We're literally importing higher housing prices, and lower wages... America's greatest threat is south of the border, and the assholes in charge who refuse to do anything about it. Same goes for Europe. FFS... in some recent polling... 70% of Europeans think that their governments are taking in too many immigrants... yet all these so called "democracies" and "representative governments" ignore that same 70% of the population. Worse, they *GAS LIGHT* the population with their Intelligence-community-controlled press, into thinking that their opinions are radical, and that they're in the extreme minority, and that they're just being "racist" or some bullshit. I'm 1000x more concerned about our domestic issues than I am about Israel or Ukraine. Sir, this is a Wendy's. When the US Government undermines the very principles that serves as the prime motivators of serving their country, don't be surprised when people stop thinking that joining the military is a viable option. When you diminish nationalism and patriotism as "White supremacy" and accuse anyone who cares about our constitutional rights as "white racists engaging in white rage"... well you've alienated the very demographic that you're trying to recruit. Its literally the Bud Light mistake. General Milley openly bragged about betraying America to China if America were to carry out an attack on them FFS.  Top military brass are literal admitted traitors. They undermined Trump himself, and lied to him about troop deployments in order to circumvent his authority FFS. If you think you can turn that ship around,... good luck. |

The Pentagon provided funding for child-sex slaves to be used for "entertainment" for our so called "friends" in Afghanistan. I dont care what Daemon says. Anyone who sexually abuses kids, deserves ZERO credit for anything they may or may not have done "for our country". I dont care if they risk their lives to serve as interpreters or Afghani Police or served in the Afghan armed forces. A literal basement dwelling NEET who at least isn't a pedophile,... is far more respectable than someone who's idea of a good time is to hire Bacha Bazi. I dont care if the latter is a high speed, low drag, smooth operator killing hundreds of Taliban. Anyone who rapes kids, is irredeemable trash. The moment someone rapes a kid, everything they've done doesn't mean shit... and they deserve nothing more than a woodchipper death. No one who approves of Bacha Bazi belongs in America, or Europe, or frankly,... *ANY* Civilized country People who approve of the sexual exploitation of kids, deserve the woodchipper. IT *DISGUSTS ME* that our own fucking government was complicit by providing funds to entertain our so called "allies" in that manner. I know several people who've been to Afghanistan, and the vast majority of them have nothing good to say about Afghanistan or Afghanis in general. |

I own my dumb crazy person unhinged drunken argumentative asshole posting behavior past. Totally. That was who I was. But I also got a shit load of good will from a lot of people. I would even get positive pm's here and there. Had lots of memorable interactions with lots of people. I have real life friends that are members. Then I changed my screen name and avatar because I thought it was hilarious. I also chose my old name when I was like 23. It was stupid. People that knew me back then still know me.

I remember being in the Arizona Guard after active duty. Night time movement (Infantry unit) during training and we had to cross a really busy 2 lane highway. Dude ran our road blocks and hit one of my friends. Damn near severed his leg. Docs managed to put it all back together. Guy spent two years at WTU, and was running, rucking and all the good stuff.

As far as your username, feel free to change it any time. Not only does it not accurately reflect your character, but literally nobody would even notice. Dude, he has leg cramps ! That's serious pain The vascular surgeon who worked on it told me that it would never get better, and no amount of exercise would ever "fix" it. Its an issue of restricted blood flow to that leg. Its not a matter of "Oh just work out bro, it will get better". FWIW, I *HAVE* been working out. I can ride a bicycle and really push hard. I can lift. But for whatever reason, hiking and running just exerts that muscle group in a way that if I push it too hard... it reaches a certain limitation due to the physics of not enough oxygen reaching the muscles. There is no "working through it". If ignore the pain, the muscle will fail. I would never be able to run a mile... at least not in an acceptable time frame. Even if I *COULD* somehow *MAGICALLY* be able to work out that leg until it somehow *MAGICALLY* could let me hike and run further distances.... MEPS is going to see the injury. They're going to test the blood flow to my feet. They're going to see the diminished blood flow. They would have turned me down. Even in your hypothetical scenario, where I somehow was able to just "tough it out". The real world isn't a Hollywood movie. There are some injuries that permanently take away certain capabilities from you, and no amount of "stick-to-it-tiveness" is going to fucking overcome that. About the only way I could perhaps get rid of this issue, would be to have the leg cut off and have it replaced with a prosthetic... but what good would that have done me? The US military still would have turned me down. FFS, they asked people if they ever had Bronchitis at the time. They were turning people down for ever having BRONCHITIS. But you think I was going to get past MEPS with a 12" Surgery scar.... a fucking GSW scar (.45ACP) ... and all these vascular functionality tests that would have deemed me a liability and prevented me from joining. You dont understand the complications caused by that injury. |

First and foremost, disband the Guard. Second, you're all going to need to leave the military to save the Republic. Conservatives can't join because its too woke and serves the lefts agenda. They couldn't join during the GWOT because someone had to keep the economy chugging am I right? The modern conservative isn't a doer, he's a director. He wants someone else to do the work because he has to run his small construction business and not be bothered on his 40 acre bug out plot.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PatriotAr15: Chicken shit? I tried to join. I was depressed at the time because I really wanted to join, it was my childhood dream to join and even my recruiters basically told me there was no chance I would be able to get in. They literally dropped me like a hot potato. MEPS people basically scared me into thinking that if I lied about having taken Ritalin, they'd sue me and jail me. I was defeated by that. I then ended up getting injured when I was 20... and that injury prevents me from walking up hill too fast without my left calf muscle cramping. I can't even run a very far distance without that leg cramping up on me, and eventually the muscle fails on me if grit my teeth and bare the pain. I dont have to prove anything to you. If I hadn't been injured, perhaps after a couple of years I might have found a way to get in like you did. But that injury sealed my fate. And I picked my username at a time when I had a far more positive and optimistic view of America's future. The past few years have left me extremely black pilled. I wish I could change my username. Perhaps I can, but then people will think I'm some other poster and I'll lose the continuity of identity. I agree, the name is a bit too "self-ingratiating". I regret the username, but I'm stuck with it. According to your defintion of "Patriot" its anyone who fights for the US government and supports everything they do. Not someone who stands for certain principles. I bet if Joe Biden ordered the US military to fire drone strikes on Americans who refuse to turn in their guns or trans their kids... you'd call the drone pilots "True Patriots". You talk about joining the military and taking a stand for the core values of the US Military? Those have all been thoroughly subverted. Your highest generals now dismiss all of Conservative thought and dedication to the Constitution as "White rage". Our founding fathers warned us that the biggest danger to the American people is our own government and standing armies. Hey, if you think you can change the military from the inside? Have at it... good luck. Even if I wasn't blackpilled, its too late for me anyway. JFC. We're so over. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PatriotAr15: The US Military rejected me over *RITALIN* and having a one time history of *BRONCHITIS*. I *SHOULD* have lied about it like my recruiter said. Once I got my injury, there was no way of lying around that. There was no way of getting a "waiver". You seem to be of the opinion that a person can suffer any injury in the world, the US military will accept anyone if they just "Try hard enough". Thats not fucking true. The world isn't a Hollywood movie where if you just work hard enough, you can do literally anything. Not everyone can become an astronaut. Thousands of people apply to become an astronaut. No matter how hard most of those people work at it, they'll *NEVER* become an astronaut. No matter *WHAT* I could have done, there was no joining the US military. There was no way I was going to hide that surgery scar and that GSW. Well, I'll give you this: you still argue with NCO's who know better than you. Back in the late 80's, I walked into the local recruiter's office and told them I wanted to join the Army. They sat me down in front of a computer and had me take an ASVAB diagnostic test. I scored really well and he REALLY wanted me to enlist, as it would have made his numbers look great. He drove me home that afternoon and got my folks to sign the paperwork to allow me to take the actual ASVAB and go to MEPS. I took the actual ASVAB and did really well. Before I went in for my physical, he and I had a conversation about my health history. I told him about being prescribed an inhaler when I was 11 for allergies. I also told him about breaking my wrist at 15 and my right ankle at 16. My dad was retired military, so my medical records were official military records and held at the nearby Air Force Base. He picked me up one morning, drove me there, had me pull my medical records, and we sat in his car going through them. Anything which might even remotely disqualify me, he pulled the page out of the file and told me to forget it ever happened and to never mention it at MEPS. You know what I did? I followed his advice and I ended up enlisting. |

I think PatriotAr15 should change his name and have a name change contest thread.
At least he toned down the socialist occupy rhetoric, so that’s good. |

In reality both you and PatriotAR15 could get eaten by bears tonight and I sincerely doubt anybody would notice, here or elsewhere, outside of your fetish cartoon subscription services when they stop getting paid. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brasscrossedrifles: Recruiters trying to make mission will send all sorts of dudes to MEPS. I might know a guy who pretended to be someone else to take the ASVAB for the other guy. The other guy was a walking rock who could barely spell the letter A. But he was really anxious to join the Army and the recruiter REALLY needed to make mission. Luckily for the recruiter, he knew a dude who, although he was about 5-6 older, could reasonably pass for the brain trust and who had previously served in the same division in Germany at the same time as the recruiter, where they partied in the same bars and knew some of the same people. So, for the price of a 6-pack of beer and a McDonald's value meal, the first guy took the ASVAB for the second guy, scoring a 128 GT score and the ability to enlist in any MOS he so chose. In Minecraft, of course. |

Only a complete fucking idiot would die in the US military today for Joe Biden's fucked up foreign policy, to defend Nancy P's obscene wealth, and dick and Liz Cheney's fucked idea that America is somehow still the country it was right after world war 2.
The jerk off establishment has been abusing people that volunteer to defend the country for decades, and most likely celebrate every white heterosexual male that dies needlessly to defend a foreign policy that makes them wealthy. It's about time this group started to wise up and let the establishment and their pets do the dying for Biden's fucked up foreign policy, Nancy's millions. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bye_Felicia: I remember being in the Arizona Guard after active duty. Night time movement (Infantry unit) during training and we had to cross a really busy 2 lane highway. Dude ran our road blocks and hit one of my friends. Damn near severed his leg. Docs managed to put it all back together. Guy spent two years at WTU, and was running, rucking and all the good stuff. People manage to find a way to do it. Has the US military ever recruited someone with a prosthetic? Perhaps they've kept people in active duty with a prosthetic leg. According to what someone said earlier in this thread, that's apparently just "Instagram infantry" and fake? Wouldn't know. But I don't think I've ever heard of anyone ever being able to join the US military with a Prosthetic. |
