second, if a soldier is a gambling addict does this make him unfit to serve in the military anymore? we know that addiction no matter where can make someone illogical and make him do things that he would otherwise never do. i am aware that these machines can cure their boredom but is it the best hobby to provide for their brave soldiers? what do you think?
People gamble and not everyone of them get to addiction. The fact that some people lose control of themselves and get addicted should not deprive others of potential for fun. It is just like some soldiers smoke while others don't, so it doesn't really matter if such machine is drop in the military area and moreover it is not at the war front but at the base where they relax to cool of.
Soldiers are human beings and deserve to given some attention because what they face at the war front is between life and death. So therefore, they should also have a means to leisure. Talking about addiction, I'm such they have command who regulates their activities there. Soldiers are highly discipline people and they obey superior order.
They deserve to have recreational activities in their base where they live their normal life.
