Loyd Austin, Sec of Defense, diversity hire has permanently damaged the whole military. He is a racist POS. His comments against white service members shows how far this country has fallen. Recruitment is down 40% and they blame it on unfit for duty but the teuth is he and Sippy Cup Joe have destroyed Patriotism in two short years. Honestly it was done in 6 months.
Seems to me being white is part of their recruiting platform. Joe said last year they were going diversify the military."Unfit for duty" is definitely part of the problem with effective recruitment (as we've discussed ad nauseum). But spot on about his 'leadership' and failed policies.
Maybe they aren't worried about the quality of their recruits, because they know the US military's next opponent won't be a foreign power.
So, if the decline in retention and recruitment continues, how long till the US military goes conscript?
we want to take on the chicoms while we're in full woke tear down the military mode?
granted, we didnt go all in during korea. also granted the chicoms were little more than a peasant army at that time. they still fought us to a standstill.
fast forward and they have stolen much of our technology, rejected wokeism, and have watched us write checks that our mouth cant cash (multiple times, why would it be any different in taiwan?)
China's tech doesn't scare me much. Most of it--what they have--is reverse engineered, and to a point. Our Navy and Marine Corps is more robust. It doesn't mean they couldn't win, though.
