Because "white privilege" ... say it loud, say it proud and rub their f'n noses in it!

They wanted this woke sh*t in the military, they got it. Deal with it.

Not to worry, when they need cannon fodder, then they’ll simply draft them.

Today's U.S. military is does not have the culture to train and discipline conscripts. It's not going to happen.

I did my job back in 68 to 73, back then Marines were only issued in ONE COLOR——GREEN!

Those of us on the line didn’t have time for any of this pussy bullshit that goes on now days.

You had a job, you did it or died trying.

Social media sites of full of comments regarding this article where military fathers are stating they would not let their son or daughter join the military. Most state their families have a long history of military service. Those are usually the ones that make the best service member. I suspect for the foreseeable future that recruitment source has disappeared.

Gone are the days of plentiful recruits who are southern boys who grew up on the farm tossing hay bales and working outside. The ones who have tinkered with motors and was proficient with firearms by the age of 12 are no longer looking at the military as a career.

The military will have to look at those college boys and Antifa or inner city thugs to find anyone to join. And oh boy, is our military going to suck. They will shoot on Americans before they engage any enemy of the US, but hopefully they will be so incompetent those southern white boys will not find them much of a challenge.

The military is following all of the leftist directives and it is the left that is saying all problems of society are caused by white people. When the left decides to implement the Final Solution, the military will carry out their orders.

The first thing I want to say in response is a heart felt thank you for your service to our country. I was unable to serve due to a vision issue I have so I want to express my sincere appreciation for your doing what I was unable to.

Second, I hope you were not offended in any way by my comment. It was my attempt of demonstrating absurdity by being absurd, in the spirit of Rush Limbaugh.

We live in a much different time than '68 - '73 and there is (apparently) no such thing as service to ones country for sake of serving one's country anymore. From where I sit far outside the military, it's all about political correctness, being "woke" and using our military to project ideals that are not reflective of the long standing core values of our country. My hope before I die, is that the existing "leadership" is kicked to the curb soon and our country is restored back to the values which made us great and the shining city on the hill that President Reagan once spoke of.

In closing, my own father who (rip) was a US Marine would agree 1,000% with you. I can hear him shouting your words in my head.
