Apparently, the propagandists that are feeding this crap to America are not concerned whether the rest of the world laughs at the malaise and lack of motivation included in the recruiting posters and public service announcements.

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. The military of the United States is fast displacing them as paragons of this “surrender first” virtue-signaling.

Truly patriotic American soldiers are quickly being weeded out of combat units, to be replaced with soyboi and girly GI’s, some even genetically female. War ain’t Hollywood, no matter how that hypothesis keeps getting built up.

And nobody with even a passing knowledge of the French Army makes such jokes.

That’s not exactly fair to the French Army. They pretty much conquered Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. They fought and died like hell in WWI and were poorly led and outmaneuvered in WWII. The soldiers in the much-maligned Maginot Line only surrendered when the French President, accompanied by German soldiers ordered them to 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...

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.
