The best politicals money can buy, choose the best among the brown noses, and lately, the loyal members of their Parti. Its 1933 Germany in the USA today.Our best were retiring in the 90’s, it hasn’t been going well since. For me, its not my Army anymore. It appears from recruiting reports, I am not alone. How many service academy graduates have we retained? We are going to need more troops at this rate, sooner than later.
After seeing some training films of todays military I am astounded by the condition of many of the troops, they all seem to be overweight, sloppy looking and unable to march in an orderly manner. Not only that but many of them seem to be on the short side and it’s not just women. I was looking at some films from Ft. Ord on the 70’s and the trainees looked sharp, well conditioned and marched like the 101st Airborne in New York after WWII ended. Something is rotten in our military and we better fix it.
