Institutionalization doesn’t necessarily mean prison. He’s done nothing that would put him in prison for any significant time in the slightest.
Again, based on my theory that he needs structure and order, if he makes another team and commits to a disciplined lifestyle. That’s the best case scenario. I just don’t think right now there’s anybody that’s willing to take the risk on him.
If I were part of his life I would urge him to first get some counseling and psychological help, snd then go into the armed forces. Assuming again, that he is a person that needs structure and order. Which may be an incorrect assumption on my part, but I’ve seen people like him before, and there are some, not all, that respond to strict discipline and order.
