The Next Republican President Must Fix the Military First

 

I was there when the United States military was great, when it inspired fear instead of laughter, when it smashed whole armies in a hundred hours instead of letting a bunch of seventh-century freaks drive it out of a country that would have to work up to join the Third World.  The American armed forces had a culture of winning then; it now has a culture of not only losing but of turning on its own, destroying itself through social justice nonsense, and rejecting the warrior ethos.  [...]

by Victor Davis Hanson - July 24, 2022

 

The U.S. Army has met only 40 percent of its 2022 recruiting goals.

The military I went to basic in was a bunch of foul mouthed, insensitive hard drinking crazies with no moral compass.  No women in the combat arms back then. We sang cadence about sex and drinking. Showered naked in open fields and actions had consequences. 

 

I just talked to a guy that told recruits wash out becuse they can't handle the stress and get ptsd VA disability becuse the drill yelled at them and collect a check for life after 6 weeks of service.

Army Unsure Why Their New Slogan ‘America Is Racist, You Should Die For It’ Isn’t Getting Traction

 

FORT FARRAKHAN, CA — A U.S. Army spokesperson admitted concern today after the recent drop in recruitment numbers, despite the unveiling of the new "America Is Racist, You Should Die For It" slogan.

 

Colonel Rip Skirtsteak said the Army will continue its push for diversity in hopes of drawing more new recruits. "It's just really hard to find recruits who hate this country as they should but are also willing to put their lives on the line to protect it," Skirtsteak said as he adjusted his rainbow flag lapel pin. "We may have to switch to Plan B, which is to offer free gender reassignment surgery for everyone who signs up."

When will they start changing the process and bring in DIE HR folks to run basic training as opposed to Drill Sergeants?
