Remember Martha Raddatz saying that Tim Kaine didn’t trust Trump with his son’s life? My son was in the Marines but he did not reenlist. I think that was wise, considering Biden is running the US military, or is supposed to. Somebody crazier than Biden really may be calling the shots now.
At least it’s only a relative few in Syria. In Poland I suspect we have at least 50,000 there by now, many who take off their uniforms, ‘retire’ from the military, go into Ukraine as ‘mercenaries’, and then come back and rejoin the military. Not sure just how ‘voluntary’ that program is, but probably doesn’t need much coercion, given peer pressure there.
But also many others who want no part of being cannon-fodder for Russia, once Ukraine is spent...feel bad for them and their families.
