Report finds US military is WEAK and will struggle to win a war: China is building more warships, fighter pilots don't have jets or training and army can't recruit enough soldiers
2022-10-19
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The worrisome trend was aired Tuesday by The Heritage Foundation, a think tank that analyzes the strength of the armed forces and potential threats to the US

  • In its Foundation's Index of US Military Strength, Heritage rated the military 'weak' and 'at risk' of not being able to protect America's vital national interests

  • The weak rating, down from 'marginal' recorded by the Washington-based agency last year, is the first in the index's nine-year history

  • It further found that rapidly advancing China remained the most 'comprehensive security challenge' to an ill-prepared US force

  • Aside from the overall 'weak' rating garnered by the military, Heritage provided each of the military branches with their own individual rankings

  • The Army scored 'marginal,' while the Air Force was ranked 'very weak' and the Navy 'weak.' The Marine Corps fared the best, receiving a 'strong' rating

#9  An I reassure y'all, even lipsticked, bra wearin', gushing-with-feelings, sensitive grunts on the American team will crush Chinese military. A lot of chinaman assrape on the decks maybe and boo hoo at the UN later.

#6  Whores ‘Я’ Us:

Judge forces US military to reveal that 500 vets are secretly taking jobs of up to $260,000 with foreign governments: 15 generals and admirals are being employed by Saudi Arabia - but DoD won't say how much they are being paid

#4  Unbelievable. No wonder these assholes are trying to distract us with their foolish proxy war in yet another irrelevant shithole.

The 2023 Index concludes that the current US military force is at significant risk of not being able to meet the demands of a single major regional conflict while also attending to various presence and engagement activities,' the report read.

'It most likely would not be able to do more and is certainly ill-equipped to handle two nearly simultaneous major regional conflicts.'
