Oh bull! Most people who join the military are conservatives and the conservatives don’t want to be part of a woke, forced vac, forced tranny agenda.

I figured that out when I graduated BOOT CAMP, and that was a very long time ago.

SEMPER FI!

I’m 71 and retired from the navy in 1989. I’m betting that if a real war broke out I could still do what has to be done to launch missiles, operate ships, and fight a war. Army on the ground combat troops are a different story, but navy, air force and a good number of army and marine jobs could be filled with old, mean as hell, retirees.

I understand. I just thought I’d throw that out there for those who might not know. Always been a stigma towards draftees, but there is another side to that coin.

No offense meant.

With the difficulty in obtaining recruits, you would think Gen Benedict Milley and Lardass Austin would have a priority of keeping current personnel .... but noooooo, they have their Covid shot refusal retribution on going.

Well at least the youths of today will have General Milley as a prime example of what you don’t want to be.

Out of all of the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff he is the most out of shape that I recall and can recall a lot of them.

This is CYA for th real reason for bad recruiting, the DOD went WOKE now now red blooded American kid wants to join.

Another reason may be that young men and women don't want to be used as fodder in for profit wars that our government and the military industrial complex have no intention of winning.
