I remember that my screening process in the officer stream was a discussion with the major, who basically had a conversation with me and, at the end of it, asked if I was able to kill somebody. To me, that's not an adequate screening process. This was only in 2009, I think.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9279972\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Is there a more enhanced screening process now?</p>",
