Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
The generals and admirals are in a tizzy because the cannon fodder is refusing to sign on the line that is dotted. The generals and admirals blame those mostly traditional, conservative American kids for not wanting to join up, and this is the closest thing to right those admirals and generals have been for decades. The kids themselves have decided that they don’t want to join the current faux military. And why the hell would they?
People join the military for mixed reasons, but there’s always some level of patriotism involved. Nobody takes the ration of crap that even a competent military delivers without, at least somewhere in their hearts, the desire to serve their country. So, let’s review the status of the country that the generals and admirals demand our young people risk their lives for. Will our young people be fighting for freedom? Will our young people be defending liberty? Will they be putting it all on the line for Our Democracy?
What a joke. There are consequences for squandering institutional trust for short-term advantage, and one of them is that no one will want to die for you.
We’re watching the chief political opponent of the current PINO – the president-in-name-only – get prosecuted by that same PINO’s Department of Justice (sic) for fake crimes and invented offenses. It’s all a lie and a scam. It’s obvious he’s being framed. And it’s obvious to those young people that they would be submitting themselves to being commanded by an alleged commander-in-chief who is trying to knock the guy who many polls have beating him out of the race by throwing him in jail on trumped-up charges. Incidentally, the victim of this weaponized DOJ is a guy who appeals to the sort of conservative people who tend to join the military. Yeah, I can see how they might not be eager to die for a country that tolerates these banana republic shenanigans.
Oh, and then they get to watch the son of the PINO get an amazing sweetheart deal of no jail time for not paying his taxes and carrying a gun around as a druggie, as well as a free pass apparently everything else he ever did. Many of those potential recruits have friends and family doing hard time for crimes that the Fortunate Son is getting a slap on his wrist for. Yah America!
At the same time, let’s look at who’s getting prosecuted besides our former president. One of the co-conspirators in this massive conspiracy to keep boxes of presidential papers, which are perfectly legal for him to have, is a veteran of the US Navy. Where is his diversion deal? Just kidding! The vet is being threatened with federal prison. He wasn’t a crackhead. He never waved a gun around. He was not doing business with the Commies and shady Ukrainian oligarchs. His laptop’s browser history was not like something you might expect to see on a Lincoln Project desktop. No, he just believes a lot of the same political stuff that the very guys who the generals and admirals want to enlist believe. And he’s going to federal prison while Methboy McStripperbanger is getting away scot-free – and remember that Hunter got booted out of the Navy after one day. So, there’s the respect and gratitude that our establishment holds for military service. Sign up and you too can get some of that respect and gratitude too!
Let’s look at the attitude of the military towards the people who they want to enlist. Many are white males who know which bathroom to use, but if you’re a white male who knows which bathroom to use, you’re an extremist and a racist and an enemy and you’re going to get passed over for promotions and assignments for people based not on anything that you did, and not because of merit, but purely because of your race, sex, and normality. “Come, join an organization that actively hates you!” is not much of a sales pitch.
But, potential recruits, America needs you to defend…well, not our own borders, but how about Ukraine’s? They say there is no chance of US boots on the ground even as the big offensive flounders and the Russians – as they have done throughout history – build back from initial defeats. But you can trust the PINO and the generals and admirals, right? Just like we trusted the establishment’s claims about Iraq’s WMDs. Our elite has got quite a stellar record on foreign wars lately, but maybe, as PINO Biden has threatened, you can someday fight other Americans at home to preserve leftist power! You can bet that’s one war they would put their heart into winning.
But the military is run by great leaders of integrity, right? Putting aside the aforementioned total failure to win, and the height/weight standard-exempt transexual and “puppy play” weirdo officers who the military sees fit to allow to lead our young men and women, here are two words for you about the current state of our senior officer corps: Fat Leonard.
Well, the military leadership is still tactically squared away, right? Sorry. When the generals and admirals’ gross incompetence gets you killed, like it got 13 of our troops killed in Kabul during the humiliating headlong retreat (you can read about it in the new book Kabul: The Untold Story of Biden’s Fiasco and the American Warriors Who Fought to the End by Jerry Dunleavy and James Hasson), you can be sure no one will ever be held accountable. And when you get killed for nothing and your body comes home, maybe the PINO will show up to see the metal box with what’s left of you being wheeled out of a C-17and check his watch because he’s bored and he doesn’t want to miss Matlock. Clearly, the Big Guy would rather be at home in the White House, counting his 10%. Oh, and when your family wants to bury you in Arlington with the other heroes, the military won’t come up with the money to ship your body there. Your family can scrounge for that – maybe they can do a GoFundMe. But there’s no shortage of money to pay for drag queen story hours at the newly re-named Fort Angela Davis.
Well, at least you’ll be part of the most lethal and effective military in human history, right? Right? Nope. The Chinese have out-built us in ships. Their technology is better, and they are serious about fighting while we are serious about frivolity. The generals and admirals tell us that diversity is our strength. Personally, I would rather have lots of 155mm shells, but our ammunition stocks are depleted. We haven’t unequivocally won a major war in 30 years, but we learned our lesson, right? Except absolutely no one‘s been held accountable for the failures of the last three decades, and when no one’s held accountable nothing changes.
Okay, maybe the military is facing some challenges, but your family served for generations and you don’t want to break that legacy, do you? Vets will tell you that their service was an important part of their lives so maybe you should join too, right? The military was an important part of our lives, and that’s why it’s so painful to recommend young people stay the hell out of our current woke military until we get real leadership and real reform. Make no mistake, if a young person chooses to serve, we will back him or her – there are only hims and hers – 110%, but the painful truth is that our military as currently constituted has proven itself unworthy of the young Americans it seeks to enlist. This is not the military we vets served in. It’s unclear that we even have a military at all anymore, rather than a social justice petri dish in camouflage drag.
Here is the hard reality. If you choose to join this military, you’re putting your lives in the hands of people who, at the highest level, don’t care about you at best and hate you at worst and are grossly corrupt and grossly incompetent. When you die, likely because of their utter failure to adequately perform their duties at even the most basic level of proficiency, your families going to get shafted and you’ll be forgotten or disrespected. And if you think this makes me happy to write, you’re dumb or dishonest enough to be a modern general or admiral.

“Our” military is not defensive. Colonel Keyboard knows that – he murdered foreign innocents from his laptop.
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” ― Karl Rove

Abolish the state.
An excellent quote that brings thinkers around to asking the right questions.
The military machine knows it has a problem. Step one is already rolling. Several media outlets are now pushing discussion of a renewed draft. But, talk is cheap. How can the war machine get people to join up ?
An attack of some kind, real or fake, blamed on Russia ?
That may help, but will not be enough. Hey Guys … we can promise citizenship to all those fighting age males pouring across the border.
Non-stop MSM propaganda : ” Uncle Sam needs YOU ” . It is not by accident that SILENT WEAPONS FOR QUIET WARS covered this point in detail.
Dont be that guy.
” FACTOR II— FATHER
The man of the household must be housebroken to ensure that junior
will grow up with the right social training and attitudes. The advertising
media, etc., are engaged to see to it that father-to-be is pussy-whipped
before or by the time he is married.
By the time his son must go to war, father (with jelly for a backbone)
will slam a gun into junior’s hand before father will risk the censure of his
peers, or make a hypocrite of himself by crossing the investment he has in
his own personal opinion or self-esteem. Junior will go to war or father will
be embarrassed. So junior will go to war, the true purpose not withstanding”
To secure the draft, individual brainwashing/programming and both
the family unit and the peer group must be engaged and brought under
control.
I had a talk with each of my sons upon turning 18.
Do not volunteer for military service unless our country
is under direct attack. And I come from a long
line of relatives who served. I’ll not sacrifice my most
cherished for a criminal empire and it’s MIC adventures.
An old preacher I used to listen to spent 4 years with the Marines in the South Pacific. Forty some years ago I heard him say he’d do it all over again.. Right before he passed on he had changed his mind. Said, “nobody wants to die for a welfare state.”
Father-in-law was in the Navy. Invasion of Normandy and all.. Ditto.
Read Smedly Butlers “War is a Racket.”
Great uncle was a submarine commander in the Pacific who trained the Nautilus crew. (Fun fact: He holds the ‘Ripley’s Believe It Or Not ‘ record for the most crossings of the equator. His patrol in his sub zig zagged back and forth over the equator for weeks. ) His command was sunk by the Japs when he was on leave . His nephew survived Iwo and Tarawa as a marine message runner as a 19 year
old. I have the Garand casing of the first (FIRST!) Jap he killed. (He picked it up)
The sub captain’s son served on the Kennedy as an officer during Vietnam. He is a cherished crusty friend who had all girls and left me useful “things”
My doctor dad was an Air Force captain at The USAFA in CO. Srpgs. until
he went into private practice but the AF retired him as a colonel. My nephew is in the navy as a BUDS.
I love my country, but not the thieves who are stealing it.
And if one is working for the government, one is a traitor.
The parish priest in the church I went to when I was young was with Stillwell in Butma, after the war he went into the priesthood.
I considered joining the Corps like my uncles. My dad’s cousin, “Gunny”, who was in Korea and Vietnam sat down and told me some of the things that he went through, it was horrible, totally changed my mind.
My dad’s closest HS buddies went into the military.
He was deferred from Korea as he was in med school. One was a
M2 gunner and said he never actually aimed at anyone, but when
the patrol went out after an engagement, he knew what he did because no enemy bodies were whole. Charles “Bird Dog” Coleman. The other bud enlisted as a private and made it up to brigadier general and a command at Los Alamos in the Air Force. He was an amazing man, Walter B. Ratliff. Just passed away at 92.
Flew every plane we had including the B-52 over Nam. He started as a combat spotter in a single engine Cessna. His plane was regularly shot full of holes but he was never hurt. Both men I loved dearly, especially Walt. They were my dad’s best friends.
RIP.
A HS and college bud, Dan Coombs-shot down in his Cessna and came home in a box. What a waste.
Abolish the Estate.
Which? the Fourth? Please clarify.
All of them
I refuse to abandon my First Estate.
The US military is being designed to be the camp guards nothing more.
Hell No, We Won’t Go!
Heard Country Joe sing it live in July 1971 at “The Celebration Of Life” on the Atchayfalaya(Sp?) River in Morganza, LA.
who is more guilt, those who give the orders or those who execute the orders?
There will always be the scum who try to start shit, but no one must do as they say. On balance, it seems slightly worse to go along, because the few are the instigators, but the compliant masses make the machine roll.
Exodus 23:2
James 4:17
Refuse. Resist. Regroup. Reinvigorate. Rebuild.
yep – discernment of a situation can be difficult – patriotism, etc – I have fallen for it at times.
The best method of discernment of truth and lies – “If their lips are moving they are lying.”
That question is both the entry and the exit point from the klown-world daisy chain of fake and gay.
The order giver is the one not under coercion to commit evil.
The Nuremburg trials determined that it was both.
I am a Vet with 20+ years (now retired).. I no longer encourage any one to join the military. I just can’t.
I won’t and don’t…and I feel your pain.
Only my 4 year enlistment, but I tell young people you would be stupid to join today.
Same here , 4 years, Boiler Technician , Aircraft Carrier , Western Pacific , 7th fleet . Glad I did it but I wouldn’t advise any young person to join now . Its a totally different Country , military then it was back then. )-: Its actually quite ridiculous to think that anyone ought to join up to be the pratorian guard for this criminal organization that our federal govt has completely become now .
6th fleet, roof rat. One and done.
4 years is enough time to realize you made a mistake and file for divorce.
NAVY – Never Again Volunteer Yourself.
Been there under our noses the entire time.

THERE WILL BE THE MILITARY DRAFT AND THERE’S THE CIVILIAN LABOR DRAFT!
Unpaid ” consultants ” section 502
They can’t make you do anything but they can make you wish you did.
They’ll sure as fuck make you sorry you didn’t pick up that rifle long ago.
Good news? It’s never too late as long as you’re breathing.
I ask you…What the fuck is ANY sovereign Nation doing taking orders from a council of cock suckers?
The Council of Jewish Relations means only the best for Israel…
What sovereign nation ? Surely not this one because we are not a sovereign nation anymore .
Not my kids…
IF THEY RESORT TO A DRAFT ?
Do they draft only men?
Do they draft women?
Do they draft only people with dicks?
Do they draft people who used to have tit but don’t now?
Do they draft the fat and obese for cannon fodder or just the physically fit.
Trannies beware! In the Vietnam era the military did not accept homosexuals but if you sucked off everyone in the military physical they still took you.
It’s ALL out the window, ain’t it?
They should draft all the paper ballots that voted for Biden.
They should easily have a few million willing deadees in their numbers…the Emporer’s New Army
LOL!
The volunteer army is already mostly a jobs program for the fat and retarded and extreme diversities. Imagine how low they will have to drop the bar to even marshal a compulsory service. McNamaras Morons but this time on heavy doses of soy and puberty blockers and vax injuries.
But I suppose if the aim is just to put meat into the Russo-Chinese grinder…
The draft evasion marketplace will be booming. A bunch of “undocumented” would-be soldiers having to live in the shadows to avoid being rounded up as felons would also be an interesting development.
Forcing young men to avoid the draft would also force them to avoid a lot of the other trappings of the empire.
`they already said they will draft biological males, trans identifying or not. Trans people are lied to fools.
” If you choose to join this military, you’re putting your lives in the hands of people who, at the highest level, don’t care about you at best and hate you at worst and are grossly corrupt and grossly incompetent. ”
As bad as this truth is, ” The Green Weenie ” will do far , far worse to you.
EXAMPLE , one of many.
” From 1963 to 1969, as part of Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD), the U.S. Army performed tests which involved spraying several U.S. ships with various biological and chemical warfare agents, while thousands of U.S. military personnel were aboard the ships. The personnel were not notified of the tests, and were not given any protective clothing. Chemicals tested on the U.S. military personnel included the nerve gases VX and Sarin, toxic chemicals such as zinc cadmium sulfide and sulfur dioxide, and a variety of biological agents”
Testing done on non-military all the time.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation_in_the_United_States
We have the best psychos in the world…I’m surprised they didn’t spray these poisons in a nursery…
They fed babies radioactive isotopes – see wiki footnotes above
Evil
My dad was on one of the tested ships. He didn’t find out about for 30 years when he received a letter notifying him of the chemical warfare tests against his ship.
You will never see this on TV again.
RADIO BIKINI
The film documents the nuclear tests performed around Bikini Atoll during Operation Crossroads in 1946, and their effects on the indigenous population and American servicemen involved.
At 54 minutes you see what the intentional poisoning did to one sailor.
Play from cued point:
“Crossroadd, scene one, take one….and action!”
The clotshots weren’t even mentioned. Who wants to be pumped full of toxic substances for the “studies?”
Come On Man , Join the Army
The current condition of uSA suggests that everyone who ever died “for their country” may have wasted their life.
I think, that if you could resurrect any of them, they would take a look around and ask:
“Did I in fact, lay down my life to ensure the liars and perverts could have a big party over my dead body?”
Heck, they would have joined the enemy if they could see America now…
The last patriots who “died for their country” did it in
1775 and again in 1812. And the South in 1860. Everything
after that was a racket. WWI and II were completely avoidable for America.
And had we stayed out and had FDR not allowed the Japs to
destroy our pacific navy,
(save all those carriers which were miraculously not at Pearl, just
those completely obsolete battleships.) We’d
be infinitely better of with no pesky “foreign entanglements” George
warned us all about. But there’s no money for our betters staying free
of wars.
Transgenders join the military with no patriotism whatsoever.
They do it to get their surgeries and hormones paid for. I have military friends who have told me that trans “soldiers” are always out on medical leave, never fit for duty. The military allows this for Trannies but not for anyone else.
If having your balls and dick cut off for free, plus a lifetime supply of estrogen isn’t enough to get patriotic young men to join the military, then what can the Generals do? The answer, conscription , the draft!(sarc)
The funny thing is even if you already have your balls and dick cut off and “identify as a woman”the military says you are a man and will be drafted! The jokes on the trans! Idiots.
A military led by democrat party faggots and niggers is not worth risking your life !
A non-defensive one is not worth serving.
We lost Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan because we fought defensive wars. We won WW2 because we fought an offensive war. If not we would still be fighting the Third Reich and Japan
today. Fighting to unconditional surrender is winning the war. Everything else is disaster.
Are we not?
America is full of Nazi Karens and Japan is arming and biding their time.
There’s a price to be paid allying yourself with Commies and Nazis, and the bill has come due.
They are getting brainwashed. Step son was fine after boot and his 1st time home Last time home he told his mother he wasn’t speaking to either of us again. He’s too big of a coward to hell me to my face.
In what way is he being brainwashed?
People are talking about drafting to fill the shortfall. Women currently can’t be drafted.
So, any male drafted should just say that they identify as women. Problem solved, based on the current woke state of affairs.
If they implemented a draft, you would see the current batch of soyboys lose their collective minds. And the draft won’t fix the issue that something like 80% of the population aren’t fit enough to pass the physicals.
Just show myocarditis symptoms for anything more strenuous than lifting a cheek to fart. Blame the vaxx loudly. Ask everyone else if they are getting the symptoms of myocarditis like you are. Over and over.
Basically, psychologically disable the squad with mass psychosis and malingering.
they have already said they will draft anyone born male. The joke is on the trans identifying people.
Biden admin: Trans women must register for draft; trans men don’t have to -americanmilitarynews.com
Young American patriots are not joining the US Military today for exactly the same reason young American patriots did not join the Japanese Army in 1942.
Our future soldiers will be Spanish speakers and we have an endless supply swimming across the Rio Grande as I type this message
One can only hope the Comanche lineage will have some fighting spirit left in them. Perhaps proficiency with tomahawk, knife throwing and bow and arrow stealthy type weapons.
The US military has men wearing skirts, it’s no lon a serious organization.
Can’t a person just wrap themselves in a flag in front of a crowd and everyone gets a warm fuzzy patriotic inspiration?
We might want to start accepting the fact that we’re “Stuck With The Cuck ’24″…and plan accordingly.
*uck! I ain’t giving in but probably refresh the survival prepping thing.
This is better than the Boy Scout handbook:
HOW TO STAY ALIVE IN THE WOODS by Bradford Angier
Besides, that BS organization is very questionable any more as far as LGBTQ influence.
Also Storey’s BASIC COUNTRY SKILLS is loaded with info.
The American Empire is having difficulty meeting its enlistment quotas, this is an irrefutable fact. One of the plutocratic overlords’ options is to fast track illegal immigrants into citizenship by joining the military, training them and propagandizing them to believe ordinary US citizens are enemies and potential threats. Look at how successful portraying law abiding citizens as security threats has worked for the police and the Deep State!
The moral and intellectual rot metastasizing throughout this nation is reaching the point of no return and the whole society is being deliberately split (the old divide and conquer/rule tactic) along numerous lines: gender, age, race, class, ideology and politically all designed to totally undermine society to make sure the peons and useless eaters don’t get wind of the globalists’ Brave New World Order/Great Reset being implemented right under our noses. There are none as blind as those who refuse to see.
