“You want to know why military recruitment and re-enlistment is at historic lows?”

I do. Its because public trust in institutions has collapsed, in part because of numerous unaddressed failures, and because all of them are caught up in the social and culture wars. You seem to think I dont agree with you.

“Because White men are waking up to the sinister game that’s being played on them.”

Some white men. In truth your conflicts are really between a subculture of white men, who run most things, and the rest. The rest of the lot on that other side (racial minorities, women, etc) are really make-weight, with only the very limited powers granted by that white subculture.

“They’re not going to die for the military industrial complex anymore.”

A good number are, still. And the US has a tremendous ability, still, to levy troops from around the world, if necessary. Your position is more true than it used to be, but more true is not absolutely true. “there ia a great deal of ruin in a nation” - Adam Smith

“They’re not going to fight in a war against Russia.”

I think more than enough will. If the US intervenes in Ukraine it will be largely by the USAF, obtaining air superiority. I dont see the US sending in the National Guard.

I think the warrior families are calling it quits and that's why you don't see them sign up for the Marine Corps and the Army.

I doubt things will improve so eventually we will have to do the draft.

No one is going to sign up and join the military under Gavin Newsom. So he'll bring back the draft. The yearly quota will be 100,000. Mostly infantry.

And if it reaches that point, brother, it will be nuclear, and not a damn thing else on earth will matter. Just what the Malthusian globalist oligarchs want. A gravely diminished population, say 95% fewer folks than we have now, ruled over by this evil, godless bunch who managed to hide from the nukes and the fallout in their own shelters. Insulated from the evil they created.
