I was recently at a multi-service event and the amount of enlisted I spoke to who were all getting out was unreal.  Probably 75% of them from E6 to E4 with anywhere from 4 to 10 years TIS were either in the process of ETS'ing or getting ready to start.  

The senior enlisted people said it was a massive problem and they saw no light at the end of the tunnel.  The worst example was an E6 with 14 years, said he couldn't take it anymore.  Damn, 14 years down the drain.

But don't worry, thigs are going swell and our people are being well cared for

It wasn't that long ago that the "don't ask, don't tell" policy seemed generous.

I'm convinced the military doesn't want to recruit.

Genuinely feel bad for the people that sacrificed so much, just to watch the country and institutions like the military fall

I never had any skin in the game and I feel betrayed. Can't imagine how those who gave almost everything feel. Even more so when the pensions stop cashing

Further underscores why it's important not to place the core of your identity into man-made institutions, because you will inevitably be disappointed. Faith, family and friends uber alles.

If Trumps wins I hope on day three he walks into the Pentagon and says "To all you woke fucks, get the fuck out now or be thrown out!" He needs to have ever every pride flag, trans BS, and every computer file, and piece of paper that promotes or supports this BS destroyed. He needs to address the nation that night from the Oval Office and tell America and our troops our military is not some grand social experiment but a fighting force there to defend the United States of America.

Day one is undoing all of Biden's EO.
Day two is shutting down the border.

View Quote

That seems to be a very plausible conclusion.  

I think that Team Obama/Biden/whoever has made it clear that they want the US to have the same power on the world stage as a country such as Germany or the UK.   Given our current government structure and foundation, the only way that will happen is to:

1.   destroy our economic power so that we are no stronger than any other country
2.   neuter our military so it resembles that of Germany, UK, et. al.
3.   "revise" the principles upon which our government is based (i.e. create a new constitution)

On further news Ukraine is admitting that Russia will be making offensive gains over the next several months.

Good thing the USA is focused on a sound global strategy.

Question: is there a chance that much of NATO and EU anti Russian naritive is based around simply removing options for their slaves to escape to in the future.

Once DEI and Woke are running the West would Russia be an option for people looking for just a bit more ecconomic freedom?
