We need to elect President Trump if only to unscrew our screwed-up military – and he can. The situation is getting worse. The other day, Twitter came alive when a video dropped of a male Space Force colonel pretending to be a female lecturing at the Air Force Academy, and you look at this and realize that our military has become ridiculous under the current crop of generals and admirals. Not content with not having a single unequivocal major military victory in the last 30 years, they have presided over the descent of America’s once most respected institution into a laughingstock. No matter how hard they order troops to believe in the power of trans transformation, the troops will not believe. In the words of Austin Powers, a ridiculous fictional character who has won as many wars in the last 30 years as our generals and admirals have, it’s a man, baby. And our troops know it.

Woke Ads Weren’t Filling The Ranks

Readers may recall some of the U.S. Army’s woke ads in recent years, focusing on diversity, such as this one about a lady soldier who was raised by two lesbians.

Apparently, those ads weren’t filling the ranks, so the U.S. Army came out with a new ad featuring a white man. You can see it embedded in the Army’s X post below.

Replies Have Been Brutal

Below is a sample of some of the replies the Army got.

Peachy Keenan pointed out the cynicism of the ad.

The full text of her tweet:

The US Army’s new recruitment ad is so cynical. After 15 years of relentless progessive brainwashing and doing a literal “stand down” to root out “extremists” ( ie white conservatives), they are now facing an existential recruiting crisis and must return again to seducing the children of said “extremists” into fighting for their country.

A country that no longer exists.

The US Army, Navy and Air Force are facing shortfalls in recruitment targets this year, as the Pentagon struggles to compete with civilian employment, while up to 77% of young people have been deemed ineligible to enlist, the New York Times said on Tuesday.

Be all you can be. Can you imagine this androgynous mentally ill ninety pound weakling leading men into battle? If faced with a real Russian or Chinese soldier, it would pee its panties. What could possibly be the goal of letting this into the military? Is the top brass of the military purposely weakening our fighting force in order to lose? Has a silent coup already taken place? It’s a mystery that historians will debate when they right the chapter on the fall of the American empire.

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?

Despite the drone of hostile propaganda against Russia, China, and Iran, The US armed forces cannot recruit.  All sorts of false reasons are offered.  For example, the American job market is too good, only 25% of Americans are fit enough to pass enlistment standards, which keep falling, and so on.

The real reason for recruitment failure is the recruitment message to the white heterosexual males, essentially from the “racist” South who have always been the backbone of the military services:

Diversity is our strength. Except, apparently, the more diversity the military seeks, the less strength it requires.

That seems to be the lesson of the Army’s physical fitness standards, which do not apply to people who are getting “gender-affirming” care.

The Army obesity crisis is worse among the “diversity” hires — women, blacks, Hispanics, and transvestites.

One of the shibboleths of the Left is the claim that increasing the acceptance of “gender-diverse” individuals into the military merely extends the same opportunities to transgender folks as those afforded to people who identify with their natal sex (man, finding the right words is impossible when discussing these issues!).

The US military has been struggling with recruitment efforts in recent years. Only 13% of 18 to 29-year-olds are “highly willing” to enlist. Prioritizing the woke agenda has alienated the once core conservative, traditional members. The current Commander in Chief is not patriotic and does not inspire young men to join the military. We abandoned operations in Afghanistan, forced service members to undergo vaccinations, and continued to heighten tensions with foreign nations to a level where another world war is inevitable. Every branch has failed to meet their recruitment numbers despite the military lowering the standards to join. The latest desperate attempt to recruit members is the opposite of the image of a tough soldier.

For a couple of years now, the U.S. military has had a serious recruitment problem.

That isn’t really a surprise.

Our leaders have injected the entire menu of radical “woke” ideology into the tissues of the military establishment.

Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, worries about “white rage” and supports teaching critical race theory to the troops.

When Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin took office under President Joe Biden, he issued a 60-day “stand down” order to the entire military in pursuit of battling “extremism” and achieving “equity” in the military (pdf).

US Army sets dates for Confederate cleanup

After Robert E. Lee’s surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, an army for which food, boots, medical supplies, and replacements for casualties could no longer be supplied by the small population of the agricultural South, the Reconstruction Era set in. Reconstruction lasted 12 years.  In history books written by northern propagandists, Reconstruction was a period when “attempts were made to redress the inequities of slavery and its political, social, and economic legacy and to solve the problems for the readmission of the states that seceded.”

Right now, many of us vets are looking back on our years of service and wondering what the hell we did it all for. We used to know – for the USA. Yet you look at the disaster that is our country, our culture, and our beloved military, and you just want to go find a wall and pound your head against it. But a lot fewer folks are going to have this problem in the future because a lot fewer young people are joining our military. The Pentagon can’t meet its recruiting goals, and, of course, the fault is our young people, our potential soldiers, for being unwilling to sacrifice their time, and sometimes their lives, in support of the bizarre social pathologies that our garbage ruling class embraces.

The military lost our trust, and it seems uninterested in earning it back. Time for the normals to go on strike until the military becomes a military again instead of a camouflaged faculty lounge.
