And now they are right on the Russian border, loaded for bear. Do not worry. Nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong...

What being openly politically biased does for an org.

Imagine if anyone even knew that sect 1021 of the NDAA from 2012 existed? What would this look like if so? While not directly a military issue, more of a political ruling class one, the boot boys will be the ones grabbing you when you get out of line, and your name not being Hussein won't matter.

Well, eventually even the stupidest people will wake up and realize that the US lumbers from war to war incessantly and therefore the military path to life is a gamble with becoming cannon fodder for a few years in the hopes of getting out with some life experience and benefits. On top of that, throw in the woke garbage and it's not surprising that people think less of the military.

90% of jobs in the military aren't combat related. The vast majority are support, intel, medical, bureaucratic. It's not the worst job choice if you're young, inexperienced, and lack the means or the drive to pursue a college degree and don't want just a bs job to pay the bills. The GI Bill alone is worth 4 years of active duty or X reserve duty, imo.

It's corporate DEI policies vs. woke stuff, imo. I'm seeing in my corporate job, and just as I left the military (back in olden times), I saw more liberal policies appear. They were designed to get more people to sign up and show that the military was moving away from being solely a man's profession.

Now? It's crazy that their priorities have veered so far left when the bulk of the enlisted folks definitely swing in the other direction. Shame too. I take no issues with gays or trans people in the military. If you want to serve your country, works for me. But the more you erode the core principles, the less successful any unit will be. Boot Camp for example. The reason it works is that it tears you down to nothing and then builds you back up the way they need you to be to do your job. If you remove that initiation, you undermine the very chain of command and weaken the military.

I do have a problem with the military allowing the trans cult to infiltrate it. This is one of the reasons trust in the military is down along with growing awareness of American military complicity in war crimes Under every President not named Trump.
