If they put in even HALF as much effort to IMPROVING the country as they do CHEATING to win elections they would never lose.

Recruitment for ICE also surging...

Ironic on some level.

Loading M107/795s all day for days in Afghanistan/Iraq made me miss bailing hay.

Very happy to moved on to rockets.

Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson insist that "Crime is down" and there is no justification or need for National Guard troops in Chicago and its suburbs.

"It’s your funeral, New York."

That"s my point! The people of NYC and of the
state of New York seem determined to destroy themselves.
Let New York do it. They can keep Schumer, AOC, Mamdani.
We can't save them from their suicidal behavior.
Let them suffer when the collapse occurs.

About this time 49 years ago, I was at Jump School at Fort Benning. There were a few women in my class, and they were treated very differently. While the Black Hats (instructors) were dropping butterbars like me 50+ times a day, the women were treated with kid gloves.

Didn’t bother me, it was part of the game. I was in the best shape of my life when I pinned those wings on. I’m just saying there were different standards there.

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it's dangerous
But it sure beats Riker's
But the next day he got offed
By the very same bikers

Nope.
I know a lot of Asian visa holders, not even one of them supports assassinating political opponents.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has argued that an end to “wokeness” and a wave of patriotism spurred by the election of President Trump to a second term is driving recruiting success in the US armed forces.

My neighbor's son-in-law is an E-7 Army recruiter and he concurs.

Also having one set of physical standards for both sexes and phasing females out of the combat arms is another overall morale booster for recruitment. (Hell, being in the field artillery was hard enough on ME!)

Many people believe Pence was Sean Hannity’s idea, being that Hannity opposed Trump’s nomination in favor of Cruz, Rubio, and Carson, even Carly Fiorina.
It is believed that Pence was told by McCain, etc, that Trump would not last a year in office, so Pence was appointed to be his successor. He expected to be president, at latest, in 2020 election.

Pence threw the Little Sisters of the Poor under the bus in favor of the rainbow freaks when governor of Indiana. That’s all you need to know about him.

Here’s my answer since I didn’t find one in the article:

A Commander In Chief who puts America First.

I certainly thought he was a good choice. Very low key, no scandals... man was I shocked.

Ah, I see where you went with that. Is good. Thanks.

Ohhhhh, so it wasn’t that they worried about being sent to die in some s-hole by a man in a dress, all for the Big Guy’s 10%. The massive recruitment surge under Trump has nothing to do with Trump’s leadership, you see, it’s just the aspiring soldiers needed a job corps program.

BEAT NAVY!

Ok, it is still a bit early in the year for it but it just fit.

Very much makes sense
