Who the hell would join a woke military?
Who the hell can salute that talking turd in the White House?
How about little willy Milley?
Any officer or enlisted that insists on pronouns should not only be kicked out, but subjected to ridicule before and after doing so. “My pronouns are” = “I’m an ignorant dumbass.”
Bring back the draft.
That would be an interesting SCOTUS case with the country not being at war.
While in the military a good joke: Wanna hear a good ph—c story? Read your contract with the government.
Nothing motivates pilots to stay on top of the game better than perceived bad faith betrayal by their govt, and 3 years of involuntary servitude
Very soon the American economy will weaken considerably. Then the military will have no trouble filling their ranks or retaining skilled officers.
This will cause a shortage of airline pilots and less flights and less travel by the public.............
Being an old soldier, this really breaks my heart but I saw this coming once the Dung Beetle Party took control of the military. They did the same thing to public education, the “media”, elections and country music. Everything they touch turns to sh*t.
Don't buy this CYA DOD cover story. Go woke, go broke. Get rid of the woke and you get NORMAL kids to join.

It'll never happen. Senior enlisted leadership does not have the skill set to train and discipline draftees, many of whom would be openly defiant and incorrigible. Instilling in senior leadership this skill set after serving for many years in a volunteer force would be very difficult. The military would have to bring in outside entities, which would cause chaos in the ranks.
As senior enlisted, we're used to training volunteers, most of whom want to be there and do a good job. This is what we know how to do and have been doing successfully now for decades. Occasionally a few slip through the cracks who realize that for themselves, enlistment was a mistake. They'll do as little as possible, receive adverse evaluations, and eventually wash themselves out of the military, sometimes rather quickly.
But imagine draftees who show up at boot camp with the attitude, "F*** YOU! I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS S**T!" What to do with them? Beat them? Toss them into prison? The public relations fallout of that would be catastrophic.
This isn't the WWII or Vietnam generation where draftees might've grumbled, but most still reported for duty and served honorably. These kids today. Do you think some Antifa tranny is going to follow orders? Or some feral criminal gangbanger with an <80 IQ? They'd put everyone at risk and erode morale, discipline, and combat effectiveness.
For kids today, woke is normal.
Maybe for your retarded spawn.
Why? it’s slavery and nation that needs a draft to survive should be looking inwardly at why
That is how you kill recruitment further, wind up with cinscription, and a peacetime draft.
Watch for proposals of mandatory military service if it continues from the Left/Deep State. All cloaked in "patriotism" and "saving democracy" of course.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Just when the airline industry is expecting 50% of its pilots to retire, over the next few years.
Undocumented latinos will end up filling the ranks, just like the Bush administration did: a pathway to legalized citizenship.
I is unfortunatly sad to report that officer’s serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States.
If I’m not mistaken it even states that very fact on their certificates of promotion.
That's for going out the door, not for dragging them in or making them stay. That's also for regular commissions, not reserve commissions, and very few have a regular commission anymore.
An officers oath is distinct from the enlisted oath in that the officers do not pledge allegiance to the president but to Congress.
Officers' Oath:
I, [STATE YOUR NAME], having been appointed a [RANK] in the United States [BRANCH OF SERVICE], do solemnly swear [OR AFFIRM] that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Oath of Enlistment
I, (state your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. (optional)
