Well, that's a nice development. Naturally, we have to hold this "general" accountable to it. But, if miley delivers and bans this disgusting practice on military bases it will be a step forward.

Its reassuring that certain states have passed legislation banning all this "trans" stuff. I think its a leading indicator and the sort of thing you want to see as people begin to come to terms with the utter nightmare we're living in. Remember, trans is a crime against humanity and we're living through our generation's holocaust event, which is the sexualization of kids.
Minor correction good sir: Crime against humanity, nature, and Blasphemy against God.

Concerns grow as US military faces recruitment crisis for second year in a row: 'Cultural rot' is spreading​

A survey found only 13% of young Americans are 'highly willing' to serve

A retired Navy SEAL is sounding the alarm about a declining number of young men and women willing to serve in the U.S. military.

Mike Sarraille, now an author and entrepreneur, said weak leadership and "cultural rot" is playing a role in declining recruitment and retention.

A November 2022 survey from the Ronald Reagan Institute found trust and confidence in the U.S. military stands at 48%, down from 70% in November 2018. The primary reason for the more than 20-point decline was the "perceived politicization of the military," according to a press release from the organization.

A second survey also found only 13% of 18-29-year-olds are "highly willing" to join the military. Twenty-five percent are "somewhat willing" and 26% are "not willing at all."

Sarraille argued one reason so few Americans are unable to serve is because of health reasons.

"I think it should send shockwaves through America that we've lowered our standards to such depths. We're in a culture where everyone gets a trophy. Obesity is the new beautiful," he explained on "Fox News Live."

"And if you fail or don't even try- don't worry- it's somebody else's fault. When you look at leadership, strong leadership, leadership that people respect and trust, they're willing to contribute and sacrifice for the collective good. Now, the juxtaposition to that is weak leadership, the crisis of confidence [where] people pull inward to protect themselves and their immediate families. And they're not willing to sacrifice for the cause they deem unworthy," he continued. "But I'm not going to put this on the younger generation. If we can actually get them into the military, we can actually get them to a physical standard that they need to be. This generation is the next best generation. We just have to hold them to the standards of old."

The military officer added that the U.S. needs to start training the younger generation to be the leaders the country needs for the future.

"I think a good sort of contrast here is there was a commercial by the Russians where they showed young men resolute, ready to do violence on behalf of their nation. And then the contrast to that is the U.S. Army that showed a video of a young soldier and her two mothers," he said. "We're sending some very dangerous narratives. We have to have pride in our nation."

To wit, peal away all the O6+ levels of bureaucracy and jobs program aspect of half the force and the wokeness and the social theory education and all the other rot, what are you actually fighting for? Raytheon? Blackrock? Ukrainian oligarchs? Saudi royalty? Israel?

If there were a strong state guard/militia alternative focused on protecting state borders and assisting local law enforcement in times of natural disasters, riot control, etc where you actually help your fellow neighbors, I'm sure many would rather serve in that organization.

In fact, I would say - aside from the Marines, whom I hold an irrational affinity for due to my father's service in Viet Nam - the USCG is the most 'pure' branch of the military - they protect our maritime borders, augment port security, intercept illegals and narco runners, and save countless lives at sea.

"...Training as a fire control specialist!"


After multiple attempts to pass ASVAB thanks to the military's DEI agenda, he's now training to be a "fire control specialist"?

I can't remember Army MOS designations.

@Easy_C is this kid now an "artillery person"

If so..
I pitty the battery commander or supported ground force commanders with this sort of support as the acceptable standard.
Multiple tries for the Asvab? There are smarter Afghanis than that.

HOW IN THE EVERLOVING......

I've got to not cuss here but...

How on earth is someone who can't do basic math working in the Fire Direction Center? That's a hard enough job in that aspec that even in the officer course our college graduates who were less mathematically quick had a hard time reaching proficiency in the skills.

I'm sure this guy could load and fire a gun just fine, but Fire Direction is a very different beast.

Yeah that fire direction officer is totally screwed.

I remember how hard manual gunnery was.

I also know what the Marines teach their FDC nerds at the school.... What a joke. The most math intensive career field and you put a guy wh.o needs 3 takes at the Asvab. Peak clown world

This is the sort of thing that literally gets people killed.

He had about a third of the passing score.

Climate change may imperil the U.S. military's ability to train troops, maintain equipment and facilities and operate effectively both at home and abroad, according to a new report on global warming's effect on national security.

A Rand Corp study? Hmm...
