Tell the military to try and enlist from the woke crowd that they cater to. They probably won’t find many takers among them. I certainly wouldn’t advise any young person to join today.

I was on active duty from 76-84. I loved my time and my sons and nephews heard a few of my stories. Now, I dissuade as many as I can from joining the military.

Back then, I knew my senior leaders had my back, and they proved it to me. When the Army goes back to that, and allows the chain of command to work, then I might change my mind.

I’ll never forget the day BG Archie Cannon stood up for me. At the out briefing of a Nuclear Surety Inspection, the Evaluation Team Chief pointedly disparaged my performance as the Augmentation Reserve Commander, for having my soldiers arrive late. In fact, we made our mission time 30 minutes EARLY.

I knew my job, and I was combative in those situations. I told him I gave my soldiers extra training to ensure they would succeed. They were air defenders, not infantrymen.

When the inspection team left, BG Cannon strode to the podium, found me in the audience, and pointed at me: “Lieutenant, I’ll take that hit for you. Anytime you want to give your soldiers extra training, you have my express permission.

I thought that was pretty cool.

How about that GUY WHO PRETENDS TO BE A WOMAN, he is the right age and seems to be healthy (not mentally, but who cares) enough to do commercials for Bud Light and dance around like a fairy.

If the little faggot won’t enlist, DRAFT HIS ASS!
