Well, that does it. Iโ€™m ready to enlist. Do they take geezers now?

I just checked. They're back down to 17-35. At one point the not too long ago the Army was enlisting 42-year-olds.

Will they even take white people in the services?

The world’s great warrior race being driven from the military of the United States.

The old military guys I know do not recommend that their family members join todayโ€™s army.

I know that I don't. But I don't stop with family members ... kids at fast-food counters, or grocery stores, or any place where they find out I spent 21 years in the military and ask my opinion about it. I tell them, point blank, "Do not join the military now."

I guess more PT, and learning Spanish might be worthwhile endeavors.

Last yearI was tasked with inviting a U.S. military band for our town's annual festival.

I attempted to invite a military band but after some slow response from them I politely said let's do it another time.

The more I thought about making Biden's military look good to local students, the less enthusiastic I became. I can't in good conscience recommend a young person sign up for that mess. Depending on who is doing the invading I might agree to be a trigger-puller, but I don't want my grandkids fighting for the right to have sanitary products in the boysโ€™ bathroom.

I was career military. I wouldnโ€™t do it today. I never encouraged my son to join the military, but he wanted to be a pilot, so he could go on to bigger and better things. He said he would NEVER be an enlisted man. Good choice, I said.

I’m sure that’s the perfect representative vision that George Washington had of his country’s “army” on his death bed as he looked over 220 years into its future.

And getting them to wear those sombreros?

Forget it.

The wrath of the awakened Saxon

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

- Rudyard Kipling

They know what the problem is. Social activism has made the military a hostile environment for young white males. Stories such as this one planted in the media are a poor pretense that they care. They don’t.

used to be if you wanted to make a man out of your son, you could as a last resort send him to the military.

But now he would be turned into a girl or raped by men if joining.

Yeah, well, when white men are blamed for every crime committed in this country now a days, why would they want to be there. You are the reason for all problems. Who wants to be a soldier today when you have to spend 18 hours a weeks in homo lover classes!!! I am damned glad I retired 32 years ago now. I couldn’t serve in the army today either. It ain’t my army any longer. It has changed. I see it in the National Guard troops out here at Fort McClellan Alabama when I go out there.
