The US Military’s Greatest Enemy Isn’t Russia Or China

 October 9, 2022
 
Sure, the U.S. military has a lot of possible challengers these days: think Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and many other rogue states. But the biggest ‘foe’ the Pentagon might have now is a lack of manpower to ensure the nation is protected.
 
The results are in, and the military’s recruiting crisis shows no signs of letting up. A new fiscal year started this past weekend, and the US Army fell 25% short of its target goal for new soldiers.

Equally damaging as involuntarily shrinking, all the services are starting the newest recruiting year in a tougher position than the last. While retention is a partial buffer, it is simply duct tape on a bigger problem.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

What warrior at heart wants to sign up for "Wokeism" and transgendering, when the focus should be on deterring and defeating enemies abroad rather than pronoun usage?

With this crew running things, and after the completely botched Afghanistan withdrawal, no matter how patriotic someone may be, to enter into an enlistment with seriously FUBAR command elements is not appealing.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

For the longest time now the US military's greatest enemy has been within America's halls of congress and at times the White house, they are known as democrats.
