Who wants to serve a state that hates you and lets you know it?

I thought gays and trannies were champing at the bit to serve their country.

The Army has met about 40% of its enlisted recruiting mission for FY22, with just over three months left in the fiscal year ...

Holy crap - that sounds critical

I once heard it said that “A nation which despises its troops will have a despicable army.” Well, the people in charge certainly don’t like the armed forces, and seem to think they are good subjects for social experimentation. And they don’t like the police, either.

Odd, an NBC article that fails to mention the military top brass hate white people, hate conservative people, hate people who believe in the USA and love queers, butches, dykes, fairies, and trannies. I would have thought they would have uncovered those root causes.

Feminization, anti-toxic masculinity programs, laziness, entitled youth...all the ingredients for a takeover from within are being stirred.

Veteran 68-76 here. I tell any young man or woman who is thinking about a career in the military to learn a trade, get experience and work towards your own business. But buy and own guns and become proficient with them because the battlefield will eventually be right here in this country.

Todays recruits are nothing more than pawns and test subjects for politically charged schemes that nothing to do with the military’s actual mission, and as Biden has shown, he will abandon you at the drop of a hat.

Good. Time to close bases overseas and send our boys back home at the southern border. Esp. Europe where we have to “defend” the euroweenies..

No right thinking American should join the military under the crazy Dementia Joe. That would be like committing suicide.
Let them go recruit from the homeless camps in San Francisco and from all them crazy trans creeps.

Exactly what they wanted, so they can bring back the draft.

The possible recruits see nothing worth dying for, and see nothing wort protecting, neither.

They see useless foreign combat, for ideas and peoples foreign to them.

With all the years of wars on the nightly news, since the Vvietnam War, some folks don’t want any part of it, or worze, to have granny watch her kid get blown to bits on live TV.

-- Can a state create a militia and DECIDE if it wants to be under the federal gov't ? --

I think so, yes. Some states have two militias. One that takes money from the feds so is easily controlled by the feds, and another more federal independent.

I tnink either can be brought under federal command, just the "state" one may require new federal legislation.

State Defense Forces and Homeland Security

Today, 23 states and territories have organized militias, most commonly known as State Defense Forces (SDFs). SDFs provide governors with a cost-effective, vital force multiplier and resource, especially if state National Guard units are deployed out of state.

Gee, I wonder why. What group has been THE backbone of the American military for over 200 years?

What group disproportionally did the fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and took twice the casualties as their share of the population?

What group has been systematically demonized by the current woke military?

So.....now you say you’re having trouble meeting your recruiting targets........

I am shocked. You’d think people would be flocking to join with Joe Meatpuppet as CiC. They even try to get your pronouns right. Don’t forget the forced Fauci pin prick requirement.

“Apparently, you forgot something. Apparently, you forgot this is the United States of America. The most powerful country on this planet. It’s not because we have more money, or we’re better looking. No! It’s because we have something in this country they don’t have in other countries.”

I guess they don’t teach civics in high school anymore. The Progressives are against a People educated about their own rights and responsibilities.

Texas HAS it’s own militia. Pretty much like every other state in the Union. The Organized State Militia of Texas is the Texas State Guard. The unorganized or “reserve” militia is the citizens and legal residents of Texas, over 18, under 65 and legally and physically capable of bearing arms. The “reserve” militia is subject to call to active duty by the Governor and must provide their own arms and ammunition.

The Federal Government has absolutely no say in the matter.
