“First the people joining are good people but some are not suited and should not be in the military, PC is killing the military.”
There is your answer. It is WHO they military is trying to recruit, not what happens to them after they join up. I know people that have to work the behavioral health centers for the military and their take is that the military seems to be getting a lot of crybabies, the ‘Gen X/Y/WhyMe’ crowd. As a corporate person I see this, too. If you don’t pat these kids on the head every day and tell them what good boys and girls they are they have ‘meltdowns’, just like they did when they were little kids. No personal discipline whatsoever, just the Dr. Spock routine. If these kids took a dump on the living room rug mommy would pat them on the head and say, “Gosh, bobby, I hope you can make the bathroom next time.”
I have kids, two of them are boys, one turned 15 last week.
I see the kids about him, who go to his school who are in the ROTC.
I see my yongest when playing soccer and the boys who play with him.
I swear we have raised boys for the most part of soft little mamby pamby band aid for the boo boo cry babies.
We make it easy for them to join and some of who I see serving on the base here stuns me.
How the hell does a 200 pound woman at 5 foot 5 get to join?
The left wanted cross dressers, homosexuals, tulip lickers in the military.
FOr some reason the left hates tough, physical men who can fight and actually like fighting.
Time our side raised our sons to be future men and understand the military is not what they think it is
That’s what happens when everybody gets a trophy for “playing” the game instead of “winning” the game. We all have to be able to face the fact that we might lose, but we will never, never give up the fight.
The Marines I know will never give up. They love each other and would die and kill for each other. That is for each other. I’ll say it again, that is for each other. When they are no longer together, they see the real world socialists who are so immature, they see a Commander-In-Chief bowing, they see their generals issue orders to NOT shoot the enemy, they see other generals getting caught sending 10’s of thousands of emails while they have to patrol through IED infested roads and watch the natives crap in public, while they talk to the people they really love once a week at best for 10 - 15 minutes, they eat MRE’s and sleep on the ground in the winter and 120* summers, they see their best friends shot and die when the medical helo’s can’t get in because they are targets and are not armed, they see their enemy smirk at them because of the Rules of Engagement set up so that their movements are communicated by cell phone by the farmer who meets with the commanders, they see their buddy lose his legs or burned and you have the gall to say they are cry babies? I pray to God that you have ONE bloody nightmare of all that they experience and we will see who wakes up crying and sweating and pissing his pants.
