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"?

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

[-] TransNeko@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

it certainly has to work less to do so now.

Seems as though they've made a blunder in all their anti-DEI bigotry and trans hate purges.

The members of the SS cannot belong to the same groups they persecute

They’re gonna a get us in so deep they’ll need to start drafting up to that age. Just you wait. These fuckers are crazy.

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.

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.

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.
