Trump effect 2.0

[texassapper]

in the Spring of 2024 that the United States Army and Air Force issued calls for retirees to return to active duty because they couldn't meet their recruiting goals. I mean who wants to serve in the name of evil am I tight?

Fast forward to today...

Entire FY2026 USMC recruiting goals met in two weeks.

The military is basically the only employer who is always hiring in this weak American economy and with the weak leaders that America has they better beef up the military with as many wars these assholes in charge want to start. Trump effect 2.0 looks worse than his first term as the train already derailed during Biden/Harris only for the next puppet in line to claim the throne. Pray for America because we have weak leaders.

Who is it that Trump is trying to start a war with?

To answer your question would be derailing the thread, nice try.

More text than required to say nobody.

You people think guys enlist for the money? That’s pretty funny.

Frankly speaking, I find it remarkable, given than >50% of the current generation cannot even meet the minimum standards.

Unfortunately it’s true. Certainly not everyone but quite a few. Maybe a better way to put it is people enlist for the opportunity.

It also might have something to do with the Army’s Future Soldier Preparatory Course started under the Biden administration. According to the article below

https://archive.ph/NEWKE
“About 22 percent of the Army’s more than 61,000 new recruits this year came in through the Future Soldier Preparatory Course, a senior Army official said.”

I recommend reading the full article. It’s quite good.

I heard awhile back that the Marines were the first branch to cut the requirement of the Covid jab to join, that's why their recruitment quota was met in addition with a weak economy and high inflation/weak dollar.

Googly doesn't agree.

The new part of that is the ASVAB tutoring. FTU (fitness training Units - fcuking totally useless or fat, tubbie, and undesirable) existed back when I enlisted... those guys would PT all day long.... that had to suck.

All this is, is an indictment of our education system. turning out fat, dumb, cattle every year. They are ready for Faber College.

Google is a left wing company that tweaks their algorithms to hide information. They should not be trusted and the Marines were the first branch to cut Covid vaccines to enlist.

As I said, what else is new.
