That’s a lot of short people but with libtards they’ll take what they can get 🤪

I predict the next defense budget will still be bigger than ever.

I thought they addressed it.
Where are all the transgenders and LGBTQ+? They were supposed to fill all the vacancies and more!

The Communists give our troops about the same amount of respect
as our police. They don’t think we need either of them.

Woke BS. Proud patriots, such as myself, have stopped recommending military service for my kids and a hot inking of joining. It’s a woke hell of varying degrees and opposed to our true warrior spirit.
Piss be upon the woke warriors.

“They just can’t figure it out” …

Nope.

And many thousands are going to get booted out because they won’t take the jab.

Potential recruits are seeing all the BS policies, including teaching Critical Race Theory, and are not wanting any part of being used and abused.

Send our trannies, feminists and gays. If it’s short, draft them first. They demanded the nonsense to replace all that male toxicity, time for them to go fight. Fair is fair though, we’ll require straight men to be in charge of fashion and interior design.

I know to ask the question is to basically answer it around here, but I think it is one that should be asked of every politician at the national level. Why does America keep such a large standing army, post cold war, even during peacetime?

All we need is the Navy.

Think about this....the numbers only show 2022. What happens if all of 2023 runs the same way?

Even if you offered a bonus check of $75,000 for four years, on top of normal E1-to-E4 pay...a fair amount of the negativity is the woke stuff/pronoun police.

What happens when we settle into January 2025? A military that is only two-thirds the size of today?

Bingo! I talk every young man out of military service I can. I work with several and recommend the oil field if they’re looking for adventure and travel, or just want to prove their manhood. The armed forces of any modern western democracy are the worst place for the latter!

“The why of what we think's going on right now is we've got unprecedented challenges with both a post-COVID-19 environment and labor market, but also private competition with private companies that have changed their incentives over time,” he told members on the subcommittee.

hmmmm... yeah go ahead and tell the committee that. They just will not say the true stuff. Wokeness policies and a CIC that well...let's just say he is not all there.

All service branches are currently going through a tough recruiting patch in part due to the coronavirus pandemic ...

This has nothing to do with kicking out American patriots and changing promotions to reward sexual kinks and skin color? Yeah, right...

The Soros goal is to fill the US Military with sexual weirdos and illegals with ZERO loyalty to the United States or it's people.

Kids in school today just can’t meet the basic standards. Most have smoked pot, aren’t interested in leaving mom’s basement and their XBOX, haven’t run a mile in their life and just can’t be bothered.
