In addition, as a defender of Freedom, over 50 percent of the American population I no longer want to defend. The stupid, the lazy, the elites who's children would never serve, the gimmiedats, ect.
I'm tired of pulling their fat asses.

Want to guess who is most likely to be drafted and who would most likely to fail the mental and physically requirements to be in the military? Somehow I believe the burden would fall disproportionally on Whites and Asians.

When I was serving my Country, women were in their appropriate support roles.
Homosexuals would get their asses kicked, and would be begging for a discharge.
Transsexuals didn't exist then, and if they did they would get similar treatment.
My Military kicked ass and took names, we killed the enemy without any regrets.
I miss my America.

A proper extract of the article would look like this:
Five Reasons the US Military Is in Trouble
1- The Air Force is short 4,000 maintainers and more than 700 pilots today.
2- In 2015 the Navy had a backlog of 11 planes in depot, next year in 2017 they are going to have a backlog of 278.
3- Less than one-third of the Army is ready to meet the requirements of the Defense Strategic Guidanceits supposed to be no less than two-thirds.
4- Marine Corps aviation requires on average 10 hours of flight time a month and they are getting about four.
5- Less than half of the Air Force combat forces are ready to face a peer competitor such as China and Russia.

Very good. Now consider what would happen to our feminized ground forces if we faced a war like Korea?

Yeah, forced servitude. That’s the answer./s
Who would want their kid, (and now it’ll include daughters) to serve in a military saturated with homosexuality, anti American thought, pro islamist sentiment...etc?
If the military is going to be culturally -American-, and used for our nations defense, then fine to a point. But a drafted army is a very poor choice for wars of convenience and empire policing. Libya no, Syrian regime change no, central Africa no.

Well said.
If Hitlery was to become president, she would use our military exclusevely to promote and protect the Globalist Agenda.
I’ll stand by to aid AWOL troops whose lives were at risk for no good reason and under such bad ROE’s that they were in imminent threat of death, etc.
I’m a Vietnam combat vet and never thought I’d say that.

As of this week, at least 701 pilots short and counting. It is very bad.
