The U.S. Military Was Losing Its Edge. After Iran, Everyone Knows It.

3. The military is a whole lot more than ships and planes

Which is something Shitler and Kegsbreath just don't get, nor do some in Congress. The military is its men and women, and Kegsbreath has gotten rid of some of its best top brass just because they wouldn't play kiss-ass with him.

My grandson was going to enlist until Shitler was elected. He had planned to go pretty much the same route as his uncle, A round of active duty, then the National Guard, school of some kind, and then work on heavy equipment. His ASVABS were as high as his uncle's, but he said he wanted to work on tanks "because they bring them to you and you don't have to go out on convoy to retrieve them." Smart lad! But the day after the election everything changed. Now he works construction during the summer and in restaurants during the winter. He refuses to go into the military as long as there is a RepubliKKKan president. Which is too bad for them, because he'd make a good soldier.

My other-son (my late son's best friend), who is a career NCO, can't wait to get out. He's been an Army DI for the past 15 years after having been an MP previously and says he's just over it now with Kegsbreath and counting the days. He says the quality of recruits he gets these days has gone way down since Shitler was elected and he knows why.

End of story.
