My SIN is in the 82nd. He says moral is shit. He lacks all confidence in leadership. There are a lot of problems behind the scenes beyond woke indoctrination and woke leadership that you would never know about by watching the news. You certainly wouldn’t hear about it from a recruiter. A $50k bribe won’t fix those problems and it will not attract the right recruits. The military can only be fixed from the top down. That begins with the Commander-in-chief and the joint chiefs. All their asses need to be fired. Clean up needs to continue down to the BC level. Half the BC’s in the 82nd are just political animals. There should be zero room for that in our military.
The military can only be fixed from the top down.
But this is also a time to infiltrate the military with good young men with a long term perspective.
History does teach us than situations change.
Hopefully if there is a career involved, it may be possible to quietly navigate the obstacle course long enough to retire. Stay under the radar.
Oh, and thanks for the service.
