Didn't we just have this debate in the past couple years? Xdmocrat-led Congress kept Selective Service registration for just men and Xiden signed it. They know.

Semper Fi.

Yes but it needs to be discussed again with our Republican-led Congress.

I attended a meeting in November where the guest speaker was an Army General. He said that only 25% of those of age to serve are eligible to serve. The other 75% would be ineligible due to drug use, health issues, mental issues, lack of education, etc. Of the 25% that are eligible to serve, less than 6% would consider serving. He asked us veterans to tell our stories and encourage people to enlist.

I’m sorry, after seeing all the BS going on with the armed forces, with DEI and the jabs and our government so often being cavalier about our soldiers’ lives and health, no way I would encourage my kids to enlist with the way things are. Having Biden as CiC and the woke generals in charge 🤮

My husband is also a veteran. We told our 21-year old son to choose another path.

Alice, we have a grandson Midshipman commissioning in May. Needless to say his granddad & grandmom are concerned bc of the “leadership” in place.

4 yrs ago when he received his acceptance (his dream since age 11) we all rejoiced! It’s a different time now.

We pray continuously for his health (yes, they forced shots/boosters) & now his welfare.

Thank you & your husband for your honorable service! 🇺🇸💙🤍❤️

I tired that too and 3 feel compelled to serve. I hate it, but it makes me feel honor knowing I raised them to serve something bigger than themselves. I pray we don’t go to war. So far there’s been no word in deployments.

Recruitment is down extremely low so they are panicked. Probably because they require the jabs, kick out people who refuse the poison jabs, won’t admit the adverse effects of the jabs that are disabling our service members, are totally woke and pushing the libtard agenda onto our troops with their “diversity” training, and have someone in charge who would leave them in Afghanistan to die if given the chance. THATs why no one wants to join.

You are correct. Recruitment is extremely low. Many of the people that would normally enlist...proud Americans, more conservative...are not because of all of the woke policies. Honestly, I'd be concerned if I were serving today. The military needs to focus on readiness not on all of this other BS. We would say we were as only as strong as our weakest link.

And yet Christopher Wray had the nonchalant gall to say last night, FBI recruitment is way up. Faux News and Brett Unbearable have now done their jobs of giving Wray, 45 minutes of answering nothing with word salad, and not challenge one question once answered.

I have had recruiters call me 2x about my HS senior. I told them no because of the jab and the leadership is escalading a needless war...plus they have experimented on the military people for over 100 years. He knew and didn't disagree.

Nobody wants their children in the military anymore....Zelenskyy made it pretty clear too.

Glad to hear you said that to him. Interesting that he admitted knowing it was true. I can’t imagine the impossible position our service members have been put in. And for them there’s no way out. And for us we won’t have a country without the protection of our military. It’s a no win situation. I’m glad my son got out. I would be sick 24/7 if he was still in there.

As an Air Force veteran I would not encourage anyone to enlist in today’s woke military.

That's such a low percentage. The category of Mental Issues really sticks out, especially after Biden reversed Trump's decision to not allow trans in the military. My concern with trans is if they are on hormones and if they have a mental issue. I've seen a trans man-turning-to-woman on hormones and he would just break down in tears--there was nothing stable about his emotions.

I'm told that the trans people in the military-- many of them are there simply to get their surgeries paid for by the government.

And also to get paid-for lifelong hormone drugs required to stop the body from returning to it's natural state.

They should be disqualified to serve as having severe mental issues just on the fact they they claim the "trans" label. Gender Identity Disorder is a real listed mental condition in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)

Charlie Rangel lead the charge. He thought black people were forced into indentured servitude when they enlisted. He didn't think much of our servicemen. Women. Folks. Sigh. Tiring.

Rangel was a decorated (Bronze Star) veteran of the Korean War.

Be that as it may he was also a race hustling ego maniac. Even heroes can be anti-heroes. He lived the majority of his life practicing the latter.
