Typical American PROPAGANDA. No mention of the Woke Indoctrination regarding the military - for example, was there any ‘recruiting crisis’ BEFORE Biden’s handlers took over? How about being sent to the front lines in Ukraine to fight a futile war, since Ukraine is nearly out of cannon fodder?

Actually, I have mixed feelings - I think having the draft is a good idea, but ONLY if the military is used to further US INTERESTS, rather than start and then fight useless, and usually futile, wars. But as long as the Hormone-Driven Leftists (Ukraine War supporters) remain in power, NO THANKS to the draft.

I can only see two legitimate US military interventions today: 1) the occupation and stabilization of the southern border and 2) the invasion of Baltimore, New York, Portland, Seattle, San Fran Feces, and other Democrat -occupied war zones.

I'm not sure we can re-claim the Army I enlisted in, in 1965, but THIS skinny little 17 year old RA grew up into beginning manhood I can NOW (at 75) see would not have happened, probably for another 15 years or so.

As childish and immature as I was, The Army provided a mans' perspective I would not have gotten from my successful, white collar father.

My father was not a bad or absentee guy, he just had a different (and we WERE Bawstin city types, in a suburbian kind of way) viewpoint on a lot of things different from say, corn fed redneck types.

I never agreed to the doing away with the draft and I think it should be re-instated, but NOT into a woke military.

Everything woke needs to be pressure hosed out and down the drain and every scary element of 17-20 year olds being yelled at and quasi abused should come back.

MANY a Marine can attest to their initial training as the foundation for their manhood 40 or more years later.



my two cents' worth.
