Theres a better pic of him on Twitter. Don't think he's part of the crew we all received "transgender briefs" about.

Be he small but mighty !

We need every Soldier we can get in the armed forces we can get because over half the americans of draft age are too unfit to fight if we ever go to war.

The rest think they are too good to serve the country.

Agreed. There are missing pieces to this story. But Fort Hood has been getting a lot of negative press in the last few years. Even the soldiers need to stay sharp on post.

No, we need to resume the draft and pull in Mitt Romney’s kids while we raise standards.

Enlistment is almost impossible. No GED recipients without a minimum of 15 college credits, which is a few years, they’ll reject you for an undescended testicle, or a couple bad teeth, etc. Forget broken bones.

The job of the MEPS physicians is to KEEP YOU OUT OF THE MILITARY. PERIOD.

If you are less than a perfect specimen of humanity, you will be sent home. No matter how small and minor the issue, they will look for reasons to keep you out of uniform. I tried for years after the towers fell when I was 16. At 17, I attempted to join with parental content, but I was 6 pounds overweight. I lost the weight in a few weeks, went back, and said I can’t join with a GED without college. So I went to school as much as I could afford, but it wasn’t long enough, and my dad started having heart problems. I had to help him with the family business and couldn’t afford to go back to school.

We SERIOUSLY need to loosen our insane enlistment standards.

Corruption, grifters (Contractors with perpetual deep pockets), endless wars (Even Trump can't stop that), corporate environment of manipulative backstabbers, rampant feminism and virtue signaling, low moral, cynicism, wicked upper chain of command, etc.. Yes, who in their right mind would *not* want to serve in that environment?

You actual believe members are serving God and country? Lol!
