This Veteran Can Finally Recommend Enlisting in the Military Again
Kurt Schlichter
After much consideration, I’ve changed my mind – I’m going to start recommending that young people join our military again. I served for about 27 years, active and reserve, deployed a couple of times, and did some great things with some remarkable people. The United States Army changed who I was and made me who I am today – wait a minute, I’m not sure that’s quite a selling point, but bear with me. And thanks to President Trump, Pete Hegseth, and scores of others attempting to reform and repair our ruined military, I can once again wholeheartedly recommend enlistment.
Thank goodness.
This was never to say that our young people and our young troops were somehow not up to the task or incapable. Nor did I withhold support from those who chose to enlist anyway. I stopped recommending the military because the institution had turned into a failed, woke organization that could not perform even its most routine functions at a basic level of competence.
