My son has a similar story. After getting his bachelor’s degree and waiting for acceptance to med school, he approached the National Guard. I told him to wait until after Trump got reelected. He gave up in frustration when the National Guard recruiter couldn’t tell him when, even what year, or where he would go to basic training. He is an Eagle Scout, an athlete, an honors student, and speaks English, French and Arabic. They should have been happy to have him but just gave him the run around. Now he’s glad he didn’t join because who want to defend Joe and Ho, or be “defending” the democrats in the capitol building with no ammunition.
It is certainly not my father’s army anymore.
The Woke and the Joke ruined it.
