What We the People Are Saying:
"My son-in-law had 8 years in, and refused to reup. 'Too Woke' is all he says about it. His Dad did several tours in Nam, and fully retired a warrant officer. So everyone thought he would retire too. Nobody wants to play the woke game but wokesters."
“My daughter got chapter out for “refusing a command” to get vaccinated, her response to the BAR and notice she was being chaptered out was to explain that she could not have refused a command given her command and DOD never supplied her with a vaccine fully approved by the FDA, but only EUA approved vaccines which require informed consent even for military servicemen. They chapter her out with the same status as a drug dealer or rapist. I am thoroughly disgusted with military leadership. My daughter went from being a very patriotic serviceman to being pessimistic about any military branch and our government, and who can blame her after the treatment she was given.”
"Sending a child into the military was always a risk, but parents did it in hopes the child would grow up, learn something valuable, and get some life experience. Nowadays, who wants to send a child into an organization that is more about radical indoctrination than it is about national defense? About expanding one's sexual horizons and tolerance of deviance than about warfighting? When the parent veterans no longer support the military and do not encourage their kids to join, the nation has a big, big, problem. The most dependable pool of recruits has always been the children and siblings of veterans. My family has a long history of military service, from WWII, to Vietnam, to Desert Storm, to GWOT. I retired after 20. I would not encourage my children to join today. Think about that, Millie, Biden and company. You have lost the veteran parents... and it is your fault. It is going to take a huge effort to regain the trust of this important population; this group of political activists is not the group that will do that."
"I was the Equal Opportunity Adviser for an Army installation in 2009. We got a new mission statement. It was called “Blueprint for the Nation”. It was sold as “what the military does, the nation will follow”. We removed all references to “unity” and replaced them with “diversity.” We also were forbidden from saying “melting pot” and replaced it with “salad bowl”. Now here we are. A nation divided. No unity. No national identity. This plan for our collapse and civil war has been long in the making. I don’t believe there is a path forward for bringing back what our forefathers knew. Very sad."
"And then we wonder why the military has recruitment problems. It’s not because a bunch of bigots don’t want to serve alongside people different than them. It’s because a bunch of people don’t want to serve alongside others who aren’t the best qualified because their lives may literally depend on it."
