A LOT of your fellow vets including one of my best friends say the same. They tell their kids and everyone else not to join. I think a straight White Male would have to be nuts to join today’s military knowing he will be the #1 target of all the wokesters, will be insulted and denigrated constantly and will be considered to be nothing more than cannon fodder for the Neocon elites in one of their forever wars.
Straight White Males died at twice their percentage of the population in Iraq and the Stan which tells you a lot about who is in the frontline combat units. I think its time they stepped back and let a bunch of the trannies and and other Leftists go do the dying in the next war.
Most people in the Army are in support positions. Just like most people in Air Force and Navy are in support positions. A very small percentage actually shoot a gun, fly a helicopter, plane or are in a tank crew.
A buddies son went to Iraq as a air traffic controller. He never stepped outside the air base on the outskirts of Baghdad. If he left the base, it was on an airplane to Kuwait. I asked him once: "So, your entire year in Iraq you never step foot outside of the base? No, he said. That is the job of the Marines or Army Rangers.
