    Maybe they should do their jobs and protect us from all threats foreign and domestic, The domestic threat is pretty dam serious these days yet here they are enabling this shit.

    No one wants to die for a dictator.

      No, they’re going to be adequately desperate. The job market is tanking. Food and housing costs are rising. People getting laid off, trying to find a new career, and drowning in the rising costs may well see appeal in a guaranteed job with guaranteed housing.

    I bet that physical fitness requirements are going to be the next to get tweaked. Let’s drop our standards so we can throw more meat at Iran.

    That flag patch is on backwards, isn’t it? I’m pretty sure the blue field is supposed to be leading when the wearer would be walking forward.

      My drill sergeant once said that every soldier in media who isn’t a real soldier will have a fucked up uniform somewhere due to it being illegal to impersonate a military member. The fubar’d uniform is to protect them from stolen valor allegations as there is nothing illegal about wearing a uniform top or pants as long as you’re not trying to pass yourself off as an actual soldier or vet. Putting flags on wrong, missing insignia, stuff like that is intentional in a lot of cases where its actors portraying them instead of actual soldiers. Whether that’s actually true or not, I have no idea, I wasn’t in a habit of questioning drill sergeant at the time.

        I think it’s some fool in dress up. The camo is properly consistent with the seams, but the army patch and flag patches are on the wrong side.

    Didn’t Trump say in his State of the Union address that the military was meeting its enlistment goals?

      he also said this…

      “So I said, ‘Let me ask you a question, and [the guy who makes boats in South Carolina] said, ‘Nobody ever asked this question,’ and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT —very smart. He goes, I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’ By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks? I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, ‘I think it’s a good question.’ I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that.”

      “Didn’t Trump say”. What Trump says rarely correlates with reality, and king hypocrite does not give a fuck that you know he’s a hypocrite, nor do the minor hypocrites that follow him. Pointing it out is a waste of time, like yelling at a zombie that you got them on camera eating someone. They. Don’t. Care. Infact, the “higher functioning” ones love that it bothers us.

      A draft would tear this country in half. Not that it would stop them, but it wouldn’t result in very many new bodies but would make the Vietnam protests look tame

      I know I would sooner be court marshalled than join the military. I wonder what the response would be like in the general population if they tried this. My hopium says it wouldn’t fly, but I’ve seen how shitty my fellow countrymen and women can be.

    Struggling recruitment?

    What unpatriotic fool doesn’t want to die in a pointless war on behalf of the pedo-in-chief who calls those who do “suckers and losers”?

        Tbh the SS (certainly in the earlier stage of the war) were will respected by the Nazi regime.

        Trump tries to really people whilst openly disrespecting them. I don’t know how people remain loyal to that fuckhead.
