“The U.S. Army recently announced that it is cutting thousands of positions. Authorized troop levels will now be an estimated 470,000 by fiscal year 2029, down 24,000 from its 494,000 soldiers.”

Take that Putin!!! We don’t need no troops because WE ARE AMERICA and thus WE ARE INVINCIBLE!

You claim they are calling up retirees?

And are there any major changes in the routine rules for calling back retired officers in this new document?

Our military readiness hasn’t diminished. At least that’s what Freeper war-mongers would have you think. They can’t even get anyone to enlist in our Armed Services. Pretty pathetic that the government has to tap people who have already served their country to fight the wars they have planned. And after making it mandatory that every person serving had to get the clot shots. What a bunch of freaking ingrates.

Welcome back soldier. Now before we begin to get you back into physical shape, you need to know that some things have changed. Well, a lot of things to be honest with you.

For instance, just because a soldier looks like a male or female, that does not mean that they "really" are, but we have rules and guidelines on how you must handle this situation.

To get you started, here is a list of changes that will help you become used to the Brave New Wokelitary you can be proud (as in rainbow "Pride") if you have what it takes to be conform to the new standards:

Military.com, 2020: Here's the Marine Corps' Plan to End Gender Segregation at Boot Camp. The Marine Corps was tasked with explaining its short- and long-term plans for integrating recruit training, which was mandated by the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. Signed into law in December, 2020. “Gender integration at Marine Corps Recruit Training remains a top priority." “The outcome the Marine Corps desires for gender integration is for every male recruit to train alongside a female recruit within the same company.”” All-male recruit companies trained solely by men will be made “obsolete,”

Top Marine stresses need for more female infantry officers, research on 1-year paid maternity leave 2/25/2020, 5:18:38 PM · by jazusamo · 87 replies The Washington Times ^ | February 25, 2020 | Douglas Ernst The nation’s top Marine, Commandant Gen. David Berger, took to social media Tuesday morning to stress the service’s “most important matters.” Yet to get an abortion=murder their child, Navy service members are to be reimbursed for travel expenses and if they need to go to a different state they can be provided with up to three weeks off, with pay.

The Blaze, December 22, 2022: Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am/mater’ to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors The University of Pittsburgh received $2 million to conduct the study, which examined gender-integrated recruit training in military settings. "The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment," the report claimed. Marine Corps leaders are reportedly not convinced that transitioning to gender-neutral salutations would be as simple as the 739-page report suggests.

Biden Pentagon Orders Military Chaplains To Bless Putting Male Soldiers In Female Showers And Bedrooms, The Federalist : if a person “self-identifies” as a person of the opposite sex, and if the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) changes a person’s bureaucratic “gender marker,” a man claiming to be a woman must be treated as a woman, and vice versa... Revised rules also permit cross-dressing and other “transitioning” behaviors while in “on-duty status.”... regulations do not protect or even mention rights of religious liberty for chaplains and people of faith. Nor do they provide options for doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel who object to transgender ideology on moral or ethical grounds.<

Moreover, based on Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) diagnosis codes related to transgenderism, tthe number of occurrences in active-duty military is on the rise—and it’s an exponential rise.

Along with this, Pentagon study finds rising suicide rates in military 9/27/2019, 12:49:01 AM · by fwdude · 26 replies The Hill ^ | 09/26/19 | Ellen Mitchell Suicide rates in the military were higher in 2018 compared to the previous five years despite efforts to prevent such deaths, according to an annual Pentagon report released Thursday. A total of 541 active duty, National Guard and Reserve troops committed suicide last year, the Department of Defense Annual Suicide Report found.

Heritage Index Rates Navy, Marines ‘Marginal’ In Ability to Counter Current Threats 11/4/2019, 11:30:14 AM · by robowombat · 25 replies USNI News ^ | October 30, 2019 8:01 PM | John Grady Heritage Index Rates Navy, Marines ‘Marginal’ In Ability to Counter Current Threats By: John Grady October 30, 2019 8:01 PM The Navy and the Marine Corps have been assessed as “marginal” in their ability to meet the challenges from rival powers in Beijing and Moscow, as well as regional threats coming from Tehran and Pyongyang, according to annual report on U.S. military strength from The Heritage Foundation

Pentagon Report: China Now Has World’s Largest Navy as Beijing Expands Military Influence 9/2/2020, 7:28:08 PM · by Retain Mike · 8 replies US Naval Institute ^ | September 1, 2020 5:31 PM | John Grady

Countering this is the news of, The Pentagon Forming a Diversity and Inclusion Office, and allowing transgenders to serve in the military,

and with the Pentagon even ensuring free gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel,

while the chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer at the Department of Defense's education wing, a self-described "woke administrator," attacked a person for having the ""CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too,"

while Army mandatory training now including training Army personnel to know what to do in such scenarios as when a soldier who was "assigned" a biological gender at birth says he/she identifies as another gender, and lives as such in off-duty hours, but is not requesting to be treated as such while on duty, versus if such later requests to be identified as according to their chosen gender during duty hours, and/or experiences increased distress relating to his/her gender identity;

while apparently as part of the Naval Sea Systems Command Inclusion & Engagement Council’s Diversity Team's video series called “NAVSpEAks,” the Navy posts video on "the importance of using correct pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of someone's pronouns"

as 'Keep Trying' — Naval Sea Systems Command Tells Americans to Advance Transgenderism,

consistent with "Navy Says Sailors Can Use Whichever Locker Room Suits Their Gender Identity,"

as well as the Air Force being with WOKEism in creating 'LGBTQ' and 'Indigenous Nations Equality' Focus Groups,

and also authorizing the use of gender pronouns in signature blocks,

and hosting a drag show at festival at Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE) on July, 2022, which also includes a poem on “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” and also posted a tweet celebrating Pride Month that depicted a U.S. soldier saluting not the American flag, but a Pride flag,

and the Army arms itself with a woke recruitment ad featuring lesbians at a gay wedding and an LGBTQ pride march,

and the CIA funds a 'cisgender millennial with anxiety disorder' campaign, and with the

Marines and Navy as well as the Air Force and Army posting messages on social media supporting gay pride and Pride Month,

with the former posting rainbow bullets, and the latter a rainbow colored arm and hand in salute (essentially to the flag of Sodom)

and with the Navy naming a military ship after the immoral gay rights leader Harvey Milk, and (now) with a transgender veteran christening it,

along with the Navy's first all gay U.S. Navy helicopter crew,

as well as enlisting a drag queen, who is an active duty sailor, in a “digital ambassador” program aimed at targeting a wider array of potential recruits through digital platforms like Instagram,

thereby adding to the list surrender to demons such as,

U.S. Army Announces the Allowance of Lipstick, Nail Polish, and Better Breastfeeding

In the Battle for Inclusion, U.S. Navy Employs the Weapon of Interior Decorating

Navy Says Sailors Can Use Whichever Locker Room Suits Their Gender Identity

U.S. Army Revolutionizes Its Fitness Standards so Girls Can Pass

Army Secretary Champions What’s ‘Important’: Making ‘Marginalized Communities’ ‘Feel Included’

The Army Will Force Female Soldiers to Shower With Biological Males,

and with military generals calling for Increased Diversity and More Women in Combat,

and changing its song to be gender-neutral,

and Forcing Marines to Make Boot Camp Coed,

and feeding cadets cultural Marxist propaganda about gender and masculinity therein,

to its new diversity and inclusion operation from West Point

and for its Special Operations Command ,

while showing a rapid response readiness to engage in online combat with the likes of Tucker Carson and other such enemies

thus nuking Jesus-themed candies on an Air Force bases

(although turbans and hijabs are allowed,) stop making faith-based Dog Tags,

and prohibiting service members from “liking” or reposting "extremist" views on social media (depending on all the circumstances involved) as part of its prohibition against actively engaging in extremist activities,

Which behavior is consistent with working to rid the military itself of “extremism

such as the head of the US Space Force unit being fired and put under investigation for criticizing Critical Race Theory,

while the US Army is teaching officers at the Command General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth that white people can’t experience racism. The definition of racism is taught in an elective course called “Race and Gender in U.S. Military History” which is available for up to 32 students each year. The course also defines gender as “a set of socially constructed characteristics, such as norms and behaviors, typically associated with being masculine, feminine, androgynous, or other.” “The Command and General Staff College is at the forefront of building Army leaders ready to fight and win our nation’s wars,” Camara told American Military News.

Then though in a somewhat personal civilian incident, a New Jersey mother was reported to local police by a U.S. Army Lt. Col because she criticized her child's elementary school for displaying posters in the hallway about sexual preferences. U.S. Army Lt. Col. Christopher Schilling also used his military title to engage in an email thread with U.S. Air Force Major Nathanial Lesher, who assured Schilling that he would forward his concern to North Hanover Township Police Chief Robert Duff "for awareness." Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst confirmed that it notified law enforcement about the exchange as part of "common information-sharing practice among law enforcement entities."

O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. (Ezra 9:6)

Which shame has as its capstone of damnation not only paying for troops and their family members to travel for abortions but the promotion of the abomination of homosexual unions and its relations, which are overall deleterious to individuals and the nation, thereby essentially saluting the flag of Sodom, as of United States of Sodom:

Also, last I saw, More Than 75% Of Americans Aged 17-24 Aren’t Fit For Military Service: (DOD) 77% of Americans in the above age group could not physically qualify to enter the armed forces – a 6% increase from 2017..CDC statistics also show that 19 percent of active-duty service members suffered from obesity in 2020, which is up from 16 percent in 2015. A U.S. Army general bluntly said that young Americans are either too obese, too sick, or too criminal to serve in the military. we have are obesity, we have pre-existing medical conditions, we have behavioral health problems, we have criminality, people with felonies, and we have drug use,” Lt. Gen. Xavier Brunson told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington.

And the Army dropped grenade throwing as a requirement to graduate because new recruits could not throw far enough. “We are finding that there are a large number of trainees that come in that quite frankly just physically don’t have the capacity to throw a hand grenade 20 to 25 [82 feet] to 30 meters."

Consistent with such, physical fitness assessment failures being now scrubbed from sailors’ records, a clean slate that will allow them to remain in the service,

and with lower fitness standards for women in the Army,

while nearly half of female soldiers are still failing the new Army Fitness Test,

Also, there is the Intellectual Decline of the Army Officer Corps. The size of the U.S. military in 2017 was half of what it was in 1990, and in general I think many signed up for the benefits rather than patriotism. 16% were women and racial and ethnic minorities made up 43%, and a poll from the Military Times and Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families conducted in July 2020, 49.9 percent of 1,018 active-duty military respondents had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. That poll showed Biden with a 4-percentage-point lead over Trump

Fewer Americans want to serve in the military. Cue Pentagon panic 4/10/2019, 6:55:46 PM · by GuavaCheesePuff · 70 replies The Guardian ^ | April 10, 2019 | William M. Arkin.official military polling shows that fewer and fewer young Americans consider the military as a career or as a transitional step – only some 12.5% – the lowest number in a decade.

Yet despite conservatives being the most patriotic, the Army’s top civilian leader pushed back amid Republican criticisms that the military is going too "woke," arguing such critiques are deepening an already troubling recruiting crisis.

If you are retired and collecting your mailbox money, you get called back up, you then can’t maintain standards, they discharge you (maybe in some cases dishonorably), would you then collect your previous retirement? or is this a way to stop paying some?

We have allowed rigged elections and let the WEF and CCP actually poison our military with vaccines that we KNOW are killing our service members. Any psychopath out there still pretending that our country isn’t deeply betrayed from within needs his own 6ft of piano wire for his or her execution. You evil people in the FBI or DOJ or Homeland or whatever that you are pretending be a part of...need to understand that what has been done to this country is HIGH treason and if you won’t face the truth... you are traitors at this point. STOP RIGGING ELECTIONS. Good people can fix this but we must have accountability and destroy the evil people who rig elections and have gotten insanely rich doing it... The Government of the United States of America is currently being run by people involved in CHILD HUMAN SACRIFICE... our enemies know this and that is what they are exploiting you cowardly bastards. The CCP doesn’t care if Hollywood, DC politicians or any of your are involved... it is a feature for them. For the love of God.. stop rigging elections and you might actually get to live in a free country... otherwise... you will get a bullet, just like the rest of us you moron.

And I bet they won’t be joined by any warmongering Zeepers.

This has come around again gives the draft dodgers from the 60’s their kicks I guess...

This is what I posted last time...

“The age limit is 70”

Bummer...still too damn old...

After 9-11 tried to join back up and they said I was to old.

Maybe they will eventually want a very fit 75 year old...
