The Russian army released an ad campaign that shows explosions and tough men, making the woke US army ads look utterly weak and pathetic.

Russia or China just need to run the US ad and say:
“Join the army so our country will never be run by US perverts and freaks.”
What kind of military people OK'd this garbage?
Were we watching a Disney video or a military recruitment video?
Is this for real? It's so nauseating and off topic.
For decades, if not centuries, the French Army has been the butt of jokes about uninspired soldiers merely going through the motions, until such time as they may surrender.
They were a big disappointment to the Brits in 1940 to be sure but it was French units that covered the British evacuation at Dunkirk.
Now the Italian Army...
“one wonders—being a soldier or being a lesbian?”
With 90% of it focusing on the joys and wonders of lesbianism, you have to ask?
I wonder how poor Emma turned out.
What is sad is this will be real in 5 years.
I am surprised that they, for the USA picture, did not show a woman who was far along in a pregnancy. Maybe I shouldn’t say that, don’t want to give them any ideas.
The Brits didn’t exactly make a last stand. They fled the battlefield at Dunkirk. Though they try to blame France, the Brits were utterly unprepared to resist Germany in 1940 and were outclassed. The French fought damned hard but under poor leaders at the higher levels. In the 6 week battle of France they suffered roughly the same casualties as did in Vietnam. 60,000 dead and 200,000 wounded. They inflicted 27,000 German dead and 111,000 wounded.
Then as you said, when ordered by their government, they surrendered.
A quick look at some other surrenders caused by poor leadership, We surrendered to a smaller Japanese force in the Philippines because of the poor leadership of General MacArthur who left his men behind to become prisoners. The Brits at Singapore surrendered to a Jap force a third their size.
The Afrika Corps surrendered and filled the Southwest with prison camps.
The French soldier doesn’t deserve anything but respect.
This is especially true today, with nobody else in Europe at the level of power of the French military., Nobody else is even close. And only France’s military seems to have moral courage today. Our flag level officers are pure cowards.
Truly patriotic American soldiers are quickly being weeded out of combat units, to be replaced with soyboi and girly GI’s,
***********
Why would the qualified, strong and motivated ever want to join our military only to be harassed, belittled and demoralized by the wokesters who now run the show? the military is a joke and capable people will want no part of it.
Our adversaries abroad are taking notes, you can be sure of that.
She's currently on hormone therapy to become a man!
One major problem for us is that we don’t have a political party to fight for our values. The GOP is a total farce. It is corrupt, weak and completely lacking in principles. It is a pushover.
Until such time that we finally figure out that we need a real political party fighting for us we’re going to keep getting steamrolled by the Marxist revolution.
But we have DIVERSITY!
They’re gonna be sorry when we turn the Transgender Commandos loose on them. Just tell ‘em it’s contagious and they’ll run like the wind.
French casualties in WW IThere simply weren’t enough young, marriage-age men left in France after WW I to regenerate the population. Mark Steyn wrote about this in “America, Alone.” The ennui resulting from the two great wars resulted in Western Europe fertility rate in the late 20th century falling below replacement, ushering in the moslem hordes.

September 22, 2003World War I cost France 1,357,800 dead, 4,266,000 wounded (of whom 1.5 million were permanently maimed) and 537,000 made prisoner or missing — exactly 73% of the 8,410,000 men mobilized, according to William Shirer in The Collapse of the Third Republic. Some context: France had 40 million citizens at the start of the war; six in ten men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-eight died or were permanently maimed.
Later.
Also, the French Army mutinied in 1917 (the Brits and Yanks basically saved their skittles) and hadn’t truly recovered by 1940.
Part of Biden’s America last policy.
It makes me proud to have been in the USAF, both during the Vietnam War and Y
Mutiny did not affect the entire army in that area. And it came at the end of about a 3 1/2 year static meat grinder that nobody could even imagine before WWI, and after it became obvious that no leader anywhere had a plan besides turn eastern France into a moonscape A half million French soldiers went missing in action. On those battlefields that means shattered into thousands of pieces by artillery and buried under a rain of mud.
