Bring back the draft
Why should the Army worry?
Or is woke Emma with the two moms not nearly as powerful as we were led to believe?
Nobody wants to join your Commie military. Semper Fi, traitors.
The “Class of COVID”...
Consequences: Intentional or unintentional?
And the Delaware Demented Dolt got rid of thousands of highly experienced soldiers who were unvaxed.
The two branches that demanded higher scores (>55)???
The Air Force and the Marines.
send the border crossers to boot camp. They look young and fit.
They’re coming to us active duty folks and asking us if we have any family or friends who want to join.
I told my commander, that after 20 years of service, I regret my choice to join. I’m sure not going to recommend it to anyone I like.
Oh, they’re already in the army.
Just not ours.
many people dont want the fake vaccine,,why arent you mentioning that?
I remember in the mid-90’s, our Gunny gave us a lecture on ethics. His first words: “The United States Marine Corps is out of touch with today’s society. God willing, it will remain so.”
I guess God wasn’t willing. There’s nothing the Communists don’t corrupt when they touch it.
Many illegals will be happy to put on the uniform for the pay and benefits. This has been going on for a while. I am certain that the man my late wife’s niece married is an Mexican illegal. Very dark skinned, classic cholo build and always looking down to avoid meeting my gaze,very limited English vocabulary. Made sure his wife quickly got pregnant and then again as as soon as possible. His parents showed up to live with him.Neither could speak word one of English. And this was in the USMC about 5 years ago.
It’s not a military anymore, it’s now a liberal political entity that normal people reject and now patriotic families are dissuading their kids from joining, and military families are starting new legacies. Nice work Brandons.
The Romans depended on foreign soldiers, barbarians to man the Legions at the end. A society defended by men with no stake in it, no ties to it. It did not end well for them.
See your friends die for Afghanistan and Iraq only to have Joe Biden pull out and leave the enemy billions of dollars worth of weapons.
That’s why there are recruiting issues. Your not gonna fight for America. You’ll be a corporate Tool.
Unmentioned in the article but something I think might be a big factor is that young people today simply do not want to work. It isn’t only the military that is having a hard time finding and keeping new employees. I visit dozens of businesses a week for fire inspections and always chat up the owners, asking them how things are going and this is ALWAYS their number 1 complaint. Not the cost of doing business or government regs, but short staffing because nobody is applying for the jobs that are open and not getting filled..
Allowing entire barbarian nations to settle within the empire in return for serving as completely barbarian armies to defend the frontiers was what sunk the empire in the west. In the east where the Anatolians and even the Syrians felt a bond with the empire the classical world continued to operate for another six hundred years.
