If this has to be done to staff a peacetime Army, WTH is going to happen when we have a real conflict and have to deploy a wartime army?
The problem with promoting people based on sexual kink, color, NEPO (powerful daddy), political party is folks don't want to follow these people. Throw in a 'commander in Chief' who obviously has contempt for traditional Americans (the people who do the work and staff the military) and you get the mess we're in how.
The people in power in Washington know the above. And it's what they want - the goal for them is to create a 'military' that has the same 'enemies' as Homeland, the DOJ, FBI and 'intelligence': traditional Americans. They'll staff the military with illegals... people who don't give a damn if they're shooting Americans. Iran used this technique against Iranian students - 'home town boys' didn't want to kill their school mates - so they brought in soldiers with no allegiance to Iranian citizens.
This is classic totalitarian crap - so please don't worry these stupid moves are accidental - they're making choices to make things worse on purpose. If we've figured it out - they've also figured it out.
USO Road shows with Dylan Mulvaney?
What “real” conflict?
The national government won’t protect our own borders.
On the other hand they seem inclined to getting American troops involved in decades long open ended wars with no clearly defined goals, on the other side of the world, for no particular compelling reason that anyone can divine. Rest assured though, the ROI will be much different when the leftists deploy the military on US soil, and you just know they can’t wait for that.
