“So I certainly would not fight for my country. “
It is a good question. What in USA is it that is worth fighting for? Common values? The Freedoms we enjoy? Motherland? Common Goals and destination? Common Culture?
The military should begin preferring GenZ females as priority candidates.
Yep. WW3, here we come.
YAHOO! </sarc>
Thanks deep staters, thanks PedoJoe. The globalists think that by bringing on WW3, their ‘side’ can win, enslaving and controlling the survivors. We know their number (666) and we know who wins, and it isn’t them!
MARANATHA!
I’d like to think it is the incompetence of Recruiting Command, but I am beginning to suspect you are correct. But I’ve thought the army is too big and too stupid to plan/execute/hide a conspiracy like that...
Army families are strongly promoted by the Army. They know it helps lock servicemen and servicewomen into the force.
This is typical Army stepping on-its-d*ck. Too many losers in senior leadership to figure any of this out.
I have heard that the military is inviting the unjabbed back and they are not returning - no trust.
Yeah, I saw that heart attack story - I won’t put into words what I was thinking.
Personally, young cousin just graduated HS in the spring & was seriously considering the military, even met with a recruiter (his dad went with him). “We”, including his grandpa, an Air Force vet, talked him out of enlisting. He’s a good kid, not woke at all & a Christian, plus with a CIC (& top brass IMO) that could give a rat’s rear end about the personal welfare of the troops, & the current lack of a moral, even common sense environment, the military now is not the place for him.
Exactly !
No need to do anything. This Regime becomres more futile every day.
I wonder if they’ll have target the illegals? All seem to be fit and of military age, no family.
Either that or the government wants to rid our country of men and replace them with illegals?
When I first heard that theory, I thought it was nuts and fake.
I no longer think it is fake
“The Army has roughly 10,000 recruiters”
The problem isn’t needing to add more recruiters but maybe getting the diversity recruiters off their lazy butts and recruit!
The Army has 482,416 soldiers. That’s 48 soldiers per recruiter.
I know corporations with 100,000 employees who do not have 2,500 recruiters that the Army would have.
Par for the course. Things are:
SNAFU,
TARFU,
FUBAR,
and of course BOHICA.
Hurry up and wait. Spent half my time sleeping on ammo crates in the back of a duece and a half.
Signnn by up now to be part of Biden’s Gaza police force
If you’re selling a crap product nobody wants, it really doesn’t matter how many salesmen you hire.
Worst recruiting poster ever. Left handed and sloppy at that.
B...b...b...but I see the movies where 100lb women beat up 6 200lb guys and don’t break a sweat!
That would be a "NO".
We are screwed if we must go up against multiple peer group military forces That would be Russia or China for sure. Possibly even Turkey.
The technology has changed, and we have gotten complacent, allowing our edges to slip. In particular, we do not have sound doctrines to deal with anti-ship missiles or modern air defense systems, or artillery supported by drone attack craft. Our adversaries have better technology and more experience with many of these areas.
Against any single opponent we can most likely prevail. We are not prepared to deal with the massive casualties that will occur, not do we have the industrial capacity to sustain a full-scale war for any length of time.
Against multiple theatre attacks, we would simply need to pick the ones we will lose and which one we will press for a victory. Hard choices.
We are not prepared to deal with a wave of terrorist attacks within our own country, which can disable most of our key infrastructure within a few weeks. We have allowed too many hostile immigrants to cross our non-existent borders.
We have incompetent generals and politicians who impose rules of engagement that guarantee failure. Who wants to sign up for a deal like that?
All of those problems can be fixed but not by new recruiting efforts nor by a draft.
A large number of people must lose their phony baloney jobs and be gone from the picture.
I was drafted on November 22, 1965 in Philadelphia. There were 110 of us, we were told they needed volunteers for the Marines. If non, 10% of us would go to the Marines. Well, they ones acting up all morning, were sent over.
With today’s youth, there will be NO DRAFT. They would burn the place down. No respect for anyone.
I couldn’t find this story at the Military Times link.
