Please burn a facsimile. You may need it later as proof of your honorable service. Kerry didn’t throw away anything real or necessary when he supposedly tossed his medals over the White House fence. He was a grandstanding worm and never changed nor grew up.

I don’t disagree with you.

We let the Left get ahold of education, academia, television, movies, music 30+ years ago...

But the young kids are just more accepting, right or wrong.

“In a health survey released this week by the RAND Corporation, 6.1 percent of people in the U.S. military self-identified as LGBT . It’s the first ever direct estimate of the military’s LGBT population, even though LGB people, at least, have been allowed to serve openly for seven whole years.”

That means 93.9% is still hetero. I would prefer 100%, but that’s how it is.

Plus the black man didn’t demand standards to be lowered so his kind to be allowed to see her ce. In fact, he showed the white elite that he was every bit ss good we his white counterparts. He was a net plus to the military.

Unlike the leftists demands of “equity”

. . . a commander-in-chief who is less like Ike than Beavis.

Beavis? More like Butthead.

You got your point but the Davos Crowd will have to figure out how to recruit bodies in.

All this crime in the cities, all these folks sent to jail creating political problems for Democrats.

Why not a creative way to get the criminals off the streets put them in uniforms send them to Ukraine?

We live in a different America than my time in the military. I would have difficulty today reconciling fighting for blue state progressives who opt to avoid the military. My solution - resurrect the draft, but for blue states only. That is the best way to get them to leave the country and become Canada’s problem. lol

There you go, being logical.

Everything is not OK is it?

Those are readily found via a couple of websites. I’ll have to go back and find the site I used for my latest DD-214, which includes proof of my honorable discharge.

You’re right. It is worse than me being fat. It took years to get this way and nothing short of starvation can reverse it quickly. Only drastic means will work in anything less than a very long time and we don’t have a very long time.

We need a war footing type of effort led by very smart, very tough men who will cull with a sabre and back fill from the ranks with any and every true leader they can find.

The cries will be deafening at the roughshod abuse but guess what, just like now, the politicians haven’t thing one to say about it and can do less.

Discharge for loss of confidence. It is a universal method and the sabre cuts both ways.

“July Fourth could give up its stature for it. ”

Already being supplanted by Juneteenth.

Today’s average teen just accepts gays the same way. Doesn’t mean they’re gay, they’re just more accepting of them and don’t really give a hoot about who they date.

And if that all it were, I could almost understand it. But white males must not only accept it; but undergo indoctrination about how racist and homopobic they are and can do nothing to "undo" or overcome it; and celebrate their fellow service members for their sexuality and skin color. Things that are supposed to have nothing to do with completing military missions. If they don't like it, they better give no hint of displeasure of it. Grudging tolerance is not acceptable. Welcoming acceptance while understanding how wrong they are themselves is the mental state the top leaders are trying to inculcate.

As former military, I would never volunteer to join today.

With CRT indoctrination, homosexuals being allowed to openly serve, the requirement to say the right pronouns, mandatory Covid vaccinations and Biden as CIC. Forget it.

The Black men I served with, with few exceptions, were solid soldiers, whom I would gladly serve with anytime, anywhere.

When I was a lieutenant who feuded with my Battery Commander and Battalion Commander, who had my back? My black Group Commander, a Colonel who eventually pinned on stars.

When I had a dustup with a Captain (still a 1st LT...lol), who had my back? A black Captain. He mystified the rest of the Battalion staff by offering me a job.

When I was appointed Battalion S-4, who had my back? That's right, the six black soldiers and NCOs that comprised the rest of the section. It didn't hurt I had been in the battalion for nearly 4 years, we knew each other well.

We turned it into the best S-4 in 32nd AADCOM, as was noted during our IG inspection.

There are only bad leaders, and we have the worst military leadership in American history, starting right at the top with a commander-in-chief who is less like Ike than Beavis.

"Are you threatening me? I am Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!"

I discouraged my several godly patriotic sons from joining the military due to the increasing depravity. Did not want them serving under Obama etc and can’t trust the American people to elect even a reasonable commander in chief.

This just shows how out of touch our leaders are. Good luck trying to resurrect the draft, there will be the same resistance to it now as there was during Vietnam if not more. And they screwed up big time mandating the covid vaxx. We have a bunch of arrogant fools running the show these days.

Yep, when standards are kept or raised, men of quality of any color will rise to the occasion.

the problem is, the ones to follow will have been forcefed all this wokecrap for most of their military careers, and a strong vetting must take place to stop the rot...
