I'll fight for Lunchbag Lujan!

A majority of American adults would not be willing to serve in the military were the U.S. to enter into a major war, recent polling has found, while public confidence in the armed forces appears to be waning.
The figures come as all branches of the armed forces have in recent years struggled to meet their recruitment targets, suggesting a growing apathy towards a career of military service. In 2023, the Army and Air Force fell short of their respective goals by around 10,000 recruits, while the Navy was under by 6,000. Since 1987, the number of active-duty personnel has fallen by 39 percent.
Experts say that such shortfalls are worrisome in an increasingly volatile global picture with American leadership unsure when it will next have to bring its full military force to bear.
"We have strike groups, aircraft carriers with a Marine Expeditionary Unit outside Israel now," Justin Henderson, a former transport operator for the U.S. Marines turned military recruiter, told Newsweek. "We're funding two wars, but we're actually boots on the ground, drones above Gaza. So we're already involved in there—and we're not sure what's happening in Taiwan. So this is a very tumultuous time for us, because we don't know what's going to happen."

Anything beyond that is not a concern of mine. And in a military capacity I would never answer to any chain of command that goes up to some jackass in Washington DC.
hell no I wouldn’t serve with a bunch of trannys and women who can’t do the job!
I'll fight for Lunchbag Lujan!
“As long as one J6 political prisoner remains there is no country for fight for...”
The absolute God’s Honest Truth.
He sounds like a smart kid. Ordinarily kids like him were the backbone of the military. Not anymore.
Amen.
Because the US has not been in a military action to defend the country since WW II.
Since then, it’s been one imperial adventure after another.
“No, I’d say that people don’t want to fight for this government.”
You do have a point. A young man just out of high school recently told me that.
They are all exempt, you know don’t have to serve.
Fought once with democrats in charge, never again.
I don’t think we have had a Republican government since the 1950’s.
Modern RINOs are apprentice Democrats.
All our wars since WWII were unconstitutional.
So guys like you and I who served were involved in illegal wars.
hmmmm I don't know... a lot of good folks make good money ...
I think “real value” should have something to do with it ...
Let's say young plumber gets a pass ...
Blue hair gender studies student .... first in line ..
something like that ....
“+$1 million families getting the highest chance of getting pulled.”
I'm not opposed to that ... but there is a difference between folks who make their $$ with real work and dogs like political whores.
Because it isn’t our country anymore.
Democrats are the enemy.... the enemy of the entire world. /spit
You took the words right out of my brain.
Draft it is!

Are they even capable of fighting? Too woke to survive in the real world.
I saw the 2023 commercial on YouTube and there were several thousand replies, almost all of which were negative and derisive of the current military and the Biden regime. We have enough firepower in the eastern Mediterranean to dissuade Turkey, Iran, and Syria to get into the Israel vs. Hamas fight. But what happens later this decade when those men who joined up during the Iraq and Afghan wars retire? Perhaps the Muslim nations and the Chinese and Russians will wait a few years. All these powers will be rooting for Biden, or Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom, no doubt helping them with dark money and technical support.
Spoken like a woke fascist.
The military had no problem with recruitment before they went full gender-dystopic retard.
Now they want the people they drove out of the military back so they can send them to die for FJB/Soros's money laundering operation.
Russia is building a million man army full of battle-hardened veterans with experience in modern ground combat against NATO tactics and equipment.
They will not be pushovers.
It’s not the country I grew up in and enlisted in 1963. Not anymore José!
