I know a military family (both spouses in) and they tell their sons do NOT enlist in these times.
I’m retired Zoomie, my son is a former Marine.
We both tell young folks to stay the hell away from the military.
My youngest son enlisted in the Navy and is training to be air traffic control, but he did so knowing what he would be getting into.
I remember a few years ago there was a joke going around about when he came in the military being queer was forbidden, then it became don’t ask, and lately it’s acceptable. But the guy’s getting out before being gay becomes mandatory. Which seems to be where we’re headed.
As a retired military I advise potential recruits to carefully consider that their commanding officer may be a guy wearing a dress with a husband and that their chief of staff could be a traitor like Mark Milley.
You may want to serve as your fathers and grandfathers did, but all the meaningful decisions are going to be made by the deviants.
I am a retired USAF officer and my daughter may well be the last of a long line when she got out as a USAF Capt when thing started going to crap during Obama’s term.
Even without the Woke Charlie Foxtrot it’s not a good time to enlist. I joined in 1972 and every promotion I ever got right up through E8 I was competing with Combat Veterans, appearing before boards sat on by Combat Vets. You have to really work to beat out peers with Combat experience. As soon as I returned from Desert Storm I was selected to attend the Sgt Major Academy.
If your son is a fag tranny or just weird it’s a great time to get a bonus
I wasn’t asked questioned for this poll, but I approve the overall gist of it. It’s exactly what I’ve done, steer both my boys away from the service.
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
We need them. Our fine country is facing potentially dark international times. We need a strong and capable (and reliable) military.
And, with few folks staying in, making upward rank might be a bit easier.
Where the hell is Fort Liberty?
Who would start down that path knowing they can do it again?
Who would risk their life for globalists?
Here is a perfect example of why I don’t recommend the military anymore...last night watching a rerun of the weakest link. Twins were competing. Among the contestants was a pair of gays dressed in pink suits with face makeup and high heel shoes. One of them was an active duty sailor who regaled the audience with a story about how he won a talent show ON BOARD HIS SHIP where he dressed in drag. The guy? Had lipstick and eye makeup with ear rings and showed off his pointy high heel shoes. THAT is why I don’t recommend the armed forces to anyone! Retired Navy E-8 here.
I’ve read that there are a lot of military age folks crossing the border who will be able to fill the gap.
Shocking headline.
“Fewer”? Really? It’s above zero? Shocking.
