Excerpts. Another aspect resulting from spiritual and moral decline, of faith and family, and thus enemies abound within while enemies without increase, making for a sinking ship taking on water and that imagines its future will see victory as in the past.

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. (Deuteronomy 32:15)

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. (Deuteronomy 32:17-18)

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)

Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. (Jeremiah 6:16)

If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. (Jeremiah 4:1)

Now that the communists have seized power, this is actually a good thing for us.

....sadly, I agree with your opening observations. I wonder how many transgenders there are in China’s military forces, or how many mandatory seminars their troops have to attend regarding intersectionality (I’m still not sure what that means...), or how many warnings about being aware of the vast number of domestic terrorists and supremacists there are in their ranks...? Jus’ wonderin’ ......

Approximately 40% of U.S. adults and about 20% of adolescents are obese, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. This is the highest obesity rate ever recorded in the U.S. and is especially troubling due to the number of children and adolescents considered obese, according to an October 13, 2017 NBCNews.com article. Obesity is considered having a body-mass index of over 30 and is linked to such conditions as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. - https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/obesity-american-adults-youth/

Based on the abject idiocy that has passed for "foreign policy" in the U.S. over the last 50 years, I don't see how any of this is a problem.

No offense to anyone here on FR with a military background, but I think you'd have to be certifiably nuts to join the U.S. military today.

Well, the Biden-Harris Junta is already erasing all kinds of protections for women, so adding them to the Selective Service requirement should be a no-brainer (and therefore right up Zhou Bai-den’s alley). And once they’ve doubled the candidate pool, they can revert to type, reconstitute the military as a conscription force, and promulgate policy that all students must now meet physical fitness minimums so that they may Serve the Interests of The Homeland (or some more socialist-sounding variation).

That should solve the eligibility issue within a couple of years.

My son was in an ROTC program, plenty smart, not obese, no criminal record. But he decided he no longer wanted to serve because of the wokeness and the election.

Have to consider if the country we are becoming is worth defending.

When your country decides to trash your Rights as a Citizen by allowing an invasion of third world people to occur,what would you expect.

Would I risk my life today to save a country bent on self destruction and bankruptcy? Hell No.

The Rats allegedly won the Presidency with an overwhelming Majority of Rat Voters so let the Rats get their lazy children to enlist in the military that they are Now in the process of destroying.

Volunteering to serve is going to devolve to one issue - meal ticket.

Anyone with a brain would be an idiot to sign up today, with the “cancel culture” being the main mission.

With “cancel culture” you get what you ask for — brains not required, nor desired.

There will always be those who will stand in line for a meal ticket, but the number of potential recruits are probably going down exponentially.

RATS waiving their socialist wand and making student loans go away (now and forever) would destroy the Military. The money for college that is an incentive for enlistment would be worthless.

They’ll just change the rules. They always do. Want more women, lower the standards or ignore then altogether. Want more foreigners, just ignore they are illegal aliens and provide them an ID.

Frankly, I don’t see what the problem is. The Biden administration will see to it that the acceptance requirements are changed to suit their own “needs”.

And the transgenders really like to be in the military, because their health insurance benefits are premier.

Why are you posting an article from 2018?
This is 3 years old.

Interesting Bible verses. The above article is also metaphor for current status of the church. Spiritual obesity. Spiritual unfitness.

Looked at another way, that’s fewer people to be sacrificed on military adventures for the combined communist movement.

Depends on the crime.

In time of need, all the petty crimes are forgiven.

even some of the more serious crimes are foregiven.

Cause of: Health problems and Physical fitness
ADHD medication

As a soccer coach I coached a large group of boys as they grew up from 8 to 14 years of age. At around age 10 I noticed one of the boys lose his aggression and drive to score. I asked his Mom if something was going on with him because it was like a light switch turned off. Adderall.

I saw the exact same thing happen to four other boys over the next few years. Normal, happy, boys being chemically castrated right before my eyes and literally nothing I could do about it.

I didn’t even have to ask. In those cases where the Mom let me know, it was always instigated by a teacher at the school.

First of all 51 percent are unqualified simply because they are female. No. Women are not soldiers. They are physically and psychologically weaker than men, don’t have the aggression, are far more vulnerable, get pregnant and have periods. No.

Then I’d guess take away 70 percent from the remaining 49.
