The “Qualifications” don’t matter when you impose BS Rules of Engagement, and corrupt the mission, by asking our troops to change the local culture.

It’s fairly common knowledge that our population of military-age young men, who qualify for the military, is declining,”
...........................................................
Bullsh*t

There are plenty who qualify, just not too many willing to sign up to spend year after year being sent back into a combat zone.Not too willing to be prosecuted for doing their duty as they see it. Not too many willing to go back to foreign shitholes 3 or 4 times .Not too many willing to serve alongside openly homosexual soldiers.Not too many willing to have their legs and arms blown off while they cannot see the enemy that is killing and wounding them.Not too many willing to train the people that turn on them and kill them. Not too many who are willing to fight a political limited war where there is no win.

“Too many potential male recruits have criminal records, drop out of high school or have drug problems. In addition, the rising obesity rate is also a factor.”

They’re also sick of a country that hates them and the constitution. Why would they want to lose limbs overseas to have Obama take credit for any victory, for them to be blamed by future children for terrorist attacks, as per their education videos?

Translation;

The base for the Armed forces has been long been conservative males, and now that homosexuals serve openly in the ranks, that base no longer finds the PC military as attractive. So now the PC military must scour the bottom of the barrel to make up for the losses.

They’re setting the Sheeple up for reinstatement of the “Draft”.

I don’t recommend today’s military to anyone. The ramifications of the repeal of DADT and the muzzling of Christian chaplains on the subject portend bad things for the future.

+1.

My concerns lie with the rules of engagement, they put our soldiers at greater risk.

I'm more disappointed in our military leadership than I am the CinC, but not by much.

Bernard Rostker, a former undersecretary of defense for personnel, says he's doubtful many young women will choose those careers.

Well, they wanted this... once they sign up, put 'em there, anyway.

You want some good men???

Raise the immigration quotas for Serbians, Copts, Sikhs and other anti-Muslim males. They know how to fight and make good soldiers.

Women are NOT fighters and killers - with a few glaring exceptions.

Gee, I wonder why male recruiting is down.

. . . maybe it's because they'll have to live in barracks with homosexuals

. . . or maybe they'll have to learn to look out for the women in their foxholes before they can look out for themselves

. . . or maybe because their so-called Commander in Chief is an illegal alien, horribly anti-American fraud?

. . . or maybe because they'll be court-marshaled if they don't fire on and kill their fellow civilian citizens?

My God . . . have we all gone to hell?

Unfortunately, you and I know the answer.

This is so ignorant.
Name another country that is putting women in front line combat positions. And Isreal doesn’t count. We are not surrounded by insane muslims determined to eliminate us.
We are ruled by one though.

What to do? Put all the women into ready reaction forces and have a rotation schedule so that they’re all on PMS at the time. Put gays in their own units and let them paint their gear whatever color they want so they’ll be happy. Hold the “straights” in reserve so that the girls and poofters can have a chance to prove themselves under combat conditions. You folks wanted recognition? You’ve got it. Now, LEAD from the front!

i am a very proud US Infantry vet (11c1p) who served under Reagan and there is no way in h#ll i would let my son join the ranks of today. military leadership is all political appointees and words cannot fully vent the disdain i have for the so called CIC. i will not sacrifice my son in the name of the madness that is 21st century America.

USN Vet here and I agree with you.
I would do nothing to encourage ANY of my grandchildren to join today’s Military.
Once they turn 18, that may be their choice but they certainly would not get my backing, though I would support them personally....(where have we heard that before)? <: <:

Yup, the phrase “rear echelon” takes on a whole new meaning.

No longer is it, “In the rear with the gear”. It is now, “In the rear with the queers”.
