When Trump wins he will build military back up. Just like Reagan after Carter reduced it

I'm shocked the military can't find 500k DEI loving transvestites to volunteer. Think the USSS debacle at Trump's rally was embarrassing? Wait 'till our next hot war.... we're gonna get waxed.
What a mess.

What a mess.
The military retention rate needed is down 45 percent. All you have to do is talk to those that just left. The Air Force sent out an email to all Air Force and Air Guard soldiers a few months back "Celebrating their first transgender drill instructor". One that retired asked me how would I like to take orders from an 'it' like that? They came up with gay pride patches and encouraged soldiers to wear them on their uniform for gay pride month. Couldn't make them but told them they would either accept it or say nothing. They've now got a 'You're Hurting My Feelings' card. If they are getting chewed out they hold it up and the officer must walk away and leave them alone. If the exercises or long march is not what they want to do they hold up that card, go over and sit down. They have to leave them alone even if they want to sit there the rest of the day. A high school diploma or a GED is now not required to enlist. I can go on and on. The liberal democrats have destroyed the country with all the debt and free printed money they have done and now the military is almost brought down, too.

My nephew who is stationed at Ft Stewart GA says it's all true and getting worst by the day. He has 432 days to go and there will be one less soldier in the Army. Per my nephew very few real soldiers are reenlisting.

Yeah, my son is stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and I can attest to it as well. He can't wait to get out. He says we're screwed, and the public doesn't know the half of it.

We could blow every country off the map with some nerd in a air conditioned trailer in Arizona with a joy stick controlling a drone.
The idea that the next global war is going to have some boots on the ground d-day scenario is hilariously inaccurate.
Our military power is leaps and bounds more advanced than every other country.

and training large scale combat operations. A digital, remote war is not likely, but it will augment LSCO.
What's crazy is how UAVs are being used and information warfare. Military organizations can shape the battlefield with social media before boots hit the ground.

Waxed sounds bad but it’s gentle when in reality it would be murder, rape, and enslavement of this country. China already has part of their army here……just waiting for the green light. And we talk about tigers….

Shhh.
Best not speak the truth. You'll upset people who mistakenly believe that our military can still protect us.
The only people capable of governing themselves and prosecuting or winning wars are all literally attending MAGA rallies these days. Patriots. Who have coincidentally have been labeled as "domestic terrorists" by the little band of Marxists currently running Washington D.C.
When/if SHTF D.C. will sell us out to save their a$$. They know they don't have the chops to hang on to power without help from the outside.
Hopefully I'm wrong....but the only way I think we have an "election" this fall is if they know the fix is in and they are certain of the outcome. Otherwise....I expect something unprecedentedly bad to happen this fall. If Trump somehow ends up back in office he and his government are going scorched earth. There's no way D.C. is gonna let that happen.

It's really scary how Biden and the rest of the Democrats have destroyed this country. Because of the woke policy's many young people from generations of family service in the military are not joining. I know 3 people who's children were going to make a career in the military are getting out because of the woke agenda. Really sad to see.

Or maybe there are so many potential career choices now you don't have to sign up for getting chewed up and spit out by the military industrial complex.
What's sad is that it's considered a last resort for so many people.

Are you serious? Please tell me that you don't believe that nonsense. First your incorrect comment about not having "Boots on the Ground" and now the last resort. Some of our nations best and brightest feel the call to serve. Heck, I'm nothing special and I left CU with a 4.0 and President's list for all 3 years. Are there plenty of absolute mouth breathers in the military? Sure, but one, they wrote that check, and two many of them are among our best. Sorry if I'm reading it wrong, but dang....

I am in favor of mandatory service for everyone at age 18. A 2 year active duty commitment and a 3 year reserve duty. I served 6 years in the US Air Force and it was one of the best decisions I made. I grew disciplined, matured, learned to follow as well as lead and most importantly learned that " Freedom is not free." I also met friends who I share a lifelong bond with. I always here people talk about how much they love this country...Then I ask are you a patriot or a citizen? A patriot takes an oath, puts on the uniform, and endures being away from family on holidays/special occasions to protect our way of life. A military enlistment requirement will truly develop a generations of individuals with a better appreciation for this country.

QB ... I don't disagree w/you, but I don't see the anti-military, progressive left approving a return to the draft. Our reality is that in every war gaming scenario against China/Russia, we lose. I expect China to "re-unify" with Taiwan in the next 6 months ... and we can't do anything to stop it on Cina's home turf. GOD bless the U.S.

There will be more than enough $$$ for that precisely when the Fed Government stops paying for illegals. Or sending billions to Ukraine.
Oh, that's right they're already stealing from Veterans and Medicare to pay for that. Anyways, I'm sure they can just print more $$$.
Inflation is overrated.

I think that is a good idea. Similar to Israel. More likely is a requirement to serve in a government position for 2 years after high school. The 2 years could be military or civil service.
