After serving 20yrs in the military, my brother 22 yrs, and my Dad, a member of the coveted "Band of Brothers, " coming in with 30yrs, I have little allegiance left; I can't help but advise all young men and women to NOT enlist at this time, the most dangerous enemy facing them is our own government. The "avoidance," type rulings the SCOTUS dishes out rans parallel with that goof ball Merrick Garland's testimony of avoiding answering questions about reports he assigned, by people who work for him! What's happened to being an American and standing up for what's right? Progressives have watered down our nation, our values, our intestinal fortitude into a liberal swill....Money says they (SCOTUS) comes out with a fluffy, wordy, do nothing ruling about Trump's immunity while president. As a former FSO, handling classified materials for 30yrs, both in the military and civilian world, I can tell you Biden broke the law, "bigly," and Trump did not...yet, here we are again, as righteous Americans, being spit on by leftists and the media...and the highest court in the land, who should develop some courage with decisions and recommendations, instead deliver a bucket of word salad...that ONLY aides the very ones who are dismantling.

Retired army wife and mother of Army veteran—don’t commission into the military either. We had a great 2-decade+ career in the Army and thought our son would too. He only ever wanted to be a Green Beret. But in his line unit (re: NOT a Green Beret unit), he encountered the poorest quality of leadership we ever witnessed. Sadly, our military is in dire straits.

And they just keep proving my son was wise to walk away from his USAF career. They clearly do not want men like him anymore.

Awhile back, someone thanked for me my service.

My reply even shocked me.

I said, "whatever."

I hate the fact that I have 3 kids draftable. I have a daughter interested in national guard, but she isn’t going because she doesn’t want to be the governments guinea pig.

I swore to uphold the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I didn’t realize at that time our worst enemies are ALL domestic!! Pray for our Military to go against unlawful orders and to be protected.
