Good. I hope to see a reduction in force across all branches.

The U.S. military is a paper tiger. Very sad. But hey they spend trillions.

Illegals do get treated better than American Citizens and certainly better than Veterans.

Headline is written by a moron, they are not cutting the force. They are just not getting recruits. They are slashing positions they cannot fill and they are not seeing people sing up because it is run by asshats.

Most of the jobs being slashed are related to counter-insurgency positions that grew during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but are not in high demand today.


Hmm, I could be wrong but it seems as though our POTATUS is getting sucked back into that very type of combat in the Middle East

I can see the climate commands and the tranny troops filling the gaps. They will drop bombs on incorrect pronouns on the enemy.

1. They've vilified and alienated the demographic that is most willing and effective in service. That being patriotic white men who like guns. Army is 80% men, 70% white. This of course was racist and not equitable. We needed more pink haired theys who are literally shaking right now.

2. Patriotic young white men who like guns are becoming more disinterested in dying for politicians wars. frick you Lindsey Graham, why don't you go get akbar'd in a shithole. You're unmarried with no children. He should be the first on the Frontline.

Can’t imagine anyone being brainwashed enough at this point to risk losing their life for such follies as Ukraine, Israel, Iraq, Somalia, or any other ridiculous place that American leadership wastes time and resources on. All so the elite class can make another dollar. No thanks.

Not veterans. Active soldiers. It's fricking insane. My job works with Army guys downrange and we would talk about that every now and then.

Exactly, they've alienated their traditional target rich recruiting base.. Many of which from multi-generational families of military service..who now say.. No more..never again.
Agree. At one point I would’ve been proud and supported my sons joining the USMC as I did, not now. I will do everything in my power to see they have every opportunity so the military is not even on their radar.
