Biden Is Destroying the U.S. Military
President Joe Biden is destroying the U.S. military in several ways. The first one you probably heard about: calling up 3,000 reservists. That might not seem like a lot, but it will have repercussions throughout all the military services.
If you’ve never served in the military, here’s how it works in most cases for the regular forces. You sign up usually for three or four years of Active Duty. But if you get out after that, you still serve in the Reserves. The total used to be for six years. But after 9/11, Bush panicked and, in addition to destroying our liberties, extended the total to eight years, Active + Reserve.
Your recruiter might say something like, “Don’t worry about the Reserve part. That’s only if we get in a major war.” Usually that’s the case. You muster out, go home, and resume your life. Maybe a recruiter will give you a call about re-upping.
Well, we are in a major war now. Not the Ukraine War, or war with Russia. But the war to keep Joe Biden in the White House by not getting embarrassed in Ukraine. Or in Syria, which is heating up and involves a combustible cauldron involving not only that country, but Nato ally Turkey, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Israel and the stateless Kurds, who are everywhere.
I think a lot of these reservists are in intelligence. Maybe Russian linguists, like I was, 1978-82. They have the skills to learn another language, so they can get good-paying jobs when they get out. Unless they go into journalism, ha ha.
Even when I was in, a lot of linguists were women, who served right with the men in field units, such as my 533rd Combat Electronic Warfare Intelligence Battalion.
Maybe after leaving such a woman veteran married, had a couple of kids and is settling down into the American Dream, what’s left of it. Then she gets a letter from Uncle Joe calling her back. To delay it, maybe she gets pregnant. But eventually, she’s going back in. Then maybe she’ll be sent to the NSA HQ in Maryland to listen to Russian communications. As Snowden revealed 10 years ago, the NSA listens to everything. Or maybe she’ll be sent to Poland or Romania to interrogate Russian POWs.
Meanwhile, hubby back home is juggling three kids on one income instead of 1.5. Feminists no doubt are cheering. But this also shows why divorce is more common in the military.
Military folks talk to one another, and of course are on social media. I guarantee you they’re going to be more likely now to get out when they can. Typically, Biden solved a short-term problem by creating a long-term problem.
Here are two comments after a Fox News story on YouTube: “As a reservist, we have been deploying for 20+ years now. I went last year when this whole thing started. Just another day at the office. Until the nuke start flying, that is....” And: “As a marine I wouldn't follow biden into a Crayola factory let alone ukraine...let's go brandon!!!”
Crashing Recruitment
This problem is caused because recruitment and retention are way down. The Wall St. Journal reported in July the Army this year is short 15,000 recruits of its 65,000 goal. The Navy is short 10,000 of 38,000. The Air Force 3,000 of 27,000. Only the Marines are on track to recruit “a few good men,” as they once called it before they went “woke.”
The story also reported 77% of kids these days are unfit to be G.I.’s – “government inspected.” They’re unfit, unhealthy, on drugs, psychologically messed up, too dumb or have criminal records. I feel sorry for them. After all, they grew up in a society Uncle Joe and the rest of the Ruling Elite imposed on them before they were born.
Worse, here’s a July 14 story from Military.com: “Military Families Less Likely to Recommend Joining Up, Survey Finds.” Again, if you’ve been in the military, you’ll know more than half of new recruits are from military families – Dad or Mom were or are lifters, sometimes both. That’s because military life is very different from civilian life. Some people just can’t get used to the regimentation; or being locked into a military base.
But military brats grew up with all that and understand how the system works. Their parents, at least until now, liked the military and encouraged their kids to join.
Military Woketopia
Then there’s all the “wokeness.” If you’ve been in the military, one thing you also know is most troops are more conservative than the rest of society politically, as well as more religious. That hurts recruiting on two levels. Unlike when I joined during the Cold War and was a hard-core militarist, most conservatives today are anti-war, also like me. The Soviet Union is gone. Communism, instead of being a threat to take over the globe, is a joke of a murderous failed social experiment. Conservative families want to defend America and keep us free, but not fight in some obscure place few Americans can find on a map.
And let me repeat the intrepid military service of those leading us into these wars:
· Uncle Joe: 0 days – five deferments to avoid the Vietnam draft;
· VP Kamala: 0 days;
· SecState Blinken: 0 days;
· National Security Adviser Sullivan: 0 days;
· 2014/2022 Ukraine War Agitator Victoria Nuland: 0 days.
And get this NY Times headline: “Hard Right Presses Culture War Fights on Defense Bill, Imperiling Passage: Right-wing Republicans want to use the annual military budget and policy legislation, traditionally a bipartisan affair, as a tool to pick fights on abortion and other social issues.”
Uncle Joe and the rest of the Left in power turn the military into a ludicrous “woke” experiment, and “Right-wing Republicans” get the blame! No wonder so few want to join this farce.
And get this tweet from House Military Leader Hakeem Jeffries:
House Republicans turned the historically bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act into a hate-filled vessel for right-wing MAGA extremism. The hyper-partisan GOP bill undermines our military readiness and hurts America’s national security. They have no shame.
Jeffries’ military service: 0 days.
He doesn’t care about the troops, the Ukraine War, the Syria War, military readiness or national security. He only cares about his own power and his wokeness obsession. He’ll say anything and support any war, however absurd, to advance those two things. The same with the other supposed “Progressives,” Sen. Bernie Sanders and AOC and her Squad – none of whom has served in a military squad, yet all of whom are supporting the Ukraine War.
Do You Feel a Draft?
No, I don’t feel a draft. Conscription to make up for the recruiting shortfall isn’t going to happen. Kids these days won’t go for it. And their arthritic hippy grandparents will join them in the protests, shouting, “Hell, no! We won’t go!” As I said, I was pro-war back during the Vietnam War days, but this time would join the protests.
Uncle Joe and the others just are abusing the military. That would become evident quickly if it is pushed into a shooting war. They’re adding to the commitments even as they’re destroying the military itself. Enlistments and retentions are going to keep falling. A crisis will be revealed by sudden defeat with many deaths.
