I know there are several current and past members of the military here and I really hope you guys will clear this up for me.

I heard a guy call in a radio show this morning who was a marine. He said that marines are now being issued "Stress Cards." Supposedly marines, nvay and army in basic can pull a stress card when they feel that the drill sergant is being too mean, or it all just gets too be too much to handle.! I just hope they remember that stress card when the Taliban is cracking shots off in the dark at em.

Please tell me that this isn't true. It sure seems to be like it could be an Urban Legend. Does anyone know for sure??

I did find this online, so hopefully its true. http://www.snopes.com/military/stress.asp

Can anyone here verify?
