Remember this when we get our ass handed to us on the battlefield

And on the subject of WHEN, we get our asses handed to us on the battlefield, all of our military services are having trouble recruiting and it's getting worse every year.


A General testified before Congress and said that only 23% of people 18 to 24 could get into our military if they wanted to. Either to fat or to stupid with many high school graduates having no reading proficiency at a high school level.


On top of that, there is this, "18 years want to learn how to kill the enemy not learn every bodies pronouns". Our military is not meant to be a social experiment with the "right" amount of men, women, transsexuals and non binary persons.


Upon hearing this news, I have no doubt China is moving up their time line for world domination.

All part of the plan to get to an Army that will be willing to train it's weapons on US citizens. The Democrats plan to rule over whatever the Chicoms leave to them.
Wouldn’t it be something if the Draft had to be reinstated.

As one who was drafted, I can say that even though they put me in a uniform and sent me off to fight, I was always a civilian at heart.

They can’t do the job physically, can’t pass a simple basic skills test, or can’t pass the drug screening. These are good jobs too, easily into the six figures with some OT and shift differential, that only require a high school education.

No one is asking you to kill someone at US Steel. Think about that. You take a standard 18 year old, give them training, send them to some shit hole country, and order them to kill people if necessary. They do that for a few years and then they come home. We hand them a final paycheck, a couple of stripes, a medal and tell them to rejoin humanity that may never understand what you were a part of.
That life is not for everyone. In fact, a very small percentage of men or women could pull it off. Some will be better at coping and others not so good. Then the social justice types start throwing other things into the mix; can I engage, should I fire, how do I feel about this, will my peers back home accept me, am I part of an approved action, will the powers that be (our government) take care of me as promised or will they try to fuck me over for that they wanted me to do? And you can't even go home and buy a drink.

Well, yeah. I was just pointing out that it’s not only the military having issues recruiting, and the general state of youngins. From what I’m told, recruiting is only part of the problem. They can’t keep O2-O5s or E3-E7s, even offering huge retention bonuses, who are arguably the most important and difficult to replace guys.

And with this new Generation Z coming up, I doubt we will be able to fund an Army at all, so yeah, we will absolutely have to re-instate the draft but what good would it do to ask people to fight for a country they don't believe in because of what they have been taught by the WOKE their entire life?
