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.
The truth of the fact is that the chances of a serving military personnel becoming a gambling addict is really rare, due to the fact that they are always engaged 24hrs on duty working or been within the presence of a senior officer. While secondly, regarding if does a gambling addiction makes a soldier fit or unfit to be in the military. I can boldly say that inasmuch his/her gambling addiction does not affect his mental, physical and psychological well-being. Then he is totally fit to still continue to be in the military.
If we say a soldier is addicted and he can still go about his usual routine as a soldier, then he is not really addicted. Addiction is a big distraction. It takes away time, money and attention. Any soldier who gets addicted on duty will easily be noticed by others due to his recent behaviour. Although just as you have stated, it will be rare to see an addicted soldier since they are always busy with their time doing one thing or the other.
