Sure, let's blame everything on COVID.
That whole Afghanistan thing never happened...

This.

I would like to point out something to the soldiers who are considering the 50 thousand re-up bonus. To Biden, your service and skills are worth 50 thousand dollars. And it is possible that you can be sent into a combat zone and be killed. Now compare that to the plan by Biden to give 450,000 dollars to illegal aliens, and all that Biden requires of them is to sit on their asses, collect welfare and food stamps, and vote Democrat.

To Biden, the monetary worth of a soldier is 1/9 that of an illegal alien.

And let's not overlook the obvious. A soldier who refuses the VAXX will face administrative punishment. An illegal alien who refuses the VAXX will receive no penalty, and he will be flown, free of charge, to a city the Democrats choose so that he can vote out Republicans.

Spot on. They’re desperate for recruits because they completely dissed the career service men who wanted to dedicate their lives to their country. Kicked them out over a jab of now-obsolete vaccine. Now they want pre-jabbed mercenaries, and all they have to offer is money. That’s the sort of recruit who will fire into a crowd of protestors when ordered. Next they’ll sweeten it further and offer citizenship to illegals who enlist.

When my stepson joined the Marines in 2017, in addition to the signing bonus, the recruits all got $10,000 for elective surgery. I look at the recruiting sergeant and my stepson and joked that he could get that sex change operation, and the sergeant said sure without batting an eye

Agreed, but watch, at the current pace, we could see a full on draft within a year or two.

Or maybe much sooner if shades of a true WWIII get going. AND they will at some point.

Very good logical observations!

One is 1/9th the value... all are expendable pawn-sheep.
