A few months ago there was a thread here at Free Republic Up for open discussion was whether or not Freepers would recommend their sons or daughters to join the Armed Forces today. We need to understand that Freepers are among the most loyal, patriotic and fervent supporters of the military anywhere. Yet most people said no. No they would not recommend their children joining the army or any other service.

I was quite surprised. But given the drastic collapse of America as we knew it, even from 20 years ago, I really shouldn’t have been.

My son will turn 19 next week. He can make his own decisions, but I'm telling him to stay the hell away from the military.

They wouldn't let him in anyway, he's 100% MAGA. He's also starting to read Atlas Shrugged, after watching the DVDs.

This is NOT the military I served in for 8+ years. Kamala Harris will be CINC before the year is out.

I come from a proud military family. I discouraged my kids from joining. Breaks my heart to even say that....what’s been done to our once great military. 🙁

I would encourage for 2-3 years, but then get out, if the PC crap is detrimental. Get the GI Bill, and should learn some useful “skillz” if needed.
