Fill it with trannies, homos and women...anyone of which can be your direct leader. You can’t even escape them in an infantry unit. Waste their lives frivolously on wars in places like Africa and central asia. And have senior leaders who clearly side with every unAmerican concept that comes along... and what do you expect?

I believe The Guardian is far Left.

Well, drafting women (it’s only fair) will double those available.

“The youth of America don’t want to serve in the military any more.”

The Guardian is VERY Leftist.

We have a Marine Corporal and an Air Force Senior Airman in the family.

My Dad served. I served. Get the f@gs and trannies OUT and the flood gates will open. MAGA! :)

I’m 100% pro-military but you nailed it 100% DR.

Yeah - now let me opine about volunteerism in the armed forces of Burkina Faso, about which I know as much as anyone at the Guardian does about the American military.

And in this world you can’t say it, but it used to be something you did to be a man. When girls are breezing through ranger school, and flying fighter pilots, trannies and homos are everywhere... you no longer get to be “manly”.

Tell someone you are special forces or a jet pilot, and they might literally say “oh my mom was too”.

No thanks.

The Guardian is a joke always finding things to disparage America.

“I believe The Guardian is far Left.”

You think? They are the most leftwing publication in the UK. Case in point? How many EDITORS actually came to Dick Cheney’s hotel...and waited for him to make a “PUBLIC ARREST” for his role in the Iraq War?

and I knew about these clowns back in 2005 when they were cheerleading American deaths in Iraq..these assholes sicken me

Nailed it.

I would add the fear of prosecution from your own chain of command every time you fire your weapon in a combat zone.

Fill it with trannies, homos and women.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Even in 1956 I went in the Navy to get ‘away’ from the above.
Yes, they were there but mostly ‘under the table’ as an openly queer person would get rehabbed in the USMC Brig and we had a way of dealing with those with ‘roaming hands’, many a ‘shipmate’ falling UP a ladder on the way to a ‘rough’ shower or blanket party prior Captains Mast where they would be swiftly removed - a lot of times for their own safety.

My Grandsons ‘came of age’ during the BO days and while I didn’t/wouldn’t encourage them, I didn’t discourage them when they took an interest.

Today it is hard to push someone into a controlled scene where the gays and trannies now hold positions of authority and there is no way to get ‘away from them’ without taking chances on ruining your own future.

Also, ‘we’ are now prosecuting military types for doing their duty while allowing the perverts to roam freely—the complete opposite of 50 or so years ago.

Private sector jobs are plentiful and wages are good, giving the military competition for quality people.

The lying Nazis at the Guardian are not credible. What else you got?
