Since nobody asked:

The 11th Airborne Division (”Arctic Angels”) is a United States Army airborne formation, first activated on 25 February 1943, during World War II. Consisting of one parachute and two glider infantry regiments, with supporting troops, the division underwent rigorous training throughout 1943.

How many Fags, Lesbians, and Trannies will be allocated to this division? And, which appropriate pronouns will the Woke Army demand that the remaining Alpha Males must use in addressing them or they will be discharged from service?
Oh, by the way, Recruitment is Way Down. I don’t understand why!/S

That said, three brigades would last about three days against Vlad or Xi’s armies.


I doubt that given that Ukrainian farmers destroyed the Russian VDV units who attacked Kyiv. They ran back to Belarus with washing machines and other loot in tow.

This new designation and location will probably keep most of the woke away. PT in the cold. Rec Center activities, hunting, fishing, flying, checkers, chess, cards, and snowmobiling;)

I always wanted to serve in the Airborne units in Alaska, but those assignments were tougher to get than Japan (1000 US Army on mainland) or Okinawa....

I always joke with my 101st buddies - I call them “Almost Airborne”. Or the “One-Oh-Worrst” .

One of my drill sergeants way back came from 101st. He said AA stands for "All Alcoholics" :p
