Total Loser? Join the Army!

Not sure where to begin:

When Ash Carter was appointed I was pretty sure that was our president flipping the military the bird. Now he is going to bend it over and give it a CDQC physical.

So SECDEF Tush Carter couldn't negotiate a spokes-trans contract with Bruce "call me Kate" Jenner. Got it. Plan B, recruit the stoners. Seems like a win to me.

Apropos of nothing, is anyone (I mean YOU DoD) publishing stats on the percentage of new LGBTLMNOP recruits since the lifting of the ban on everything buggery related except sex between two (at least one of whom is married) heterosexual people of the opposite sex? I mean, we can't have extramarital affairs since that is detrimental to good order and discipline. That would be the death knell of a world class military worthy of the planet's lone super power.

The social experiment our beloved military has become!

As a civilian instructor at a TRADOC post in '08 - '09 I seen Drill Sergeants with tattoos running down the side of their neck and heads! I couldn't believe it....that was coupled with watching most units WALK around a PT track and not run anywhere!

Had I not kept up with the SOF personnel I would have thought our beloved military was completely lost. We are in desperate need of a change for the better!

I know a young man who joined. Completed MOS 25L AIT and sent to Ft Bliss.
His mom tells me it took 30 days to inprocess and he had to buy his own sheets, blankets, pillow cases. Chow is worse there than AIT.

Recruiters can't meet numbers since the females in combat arms, LGBT repeal of DADT and the trans announcement.

This crap happens every time a dem gets in the WH, Obozo is the master when it comes to F****ing up the Armed Services. If they are gonna recruit these losers into the military then for God's sake place them into a segregated unit where they can all feel safe and secure in each others company. How do we ever turn this around?

Thanks for putting a positive spin to this issue, one should always look for the silver lining in any situation.

They should prohibit all skinny people, any tattoos, any drinkers, and any tabbaco users, from serving in the military.

If all the other standards are being relaxed, why have age standards?

Performance is performance.

maybe I'm optimistic or deluded...

but the Anonymous, th3j35t3r types hardly come in barrel chested steely eyed mode. That's why Blackhat was just a movie, they don't look like Thor.

just take a look of the defcon documentary (good thing they dig firearms!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ctQOmjQyYg

so I wouldn't see them as total loser. Information warfare, lawfare, financial warfare, and false flags proxies are the way to go. They need good handlers though.
