So is our CINC going to discharge soldiers not good with their money?  Pink slips for cops?

I really can't see how money handling skills and gun skills are in any way connected, and to violate people's rights on what doesn't even amount to a hunch is just ridiculous.

Probably because you are comparing someone who doesn't know how to balance a checkbook to someone who can't take care of their own affairs due a mental problem.

I'm just answering Fred who said it makes sense just on the basis on not handling their money well.

It might help if you answered this question.  What would cause a person to be so incapable of handling their own money that the Social Security board would appoint a guardian to receive their check?  Do you have any clue how far gone a person has to be to have a guardian appointed?
