Gambling is free for everyone for them to deal with, it is really just that understandable that there would really be the right time for a certain individual to make up some such actions on which we know that it is really that too dumb when you do play on the time that you are on work or duty. Gambling game could really be able to relieve out that stress on which of course its not something that will really be that
disrupt you on doing your job well. Also come in mind about to those situations that gambling could worsen up on the stress that you are really that feeling on. Why?
Losing money is something a stressful stuff and if you do find yourself having some problems about losing money then gambling isnt for you. Gambling on vacant time and theres no issue
with that but on the moment that you do gamble in working hours then expect that there would really be such problem.

Eight Hundred years ago King Richard enacted a law that restricted his soldiers from gambling during wartime. This was because it was observed that soldiers used gambling to overcome the stress of war.

Recently Ukrainian Pavlo Petrychenko soldier put forward a petition calling on Kyiv to address concerns about gambling among its battle-worn soldiers. Online gambling and access to mobile phones have made it very easy for soldiers to engage in betting under any condition.  His concern was that soldiers were falling into debt; of gambling firms using patriotic-themed advertising and tactics to target soldiers' business, and of possible security threats from Russian casino sites.

His observation was supported by many Ukrainians who signed the petition and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saw the need to control the gambling behavior of soldiers. Ukrainian higher authorities have since ordered officials to ban soldiers from all gambling activities and to put Ukraine's gambling industry under tighter control.

Now, do you think soldiers who have left home for a long time and are going through boredom should be restricted from engaging in gambling which helps reduce their stress? If gambling does not have any effect on their performance on the waterfront and they gamble responsibly, do you think there should be restrictions?

Gambling has it own advantage and disadvantages and it is good we understand what we are in for.
The military personnels might see it as a way to ease stress due to their activities and loneky lifestyles most especially.
For many people that are into gambling, it advisable for one to bet once in a while even though it has to be often, it doesn't have to be an everyday activities. Involving in gambling activities every single day can become fun in a while and later becomes an addiction that could make us lose more if we are not always lucky or skillful.

Actually there is no prohibition on gambling but there must be limits and responsibilities,
It is possible that there are many soldiers who gamble not only for entertainment and it has disturbed their activities, it can be said to be addicted if they are in debt,
Therefore, their government always reminds and alternatively limits them from gambling

Because anyone will need some activities to entertain themselves when they are in certain circumstances such as boredom or stress due to life or pressure in job, whether he is soldier or police officer, he definitely needs entertainment.
But regarding all the risks and impacts that you mentioned, I think it is not necessary to worry too much because they started it just for entertainment and soldier is disciplined person who even has responsible attitude so that they know the limits and how to control themselves when gambling.
A person personality and attitude will always affect all the risks and impacts of gambling, so far I have never heard of soldier doing stupid things and various serious problems due to gambling addiction.

The prohibition of gambling for the military should be done by the highest military leadership and not government officials, because the army is most often a separate body with its own laws and rules. If soldiers are in a combat zone, games should definitely be prohibited, since there is already increased stress there, and if a player systematically loses, then this will definitely not lead to anything good.In his free time from service, let him do whatever he wants.

Soldiers are human being too and they are freedom to gamble sometimes most of these things makes them to forget about the stress and sometimes not thinking much about the dead of there mate at the war front but they should be inform about the danger in gambling how there emotions and anger could be control since they are always with AK 47 rifle and dager in other not to increase more of their stress the sadness of losing in gambling could make a soldier with a gun to what he or she is not suppose to do for me it will better if it will be possible to restrict them from placing bet or gambling especially soldiers with anger issues.

I agree with you, it is even better not to gamble, because indirectly they are already under pressure, so gambling will add more pressure to them, which will make their emotions uncontrolled, it is better for them not to gamble and for their safety.
