officer in the upstate of South Carolina ran up to the driver side of someone parked in the parking lot and shot and killed the unarmed driver and he's getting off saying he feared for his life because the car moved towards him. Most of the time, it appears the police get away with murder unless there is not a shadow of doubt that it was cold blooded and completely unjustified. They withheld video of the killing as well until it died down in the news. If you asked me, it was unjustified murder. The unmarked and not uniformed officer ran up to a parked car and literally opened fire before the guy got more than 10 or 15 feet and he was standing on the side of the car. What would you do if some guy ran up to you with gun drawn looking like he might shoot you? Try to drive away? Apparently if you are at the wrong place at the wrong time, the police can justify murder saying they feared for their life even against unarmed people attempting to leave or just sitting in a parking lot.
