MONTANA — Wow! Somewhere in the woods of Montana, General Field Commander Ted Haskins is showing the world that with enough hard work and dedication, you can live your dreams no matter what the naysayers throw at you!
When Haskins tried to enlist in the Army in 2004, 2006 and 2007, recruiters, medical officers and family members threw around words like “documented history of bipolar disorder with delusions of grandeur, manic phases and paranoia.” But Haskins knows how to make your dreams your goals and your goals your reality! If the army wasn’t going to take him on, he’d take on the army!
What an inspiration! There are so many entitled millennials who expect everything to be awesome all the time. But when Haskins didn’t get handed a trophy just for trying to join the Army, he went to the internet to find other like-minded, hardworking men the overreaching U.S. Government had rejected and alienated. Awesome!
