I served 10 years in the USAF.
Morale, at this moment, is incredibly low. The elephant in the room is we hardly have enough people volunteering to serve relative to the MASSIVE need.
Knee jerk decisions like LA and now Iran don’t help. Few want to be forced to do something questionable.

If a country's warmongering isn't popular enough to get recruits, it's not popular enough to engage in.
There are millions of them. Shouldn't be so hard to find ONE.
Turns out they're all on the side of fascism in the USA.
I, too, served in the usaf. I no longer respect the flag, uniform or government...they took my body autonomy and right to vote. I tell kids to run away from service due to our government. Can you really blame me?
Kids walking around were NOT candidates. Physicly or emotionly. Only wanted drivers to sign a 🧢 or 👕.
Kids are lost. AI wnt help
He kept his Oath to the Constitution until the day he died.
Might as well just skip the crime du jour and actually uphold the contract we mutually agree makes us advanced humans capable of deferred rewards.
But Desert Storm had just happened, and I didn't want to risk getting sent to a war like that.
By the time things calmed down a bit from Desert Storm, 9/11 happened, and we've been at war ever since, one way or another.
I’m a vet and I picked no. No recruiters reaching out and they can’t attend any military recruiting events.
I can’t stop an adult from joining, but I can keep the bastards away from my kids until then at least.
My uncle served in US Navy - Vietnam War.
I’m proud my Filipino fam serving. 💜
I talked to a Vietnam Vet at a protest. He told me to make sure she ALWAYS has the number for the UCMJ on her person.
He fears the illegal orders will be rampant.
On behalf of humankind.
Noem may soon offer citizenship in exchange for enlistment. All immigrants should say “hell no”.
President!
Piece of advice?
Don't enlist.
Don't go to OCS.
Don't go into ROTC.
Don't.
Pay attention to the commercials:
- When the US needs people for war? The commercials talk about careers, college, job advances, acceptance, etc.
- When they don't? Its a marine climbing a plateau on fire.
We *do not care* if you've already signed up, you have the choice to leave up until you hit basic and get past Processing Days.
So unless shooting your friend from highschool is on the "to-do" list? No.
Join something like "Food Not Bombs", help your local community, get fucking active with groups in your city and god-fucking-damnit dont let them entice you with sign-on bonuses.
Simulations and checks have been done, if Mango decides to start a civil war the US mil will lose a *minimum* of 1/3 of its personnel to them just fucking *leaving* and likely taking gear with them.
The other 2/3? Complete fracture, infighting, loss of chain of command, the works.
Why were you deep throating @lancestorm.bsky.social over his political knowledge the other day when he's a brain dead "elbows up" NPC who still votes for the Liberal policies that have destroyed his country over the past decade

Nobody signs up to invade...Canada.
It is time to throw these Constitution rejectionist out of our Congress and Executive.
Iran through its H-triad of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis is the primary driver of Middle East terrorism.
Iran through its H-triad of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis is the principal driver of Middle East terrorism.
The Persians need to butt out of Arab-Israeli affairs and this has taken them out.
The enriched Uranium has not reached weapons grade yet.
Iran played a game, like Saddam, and lost. Even Russia is stepping back.
Their sponsorship of terrorism is also on the floor. Hamas and Hezbollah are all but gone.
The US starting a war over *maybe* slowing down Iran's progress while massively pushing their determination to build a nuke doesn't look like a great idea though.
Especially after gutting counter terrorism in the US and alienating every ally.
But when Israel control the Iranian skies and can take out leaders at will the regime is now in survival mode.
Lots of missiles will be fired at random non military Israeli targets that have zero strategic impact.
Lots of threats and noises to come but no substance.
Know why ? We keep sending them into wars that have nothing to do with the defence of the United States...
I can assure you these folks didn't sign up to be the enforcers of various dark agendas around the world.
We should bring them home.
Gaza, Ukraine, masked bands of unknown men kidnapping people off US streets, calmly allowing a crazed dictator to drag us into WW3?
I never thought I would say this, but when are good men going to #DOSOMETHING ?
Stand up and say, "I won't do that" and proudly accept the fallout.
or his rich buddies
Then he corrected himself saying no, to nuke sites the boys went “in and out and back”
which put a focus on “in and out”
because once you say “out” why say “back”🙄
So.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4n02PD18cFs
Hegseth: "Of course I wasn't drunk when I sent the initial orders, and I definitely didn't forget to put the actual targets on them."
“Boys in Bombers”
TLDW; If they go against orders they'll be immediately punished, and would have to wait until a full judicial inquiry has been completed to determine if the order was in fact illegal or not to possibly have their punishment rescinded.
You should tell the masses.
He has brought on enough misery already. We need to undo his wrongs, & heal the pain he caused US citizens. The absurdity of him as a president has run its course.
Vance is equally unfit.

Raging like a Meth head on crack every freaking day!
Sending the military into the streets to knock American heads instead of protecting the country from the real enemies!
Plenty of MAGA freaks to enlist!
Great! MAGA Army!
We need more doctors and nurses. We need more teachers. We need more scientists…
We also need LESS military actions, which would solve the stretched too thin problem.
It’s time to start changing the narrative. “World’s largest military” is killing the nation.
Invest less in the army and more in healthcare, education and housing. Invest in people.
My dad was USAF intelligence. I know he's rolling in his urn
I heard more people signing up for military but that’s just because they can’t find jobs!!
FOX TV claimed during the "parade" that enrollment in the Army was booming.
FA, screw the whole nation.

Recruitment is way way up in all 4 branches..Thanx Trump !
Enjoy the bot farm slave wages. Loser.
I mean seriously, who would even WISH to serve (in morally questionable circumstances), under 'Helmless' Hegseth???
👎🧻🤢🤮

Get that glimpse of moving off paper spreadsheets.
Gotta piss off the warfighters.
They are completely deluded by the idea that the US military can consist solely of White, Straight Men.
Was that not true?
Is that not enough?
If there are questions in your mind about the things that Trump has done to America and Americas soldiers.
Please do not sign up for the military.
You are a traitor to the constitution and to gods law.
Hope MAGA white men are ready for the draft!
DEI that, dumb asses. have the day you deserve, boots on the ground
Even though historically Republican presidents start the wars.
Also she’s white but her husband is Asian so she voted for the racist. SMDH
