I'm thrilled, but we can get those numbers lower.

Edit should have put this in the dunk tank.

They’ve essentially been taught that rules and law and order don’t matter and that the underlining American structure is to blame for any and all wrongdoing.

michael-laugh LMAO at US Military and "rules based order"

nicholson-yes underlining American structure is to blame for any and all wrongdoing. amerikkka

What's wild is that even the promises of "after 4 years the government will take care of you for life" are so obviously untrue because you can go to any city in this country and find a street lined with homeless veterans with severe mental health problems.

The advertised value proposition is so false on its face for anyone who has left the house in the last thirty years.

... 4 years the government will take care of you for life

Its weird, I don't think that even is a thing in the military. But I HAVE heard civilians talk about the military like it does that and it blew their minds when I told them that it doesn't.

Americans truly are the most propagandized people on earth

He adds that in just 20 years the amount of high school and college-aged students who “never thought’ about joining the military has risen from 25 percent to nearly 50 percent.

I'd rather serve crack than serve this country

The amount of younger people who have older family members in the military has also decreased, which has not only hurt recruitment but knowledge of what the military has to offer.

What the military "has to offer" is about four years of living in a centrally planned society where all of your basic needs are taken care of and you can form a strong social bond with your fellow soldiers, which is honestly pretty nice but it's not worth killing foreign kids over and it's cool that more people are realizing that.

In response to the low active force numbers, the Department of Defense is now suggesting there be a “national call to service,” by leaders and politicians.

This can only result in even lower recruitment numbers.

Unfortunately, our Constitutional Republic is being attacked from within.

Uncritical support for the American Fifth Column. I know if we go to war with China what I'm going to be doing.

This alone made me want to get in as an adult, but then I remembered the whole empire thing.

I genuinely think so many of this country's "problems" with the youth is due to the massive increase in atheism

Gay sex, t*******, furries, vaping, and lack of suicidal patriotism

Boy for a bunch of supposed freedom lovers, they sure love their law and order

Their war is in the streets and highways of their nation where they can cut your tiny car off and brake check you just so they know you saw their tattered black and blue flags (I assume this is a representation of their testicles) next to the unironic punisher logo on their giant rolling bank loan.

Do not, under any circumstances, fuck the troops

[–] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

One thing they fail to address (bc Chud site obvioisly) is that many Chuds who would normally be Gung ho in the military aren't renewing because they hate Biden. They literally think he's "destroying military". One of my old coworkers was a former recruiter and he would go on rants to me about how biden is a communist and he made his brother (whom he got into the military) get out because of it. These people have no critical thinking skills. It's all reactionary.

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

That’s pretty much the vibe I get from watching guntube content. It’s making a lot of people post small unit tactics and battle drills online so that’s either concerning or cool depending if you’re into that or not.

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

American chuds are the masters of purposefully destroying any institution where things don't go their way 200% of the time.

Memo to Washington: Turns out you can only fuck over young people to the point of literally sending their future up in flames before they stop signing up to enrich the already-obscene horde your visibly decaying ass is perched atop even further.

Hey CHUDs, "no one owes you anything" remember?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Pick yourselves up by the bootstraps and enlist.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Yes actually.

We've tried berating them and ruining their future, why don't they love this country?!

18 year old kids know it isn't a good deal. If their parents have insurance and are able to keep it, they'll be covered until they're 26, and having student loan debt probably isn't as scary to them if they've seen multiple people (older siblings and friends) in their lives talk about it and be (relatively) okay. At the same time as that, there's also been enough of a reaction against going to college/taking on big debts that the idea of learning a trade is having a comeback as well. Given that 4 years is a hell of a long time at 18 and the prospect of an extremely structured environment sounds pretty bad to lots of people, it's a no-brainer that kids aren't even considering it.

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Yes. HAHAHA. Yes.

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I really dont think more kids are not joining because they are more woke i think its because theyre unable to pass the asvab and more fat. I think they got stricter with medical stuff too
