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.

That’s a really bad idea. The Southerners who resisted in the War of Northern Aggression were mostly led by combat veterans who had served in the Union Army. If the ructions you describe come to pass, we will need people in the military who not only can operate the full spectrum of equipment in the nation’s armory, but also have access to it. Any resistance must be mounted using the full panoply of arms in the nation’s inventory. After all, we paid for it - we should get our share.

Notice how Ukraine is hamstrung by the fact that it doesn’t have nukes or the vast majority of the weaponry to which the Russians lay claim. For us to win, we need everything from the basic M-4 carbine to Ohio class submarines with the full complement of SLBM’s. That won’t happen if only Democrats and progressives serve in the military.

If the war you envision comes into view, we will need more than our personal weapons to prevail. That’s where control of the nation’s arsenal, conventional and nuclear, comes into play. When Biden says Democrats will crush Republicans with F-15’s and nukes, he’s assuming they’re the only ones with F-15’s and nukes. And it’s patriotic young Republicans and conservatives interested in things military who will deny Democrats and progressives a monopoly on this loaded gun pointed at our collective heads.
