Glenn Reynolds article makes great points as well but I really think a lot of people are missing the context...

Quote:
Biden and congressional Democrats will likely face the ugly choice of letting the military flounder due to lack of troops or returning to the draft. Neither approach looks like a winner. Incompetence and contempt for the troops have a price, and the bill is coming due.
...he recognizes that congressional democrats (and leftists in general) display a visible contempt for the troops. The problem is with the context. Contempt for the troops does not have a "bill" when you are living on the left and espouse an ideology of contempt for the military. It isn't a "price" that you are paying. That contempt is an INVESTMENT. It is an investment backed by a currency of contempt for the very nation that the military is sworn to protect. What decent Americans might see as "the price of going woke" - the liberals in this nation see as a great return on their investment.

Everything that the left does to the military is done with intent. It's NOT incompetence - it is intent. A military devoid of patriots is the return on that investment. Those same fucking hippies that where chanting “Suppose they gave a war and no one came.” back in the 1960's are the people executing these ridiculous policies. These 70-75-80 year old politicians were teenagers in the 60s. They played the long game and now they are in charge.

Sure - we may be 28,000 troops short of our recruiting goals - but you know what ISN'T being cut?
General Officer slots aren't being cut.
We need our militicians WAY more than we need war-fighters - because we aren't interested in actually winning any wars.

We dont really care care what goes on with Taiwan - our corrupt leaders have made all their investments with the folks on the mainland. We dont really care care what goes on Ukraine either - worst case, they get steamrolled by Vlad and his bullies and the people that would testify about our leaders long history of corruption and profiteering through cutouts in Ukraine are all either killed or imprisoned. Any "documents" that surface as evidence of US corruption wont matter because it will all just be attributed to "Russian disinformation"

By the way, did everyone just seem to forget that a Biden flunky actually testified in congress to a question asked by Marco Rubio about the shifty research going on over there?
...of course you dont remember - its already been memory holed.

Just like the Panama papers
Just like Epstein's sketchy suicide
Just like the mysterious lack of convictions coming from Ghislanes little black book
...memory holed. These aren't the mother fucking droids you're looking for asshole - now move along before these peas get shoved up your ass.

Americas "woke army" is not experiencing a recruiting nightmare - Americas "woke Army" is living the dream.
-the service academies have "adjusted" their curriculum
-trans folks can come in to get their transition paid for by taxpayer dollars
-infantry persons can take time off to have babies
-headquarters buildings are even making lactation areas more accessible
-we've finally accepted our inherent racism and sexism and are taking steps to root that shit out


It's only a nightmare if you are a conservative.
