freedom-hater sicko-pig

I'm thrilled, but we can get those numbers lower.

Edit should have put this in the dunk tank.

They’ve essentially been taught that rules and law and order don’t matter and that the underlining American structure is to blame for any and all wrongdoing.

michael-laugh LMAO at US Military and "rules based order"

nicholson-yes underlining American structure is to blame for any and all wrongdoing. amerikkka

What's wild is that even the promises of "after 4 years the government will take care of you for life" are so obviously untrue because you can go to any city in this country and find a street lined with homeless veterans with severe mental health problems.

The advertised value proposition is so false on its face for anyone who has left the house in the last thirty years.

... 4 years the government will take care of you for life

Its weird, I don't think that even is a thing in the military. But I HAVE heard civilians talk about the military like it does that and it blew their minds when I told them that it doesn't.

Americans truly are the most propagandized people on earth

I genuinely think so many of this country's "problems" with the youth is due to the massive increase in atheism

Gay sex, t*******, furries, vaping, and lack of suicidal patriotism

Do not, under any circumstances, fuck the troops

One thing they fail to address (bc Chud site obvioisly) is that many Chuds who would normally be Gung ho in the military aren't renewing because they hate Biden. They literally think he's "destroying military". One of my old coworkers was a former recruiter and he would go on rants to me about how biden is a communist and he made his brother (whom he got into the military) get out because of it. These people have no critical thinking skills. It's all reactionary.

this is hilarious

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

That’s pretty much the vibe I get from watching guntube content. It’s making a lot of people post small unit tactics and battle drills online so that’s either concerning or cool depending if you’re into that or not.

American chuds are the masters of purposefully destroying any institution where things don't go their way 200% of the time.

Memo to Washington: Turns out you can only fuck over young people to the point of literally sending their future up in flames before they stop signing up to enrich the already-obscene horde your visibly decaying ass is perched atop even further.

Hey CHUDs, "no one owes you anything" remember?

Pick yourselves up by the bootstraps and enlist.

Yes actually.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago

Lowest in...80 years? That doesn't sound right. Wasn't there like, a big war or something 80 years ago and the US conscripted a whole bunch of people?

[-] Saeculum@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

1943 saw 8 million people in the US military, we have to go back to 1941 to see it smaller than it is today.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I was mainly joking, but I think it is interesting that they use the term "in 80 years" rather than "before ww2." The second paints a very different picture and might have Americans question why their military has needed to be so large, bigger than it was during the biggest war in history.

We've tried berating them and ruining their future, why don't they love this country?!

18 year old kids know it isn't a good deal. If their parents have insurance and are able to keep it, they'll be covered until they're 26, and having student loan debt probably isn't as scary to them if they've seen multiple people (older siblings and friends) in their lives talk about it and be (relatively) okay. At the same time as that, there's also been enough of a reaction against going to college/taking on big debts that the idea of learning a trade is having a comeback as well. Given that 4 years is a hell of a long time at 18 and the prospect of an extremely structured environment sounds pretty bad to lots of people, it's a no-brainer that kids aren't even considering it.

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Yes. HAHAHA. Yes.

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I really dont think more kids are not joining because they are more woke i think its because theyre unable to pass the asvab and more fat. I think they got stricter with medical stuff too
