That's to bad.
Even if there are fit people how many people currently are willing to sign up for something like that we are bond to be lied to go to war with another nation or group?

US Army falls 25% short of recruiting goal



The Army fell about 15,000 soldiers — or 25% — short of its recruitment goal this year, officials confirmed Friday, despite a frantic effort to make up the widely expected gap in a year when all the military services struggled in a tight jobs market to find young people willing and fit to enlist.

I wonder if this is specific to the US or if it's a trend globally.

It would be nice if everyone just never bothered to join the worlds armies as there would be no troops for the wars our leaders seem so keen on creating.

Well only in Western Countries/US specifically are pushing woke agenda polices or gender issues i am sure that has nothing to do with why their recruiting goals are low currently.

Yeah, and Russian men are clamouring to be signed up to fight?

For your nonsense war?

Anyone that signs up to serve under these idiots will get what they deserve… and none of it is even remotely good…

Its a whole lot of reasons, not the least of which is how the military is treated on a daily basis. We put illegals up in hotels and give them free everything but our troops get called to DC to defend lazy politician butts who then force them to sleep on the ground in a parking garage and get paid next to nothing for doing it.

The VA has been a disaster in virtually every respect. Thousands upon thousands of former military are either homeless or close to it, do not get the help they were promised or deserve, and are typically hated by a growing segment of our society for toxic masculinity and being part of the conservative war machine.

Then add to that the idea that they know the odds are far greater that they will end up on foreign soil fighting someone else's battle than they will be on US soil fighting for their own people. They are not joining the US military any more. They are joining the world's police force. I already did my time in the military, but I wouldn't enlist now. Not a chance in hell.

It'll change when it needs to change, because they control both sides, EVIDENTLY

Its falling because of the PsyOps and the left/right debate, intentionally engineered by DARPA narrative networks and the CIA/MSM, and kept under control by the FBI for national security threats on both side, it has to look real in order to convince Russia and china now is the time to attack, look at the state of this forum for instance? lopoks like its working to me? and i can say this out-loud and simps will still get offended with WOK-ISM AND LGBT and completely not understand WTF is going on or ... WHY?

Once Russia is done, THE FIRST weaker peer of our strategic competitor who want nothing but to destroy the rules based international order...

Then the Republican's will win which is arguable 70% of the entire Western world being suppressed, the much bigger right hook if you like destined for CCP chin

The left give Public opinion for WAR/taking out Russia, and the right wing majority will give blessings for a much more critical War on the CCP, because they're a duel peer threat and both have their propaganda narratives to attack and dive the western populous

And that my friend is called political science

Save this post so you understand whats going wrong for you in the new year

The problem goes much deeper than recruiting.
Lots of soldiers with combat experience are being passed over for promotion and command positions for diversity

The mobile phones is the military's worst enemy these days. As Vietnam era Veteran it saddens me when POTUS can call us soldiers " dumb jackasses" . NO, I would not enlist in today's environment .

Well soon enough as long as you can operate a video game they can put you into the military. Atleast until a massive solar event.

Not to mention most of the quality soldiers and operators get paid way better as security contractors.

There will be no draft until China invades Taiwan, and then...



The CCP has two years

Can you imagine a draft..
Who would they draft? How many people would be

Healthy enough
Psychologically sane enough

You want to see riots, try getting these people to show up for their draft appointments..

PS> my dad was drafted during Vietnam!
The stories he told….

Lol,
Don’t get too excited OP.

If it’s not obvious to you at this point, it’s quality not quantity.

It’s about support, and a cloud of technology that allows for a smarter, not harder method of fighting.

It’s being demonstrated. Right now.

Large difference between volunteering and being conscripted.

Ugh utter amateurs... you guys don't know how this works, but let me tell you a little secret that will send shiver up your spine,

Because narratives and group think operations filters through the global internet and reverberate like a bell through your diverse but oppressed patriarchal social fabric, like a Trojan Horse ready to explode & exploit, go ahead and beat them of the streets like? nobody is stopping you? especially not Iran, i don't think the killing women in Iran to protect the ignorant outdated oppressive regime is going all that well tbh

But there are other Trojans and human mind viruses being released in this great power competition





And the Trump Card, You thus create many potential targets for foreign agent recruitment's in the right places within high places and academia, pinpoint accuracy of the target audience, LOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS COMRADE

Tick-Tock, No Time for Caution
