I don't think it is a majority, as I began the compilation in 2021, and most links are after Trump starting from then.
. The “woke” character of the armed services goes back to Obama and Clinton. The younger Bush and Trump did not effectively reverse the degeneration.
True, but it did not advance as much.
With almost three years of the Biden regime and a weak economy, recruitment still lags.
Partly due to "More Than 75% Of Americans Aged 17-24 Aren’t Fit For Military Service: (DOD) 77% of Americans in the above age group could not physically qualify to enter the armed forces – a 6% increase from 2017." And liberals are not exactly sacrificial types who are willing to risk their lives for a country which they lust to rule, and see the primary danger to being Climate Change, Racism, "Homophobia," etc. As for patriotic conservatives, how many want to be part of a "Wokelitary" under an admin that they see as working to destroy the US from within?
The military is in its worst shape since at least the 1930s when MacArthur threatened FDR with resignation due to the poor shape of the U.S. Army. God help us if we get into a multifront war.
At the least. For back then you had an overall American character that was used to hardship, endurance and respect for character and authority, with a "sleeping giant" of industrial capability. Today we could not fight WW2 on its terms, nor long persevere WW3 with its requirements. China sees the progressive weakening of the US, and most leadership reasons that presently attacking Taiwan right now is still not worth the cost that war with the US would result in, but as the US grows weaker in character and power it has yet gone to war, but it is testing the US responses more.
According to a recent Pentagon report, the Chinese military increased its harassment of U.S. aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region. The report highlights over 180 instances between the fall of 2021 and 2023, amounting to “more in the past two years than in the previous decade.” The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) also found more than 100 instances of “coercive and risky operational behavior” against U.S. allies, including using military-grade lasers, dangerous maneuvers such as barrel... - https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4191355/posts/blockquote> 1. A nation can overcome adversity, and affliction, but none I know overcame great prosperity in its various earthly forms. Rare is the person who gains the latter and does not lose spiritual and moral Christian values. Yet God requires us to overcome what takes away faith.
“Religion begat prosperity and the daughter devoured the mother.” - Attributed to Cotton Mather alarmed by the trend toward materialism in New England Society
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. (Hosea 4:11)
2. As American increasingly became post-Christian, so it increasingly becomes anti-Christian, adopting the demonic perversions of all the God ordained. As we sadly see daily and more so.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:4)
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12)
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. (Hosea 8:3)
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hosea 8:14)Every generation since perhaps 1950 has been the most Biblically ignorant, morally confused and mislead generation America has ever raised, with each other surpassing the previous one. Now we are seeing the 3rd generation in the voting booth since so-called "the greatest generation."
3. One of those is contraception, which goes with abortion. Without these two practices alone and the welfare which fosters broken homes, there could be a partial social revolution, of actual families of more than 1.6 children if at all, and learning to share, tolerate, interact, endure difficulties, build character, initiative. etc.
4. The growth of secular, anti-Christ media. Never before has there been a media so pervasive, perverted and persuasive since perhaps Pompeii, though we do have sane as well as sacred alternatives, thank God.
