Given this, I'm sure our military is capable of pursuing armed conflict across multiple global theaters.

Possibly.

Maybe.

They want a draft so they can send all young, legacy US citizen, straight, white males to their deaths.

Well, they are in the Army. When they receive an order, they have to obey it.

I guess they were caught by surprise. I am glad it wasn’t hamas.

Recruiting has always been considered a cush posting. I don’t think there are a lot of complainers.

As a STEM geek, we used to express disdain in units of “milli-givash*ts”, where milli denoted one one-thousandth.

Our military folks will soon be expressing their disdain for our woke and totally malfunctioning military in “Milley givash*ts”. Great job of leading there, fat boy.

First, I would think being a military recruiter would be a cushy job.

Second, You are in the military and complaining about getting orders on short notice. That is what the military does. You would think by now they would have known this. Or were they in cushy do nothing positions riding out their enlistment.

I would never tell my children its a good thing to join the military. And I am quite sure America could never raise a large army. America lost its moral authority. Our government does not value our lives or the constitution. So I certainly would not fight for my country. I will defend my home. Or I will leave the country. But I would never fight for this government. Its not a valid government and it does not protect our rights.

The military does not yet get that the people have to believe in the government before they will fight for the government. Our military sees there is something wrong with recruiting. They just don’t quite understand what the problem is.

The Obamacrats have made serving our country a miserable prospect for decent, genuine Americans.

I get fired for missing my quota because no body wants to be in the military much anymore, especially those who have personal standards as outlined in the Bible, I.E., homosexuals. Even tho they may not be Christians, they have been taught what is right and wrong. Those type folks don’t want to be told how they must accept certain lifestyles. I am danged glad I had retired before all this crap came out. I don’t think I could have continued under these current standards, rules, and acceptances.

Those who were involuntarily re-assigned to be recruiters will have, what in the military is referred to as, the 'stink' on them.

In the military, certain specialties and training paint a bullseye on your back for every crappy tasking that may come down the pipeline. For some it was a language proficiency. For some it was having Bus on their military driver's license. Security Forces augmentee was one. Equipment management certification was another. Augmentee munitions assembler was a bad one.

Any time headquarters determined they needed someone who was already trained, they could cut orders to have you uprooted and sent anywhere to fill in.

I know several individuals who separated from the service because they had gotten such stink on them and knew it would hang over their heads for their entire careers.

Army headquarters just cashed in a big chip. Yes, they'll get their augmentee recruiters today but going forward, a lot of individuals who would previously served a tour as a recruiter will now avoid it because of the stink that could impact them for the rest of their careers. A lot of commanders don't want to take people with a certain stink because they can lose them on a moment's notice and they won't be back-filled since it will likely be a special duty temporary assignment, not a permanent change of station.


On a related note, I wonder how many of these involuntary recruiters were selected for proficiency in foreign languages, especially Spanish, in order to fill the ranks with recently arrived invaders.

.... the Army as the service scrambles to boost its recruiting force by 800 by the end of the year.

******************

Self-inflicted.

From link (at bottom):

From late 2021 to early 2023, the military services discharged roughly 8,300 troops from the active and reserve components, most of whom received general discharges and were welcome to serve in uniform again if they got vaccinated.

The Army discharged 1,881 soldiers before Jan. 10, according to service data, while granting 191 exemptions out of 10,699 requests.

The Air Force Department discharged a total of 834 personnel in 2022, before a July court order halted any further separations for those whose waivers had been rejected, according to data provided to Military Times.

In the end, the Navy granted 168 medical exemptions, 153 of them temporary, as well as 50 religious accommodations. Data as of Jan. 9, the day before the mandate repeal, show 1,878 sailors were discharged.

In total, the service involuntarily separated 3,746 Marines before the mandate’s repeal.
