#8 Looking at pictures of my class mates from Vietnam and my parents etc. from WW II I can’t find one single fatty. If only Cpl. Kilinger had known his ticket out of Korea was to eat like a pig. |

#7 Someone got their numbers screwed up. That is the size of the active Army whose number is set by law. Layers of fact checkers and editors, but ask them and they are God's Word in Covid and financial analysis. |

#6 Maybe these "generals" could help the country produce more Army grade recruits if they stopped shilling for the cultural marxist crowd. Good luck with that... |

#5 Fat? Health problems? No wonder. Most kids these days spend most of their time watching TV and playing video games. And yet the schools cut back on PE classes. They don't have towels anymore so no showers so nobody wants to get sweaty. Then you feed them Frosted Flakes and Twinkies and then...I can't even talk about what you did to the scout troops. Dumbass. Add endless wars, woke generals and a crooked president who is so senile that he needs his wife to lead him around by the nose. Maybe you don't care if you lose Iraq and Afghanistan but someday we might get into a war in which our national security really is at stake. What then? |

#4 The Army won't meet its 2022 recruitment goal of 485,000 Someone got their numbers screwed up. That is the size of the active Army whose number is set by law. What are the retention numbers compared with prior years? People join for various reasons, but in the 80s the retention was highest for those who reenlisted for traditional reasons [which the command now says is white supremacist]. BTW, you don't need as many if you cut all the extra-territorial commitments you've locked yourself into. |

#3 The mandatory jab business. Outsourcing recruiting to tiktokers. 20 year Afghan war where they could be left at the drop of a hat, in real time TV and leadership showed cards that they are playing toy soldiers. I seriously think every Call of Duty type game *the recruiting pool grew up playing* has the level where the player has to hold off enemy swarms long enough for civilians to escape - here was the exact opposite. And a shoulder shrug about it. So let's go do it again in Ukraine! For Biden! Qapla'! Transition from a fighting force to a service force. Seriously, that video of the gal yelling at her superiors in front of everyone in the gym is not good. 10 years ago though, we had Joe the Red graduated from West Point with media honors, and what would now be called, 'The Duck out of Reveille Challenge." Emasculation of the soldier and creed. I believe the soldiers coming into real leadership positions are of the age of being marched around the block in red heels. Oh, and those kids you want who are self-motivated and sufficient, I wonder how many of them come from families who may be a bit upset about expenses basically tripling in three years getting called enemies of the state? But that's OK Daily Mail. A great starting point would be the physical and mental health issues created by Governments' Public Policies. |

#1 How many Antifa look like they'd survive basic training? How many at gay pride parade? There are some but not in the same numbers as those avoiding the woke. |
