Give money being wasted on overseas wars and squandered on illegals to service members and veterans to help them pay their bills!😊
Impeach the Traitor in Office.No one wants to serve under a coward.
The entire u.s government are warmongers that place profit before the people. Hence child labour camps within the u.s and 600,000 homeless Americans. The economy of the u.s is based on war. It is therefore a country so geared towards war the u.s. do not know how to live in peace.
You mean the draft dodger who called us suckers and loosers, and could not honor war vets who paid the ultimate sacrifice, because he didnt want his hair to get wet, you know, the one that enguaged in insurection against the United States and claims he is not required to protect the constitution.You mean that Traitor, right.
Tbh the total number of soldiers has been declining since the 40s.
If you need people to join the military? Have America raise men again instead of cowards
Or stop perpetuating unjust wars that are initiated by profiteers and the rape of resources from around the world. Leading to mass immigration and terrorism.
Have you try to enlisted in the military it's hard you have to take a entrance exam tasting that asvab if you passed that then go to M.E.P.S that your 2nd stage of see if you passed that medical exam mostly more failed that too and if you passed all two stage you go basic training and 18 year old mostly not going passed 10 hard weeks of training mostly of them drop out after that you become a soldier then you in the military not walk in park like you think
@@azondaxx I served in the Army
@@davidgoodnight5884 116,000 u.s military veterans committed suicide over last twenty one years. Is not advisable.
Joining the military is basically signing up to be sacrificed by corrupt politicians.
Get rid of every single guideline regarding speech or social conduct enacted after 2008.
Remove quotas, remove ESG SDG DIE or whatever else collectivist nonsense is the new thing, return to merit, show ROI for service.
Quit disparaging the very people your trying to recruit.
Fix after service care.
If they want soldiers good way to fixed this stop forcing at highschool kids to enlisted if they choose to enlisted that on there terms not luring like a con man tricking them to enlisted like greedy salesman at your door
Im 58 years old, retired Air Force and feel the last generation of parents failed the eligible recruits by lowering standards and by accepting mediocrity. It poisoned this generation. Why would they give up their "entitled" status to conformity even with the lowering of standards and maximum age changes to increase recruitment? I grew up in a time when we learned to tie shoes before kindergarten rather than resorting to velcro. We knew how to read a tape measure and tell time on an analog clock. We signed paychecks in cursive. We knew what spackling was by 8. We had pick up games and didn't rely on parents to drive us to practice...we ran there. Not everyone received a trophy and we kept score! We knew how to give change back when someone gave us a few cents over. We played outside and drank from hoses. We actually had to have the courage to talk to girls rather than make up a fake social media account and hide behind words. We earned enough money to buy a beater car and were proud to have it. We weren't handed a new car at graduation. We knew what patriotism was at an early age and many of us served for that reason alone to preserve and protect the right for this generation to have the creature comforts they enjoy. And we adapted quickly to technology and still outwork this generation! Tough love and a competitive spirit fosters teamwork and good morale. We need to stop the weak ass excuses and be real parents and mentors! We have only ourselves to blame for this predictable outcome!
I would largely agree with that comment, however. Your generation have been lied to, manipulated into wars. Not for national security but for economic reasons. Vietnam for example cost 58,000 lives of military personnel. And for what? So too for Iraq 4,700 dead.
Fix the barracks, increase the pay raise above nearly borderline minimum wage and stop making garrison life so shit.
We have to be very careful about focusing on quantity over quality. We're gotten a few new guys to my unit that are extremely unfit both mentally and physically. Obviously we're working on trying to mold them into model service members, but sometimes their habits and norms can't be broken by the constraints we have within our units in regards to things like "hazing" or traditional stern disciplinary actions.
Our primary strength has always been in technological advancements keeping us ahead in the fight and the quality service members to use them appropriately.
However, to speak to what the Army said, I do feel our recruitment methods are very outdated. Not to mention in today's climate of Anti-West sympathizers, it's hard to convince the kids that what we do is for the good. Our own media is propagating the US as criminals and warmongers. We're having to fight the brainwashing media has put on the younger generations.
116,000 u.s military veterans committed suicide over last twenty years. The u.s has committed war crimes over continents for decades unaccounted for now emboldening themselves and their allies above the law and any sense of morality.

I know my dad did that back in 2009 he was a Vietnam veteran
You can thank the toxic culture within the military. Some of the worst human beings I've met, were in the military.
@@azondaxx With utmost sincerity i deeply regret your loss. His intentions were honourable but his government have fed the people lies for generations. I highlight this fact not to shock but to reinforce the fact that this has to stop.
@@555125kevin I agree some are wired to kill. Most are not, most are fed the lie that war is the only way. The Vietnam war for example. 58,000 lost. 250,000 injured, and many more subjected to PTSD, those who isolate themselves from the world to live off the land. Both sides in war are victims. This is now beginning to be seen in the Middle East.
@@555125kevin Thankyou RUclips for censoring a well thought out and balanced comment.
