I resigned my commission in 2015 after struggling with the decision to leave or stay. While sometimes I wish I would have stayed another year or two I’m 100% glad I’m now out. The climate appears to be untenable in today’s military. The sad part is what’s going in the military is spreading to corporate America as well meaning in a few years the climate there will also be untenable.
I can’t quit my job and work for myself fast enough.
How long do you expect it to be before both entities, the military and the corporate world, start recruiting their members (minions) from the large numbers of single, young men and women who are pouring across our southern border?
As far as the military goes, bring them in, radicalize them, train them, and then how hard will it be to set them against natural-born Americans when the time is right? I hope I’m wrong, but it seems like too much of a coincidence that this is happening in conjunction with our borders being thrown wide-open to illegal immigrants.
Honestly, I would not advise any young person to join the US military these days. And, it is not just the Army... all branches are affected.
I worked for defense contractors. The last one for 33 years. They were going woke faster than the military and I could not take it anymore. Most of the senior enginnering staff left within about a 3-year period, including me.
One thing that made me decide to leave after 5 1/2 years was that I noticed every assignment had an idiot who outranked me. I can imagine it’s much worse now with this woke stuff.
