Women enter a profession and then men exit.
Think about the DC swamp after the men leave.
“The Army dropped the standards to allow women to graduate. Why would any young man want to join the Army to one day serve in Special Forces, when your great-grandma could become a Green Beret?”
how is this bad ?
At some point a real enemy is going to kick us right in our PC teeth.
“I really dont see Russia as a threat, but China is a huge one, especially given the fact were in debt to them for trillions and they are busily buying up strategic properties and ports around the world.”
And the Chinese have to buy their way in. Whereas plenty of countries just invite our troops in. Because nobody, but nobody, trusts China enough to host their troops. We have no designs on anyone’s territory. China is a whole nother story.
The real worry is China’s fairly large military expenditures and the raft of new military equipment that has followed decades of increased spending. Its capabilities are catching up to its ambitions.
I think our younger male generation needs a shot of testosterone...of course, I hear that's in short supply nowadays....
Institute the draft!! It will force these little spoiled socialist minded whiners to grow up and either take responsibility for themselves or flunk out of society all together. Most other western countries have some kind of required two year service to their country right out of high school or after college. The status quo is obviously not cutting it.
It is the demasculiztion of our society. If children participate in sports intending to win we tell them they are brutal animals. People say ragging on losers is mean, yes it is. But it often inspires them and others to do better. That is called motivation. Some times it takes negative motivation. Also I saw where students can’t have outside events because its to dangerous. So all you students hide in your rooms eating and idle. Get fat and stay weak.
Yes they would but yet they are too ignorant or just plain dumb to realize a draft would never work in this modern society we have.
"I said say UNCLE not Aunt"!!
You would not know that China is actually the biggest threat to us by the way that Russia is currently being portrayed.
I recommended to all three of my macho, patriot sons that they avoid the military due to the political correctness and the fact that during their “time” Obama was CIC.
Sad to do it. Would have been proud to have my sons serve.
But it’s not America any more. Until they change their standards where a sane patriot can serve without hiding his values, well, the sane patriots are very disincentivized to join. I mean it doesn’t pay well, it’s hard, and you can get yourself hurt or killed, not to mention see horrors.
Add to this the despicable way the VA has treated veterans for decades. Shameful.
I agree o buckeye there are fine young men in the service. I appreciate them. I was just explaining that fine young men are motivated to serve in a healthy, fair, masculine atmosphere. And we don’t have that right now.
The coercive utopian marxists want to institute ‘National Service’ in which every person over eighteen would be required to serve two to three years either in the military or a ‘civil branch ‘. This is how Oboma’s national police army could be staffed.
The consequences of Leftism.
Destroy Leftism, save the Country.

In fact, you have the State of California entering into illegal treaties with Communist China, and no one says anything.
I joined the Army, the Infantry, because it was manly and the infantry kicked but and took names. Now, it is simply wussified and PC. How could anyone stand it!?
God bless our troops. Theyve got a tough job made harder by PC police and women in combat arms. Men cant even be men in the Military any more.
I remember that my Dad had that book! (”This Kind Of War”) I don’t know what happened t it, though. He passed away in 1970, but his book was still on a shelf in the storeroom of our old house.
Retiring at the end ofthe month from After 32 years. Glad to go..
Social Justice shits inside the wire - even in SOCOM!
Its not my Army anymore.
