Get rid of arbitrary "physical fitness" standards to expand the available pool of recruits. There's a frickton of people willing to serve that are denied because they happen to be "fat". Combat these days isnt two fricks hitting each other with spears face to face. You dont need a warrior's body to go to war anymore. The advent of the firearm has made that kind of physique obsolete for soldiers. There's no reason why larger people can't be allowed to serve, all the running and lifting in the world wont save you if a fat guy can drop you from 300 yards out.
Anyone who lacks the willpower/disciple to just not be fat (which is a hilariously low hurdle) lacks the willpower to be a soldier, even if it's just a latrine-cleaning POG.
>Nice larp
imagine being this delusional. How does it feel having fought against an enemy your government created, then having to come home to place worse than you left it? At least when after your inevitable PTSD induced suicide you'll no longer have to suffer being stuck with a body you broke for nothing.

No, it was because they had Russia, France and America doing most of the work.
>how can someone increase their military?
Probably more "terrorist" attacks and 9/11 to urge people to join the army for a good cause. Sad, but it's the truth.
Black person, MPs don’t go in with the first wave, they’re brought in to direct vehicle traffic coming off the beach.
Also, on the spot executions for cowardice are basically unheard of in Western armies (except in the case of Nazi Germany) and were rare even in the Red Army which had entire NKVD regiments dedicated to stopping retreats by force
>MP is there to kill people not leaving the boat >he's at the front >standing next to briefcases
How many people do you think actually believe this image
While it’s stupid to say that combat personnel don’t need to be physically fit for the duties, I might actually agree with this statement if you said this shit about non-combat personnel. A 30 pound overweight tubby in a warehouse that’s never going to step foot outside of the 50 states even in wartime doesn’t make a difference.
This is probably bait, but I'll play along anyway. Even with the advent of firearms, drones, and technology, physical fitness will still be a requirement for any military service to some degree because:
- medical emergencies, firefighting efforts, and going after active shooters all require the people involved not to be lethargic lardasses, particularly because these are time critical emergencies.
- there is still heavy lifting to be done, even with forklifts, cranes, and drones. Ask someone who's handled stores or ammo on a ship how they had to move the bulk supplies to any compartment. It's done by hand (working party, normally)
- being fit reduces the amount of resources required to keep fatasses out of medical (sleep tests for sleep apnea, blood pressure problems, diabetes, etc.) and that's gonna be important if you want to maintain the military workforce without having to rotate LT cheeseburger every two weeks for his next visit to doc. This becomes especially true in command locations that are decentralized.
There's more, but I can't be added to provide reasons all day. The ones I've rattled off the top of my head are significant enough to keep the military going if the physical standards are met.
tl;dr: put down the pizza, pick up a water bottle, and get on the fricking treadmill you fat frick. >Pic unrelated

There's no reason why larger people can't be allowed to serve, all the running and lifting in the world wont save you if a fat guy can drop you from 300 yards out.
The real fix is to let in people who are fat and then force them to get in shape with pay. That's what training is meant to do.
The question was 'how do we increase the amount of people serving'. 71% of youth don't qualify, at least a large proportion of that is due to being fat. ergo, the easiest solution is to make it so those who wouldn't be picked get picked and trained to slim down. It's not like soldiers collect zero pay during training so just tack on an extra 2-3 months of training/fitness. The only other way is stricter social control and regulation over what people eat, but just tossing people into longer training to burn fat is probably cheaper and easier in the long run.
>NOOO DAD YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY 500 POUND BODY IS ACTUALLY A LETHAL TRAINED KILING MACHINE FROM CALL OF DUTY AND FORTNITE >WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY STILL HAVE TO RUN AROUND AND JUMP AND CRAWL IN THOSE GAMES I'M JUST GOING TO BE A SNIPER DAD WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE EM
If you had a fat guy who was extremely smart and showed high aptitude to learning new skills and a skinny guy who was mentally average, and who would also be very capable of beating the shit out of the fat guy. Who would you pick to pilot a drone from a building on the other side of the planet?
The fit guy because he wouldn’t fall asleep behind the stick, and he has the personal responsibility to look after his body. Genius fat people are even more tragic than regular fat people because while they have the juice to be and do whatever they want, they simply don’t. The most untrustworthy kind of person you don’t want making fat decisions with ordnance.
stop fighting for the israelite and stop pushing the fricking vax on morons that are so poor they have to enlist.
put them on the mexo border with orders to shoot anyone coming north.
Probably skip some pointless eternal wars and also reconsider if intentionally marketing the image where recruits life is portrayed as shitty hazing is a good idea, when there are alternatives that pay better and don't involve generic military garbage
America has how many millions of people? 331 according to the recent census? I think 3,3 million people is enough for such a powerful country, but I'm not a US official, maybe they need more bodies for their global plans to police the world.

lmao this. Imagine telling your Roman soldiers back in the day they should believe in globohomosexual agenda and eat/take random witchcraft medicine and promote morons up to general tier that want to make your life an absolute mog.
Let me bring home all the gear and weapons I'm issued. I'm willing to put up with all the bullshit if it means a free M240B and NODs plus anything I find in the field
I would probably seriously consider signing up if this were true. I want to take home something other than service-related disability at the end of my contract.
Either DoD hopes the PrepHole autist will come up with a solution or Vanya wants to remind the US of its problems, both are equally hilarious, and it would be even funnier if I didn't have the looming water war right around the corner
Fat people are hilariously disgusting and untrustworthy people. Everything that comes out of their mouths or typed by their fingers is suspect. Why? The one thing, the one thing they have absolute control over they can't take responsibility for and control properly. If you can't be trusted to take care of your own body, what on earth can you be trusted with otherwise?
"For in everything that men do the body is useful; and in all uses of the body it is of great importance to be in as high a state of physical efficiency as possible. Why, even in the process of thinking, in which the use of the body seems to be reduced to a minimum, it is matter of common knowledge that grave mistakes may often be traced to bad health. And because the body is in a bad condition, loss of memory, depression, discontent, insanity often assail the mind so violently as to drive whatever knowledge it contains clean out of it. But a sound and healthy body is a strong protection to a man, and at least there is no danger then of such a calamity happening to him through physical weakness: on the contrary, it is likely that his sound condition will serve to produce effects the opposite of those that arise from bad condition. And surely a man of sense would submit to anything to obtain the effects that are the opposite of those mentioned in my list.
Besides, it is shameful to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your body. But you will never see that, if you are careless; for it does not come of its own accord."
Socrates admonishing his student Epigenes for being fat in Xenophon's "Memorabilia" 371 BC.
You still have to work for it fatty. Genes only determine how far you can go. But every regular person can get fit. If you’re mentally gifted, sitting at home watching marvel movies all day will do nothing for you, and you’ll get nothing out of it. You still have to put in the work. Fat people ALWAYS have an excuse. For their bodies, in the workplace, for social faux-pas, and mental oversights.
thanks for responding which prompted me to read more than just >imagine believing this
i'd say it is still possible for genetics to make adding on size "easier", but hardly relevant to the vast majority of people and shouldn't be used as some sort of excuse.
>grandma and grandpa are fat >aunts and uncles are fat >some of my siblings are fat >me and another sibling maintain skinny bodies because we're active but also like eating
muh genetics is the excuse of morons
buddy, flex your bicep. can you fit fingers between your bicep and your elbow? if you can, that's because of the length of your tendon. you can go curls till the death of the universe, and that tendon will always be that long.

You forgot something. Your coworkers spent decades b***hing nonstop about military life. Then around the rise of ISIS it went from kind of funny to being straight up disgusted with the entire military. ISIS rose and trannies became forced. And women?
Thing is, thats the b***hing and complaining thats been present for so long it became background noise. What changed? It became clear that only the worst and most poisonous c**ts are being selected for leadership and command. So even women are fed up with trying to join the military, because they had hoped, for decades, that it would be the opposite, and that being a competent female would be rewarded.
All the rapes and harassment was tolerated, even enjoyed by certain nasty prostitutes, but when it became damned clear that the military structure was intentionally trying to be even worse in its recruitment and promotion than the worst of the private companies?
It gets old talking to people who don't know what the frick they're talking about. I'm so done arguing with civilians about what the military is like as if I don't live it daily.
And guess what else. I'm not a god damned recruiter. I don't care if you join or not and it's not my job to make you want it.

So you know.
I met truckers (forgot their mos, who cares) that said they had to out of their trucks to clear houses in an ambush.
Hilarious. Like 99% of truckers who did anything off base over in Iraq and Afghanistan were civilian contract employees for Haliburton or Sysco or whatever.
Consolidate the army stop having moronic MOS's like dry cleaners, dog watchers, postal clercks and shit. half the jobs in the army are bullshit entry level jobs either outsource them or get some 20 year old infantry man to do that for a few months before being cycled.
If people don't qualify for the military because they are fat or out of shape you can just throw money at the problem and put them on a program to lose enough weight and get strong enough. Fitness training, diet stuff etc. Just requires throwing money at the problem and not too much since you will just have some soldiers that makes 10$ an hour doing it. My guess is they already do this and offer this idk haven't tried to join up. If you also wanted to you could have a required military class where they just shill joining the military in public highschools.
The problem isn’t the fatties, since they probably don’t wanna join anyways. The problem is some of the other automatic disqualifications. ADHD when you were a child? Sorry buddy. Some weird birth defect that got solved before your first birthday? Kick rocks. Broke a bone playing a high school sport? We need medical records and possibly a waiver if MEPS finds out.
Even the other shit makes it hard. I mean for fricks sake, the /meg/ says lying about medical history is GOOD.
It’s funny. While you can’t join with HIV, it’s no longer a disqualification for reenlistment. Which means that the government will pay for someone else’s daily pills, but not yours.
The rules are so arbitrary and dumb.
Healthy school lunches, fitness classes in highschool's, fitness education (how to exercise at the gym most zoomers don't know what a target heart beat is or how to lift weights even if its just on the machines), diet education basically just have dare but for being fat, sugar tax, some other taxes on unhealthy food, and whatever you can imagine.
wondering if you took out the weight issues, what the number would be. that would basically tell you what percent of young people aren't eligible to be gun owners, no?
Propaganda, good benefits/reasons to serve, and a clear message on what that military is for(protecting way of life, civic duty, etc.).
So yes, more money. There's no wide-open draft nor is there any 'do your part' nationally-pushed propaganda everywhere, and the budget for the army is a political sore point.(Republicans want less for the troops, more for their private pet jobs programs. Democrats want less overall)
Safety breeds low effort and short-term focus. Watch China attack hawaii or something 'real' and a war go hot for the US with a real enemy and watch that change.

>Army faces recruiting challenges >Fighting for a country that appoints mental defects to positions of power in the FedGov
Gee, I wonder why nobody wants to join the US branch of the IDF??
>the last several ad campaigns have been dogshit >without an ongoing war there's no point in joining >"but that's not the reason, it must be the israelites and this photo of the Secretary of Health in a larp uniform!"
Maybe Aktion T4 was on to something.
Because domestic and foreign intelligence services have a vested interest in stirring shit up, and have thousands of hired shills all over the globe to do the stirring. Which is why we need flags, desperately.
why would they need to stir up anti-american sentiment? honestly asking. there's enough to genuinely hate about this country that it seems like wasted money.
On the bright side it kills another twitter screenshot thread. Also Zogbots and Neverserveds need a zone to screech at each other over who wasted their life harder. I think its funny, akin to watching bums get into a fist fight
Naw. I didn't even bother to try to sign up. I saw the military was perpetuating the corona homosexualry and I turned 180° and moonwalked away from having that ever be a part of my life again
You want to fix the recruiting problem then return to fricking reality.
The only people who give a shit about securing the future of this country has always been and will always be athletic white dudes who are willing to fricking KILL people.
You want to fix the manning shortfall? Make the military what it used to be, male focused, killing and breaking shit focused. Stop with the Black person homosexual woman pandering and make a military worth joining for the people who want to join the military (young, white, conservative, Christian men)
Shitlib homosexual Americans aren’t interested in fighting no matter how much the media tries to gaslight us into believing it, and all you’re doing by pandering to them is turning away the former bulk of your potential fighting force.
However honestly it’s probably too late because that potential fighting force you should have been trying to recruit is more than likely more interested in killing you rather than joining you so whatever, frick you.
>The only people who give a shit about securing the future of this country has always been and will always be athletic white dudes who are willing to fricking KILL people.
their job isn't to kill the people within our borders that need killing though. securing our future doesn't including killing worthless sand Black folk or whatever the next gayop will be.
i do get the sarcasm, but that's exactly the issue. half the people on the "right", if not more than half, want the gay future. winning some elections or slowing the train is not a win and won't fix anything. desantis won't fix anything. trump won't fix anything. boomers are getting awfully close to the end of the line. demographic change goes crazy once they're gone.
"fixing it" sounds like accepting unacceptable outcomes.
holy frick go leave just like antifa and blm you arent going to FIX anything.

Instead of looking for fresh meat for the grinder. Change the military so you retain those of value.
The military constantly looses trained and competent members because of the quality of life and pay.
Start by housing people in private quarters with full features. Getting people off the ships and out of barracks. Then stop holding them at the end of the day for no valid reason. So the commander can tell them the same bullshit they hear everyday.
Promotion for e5 and e6 needs to be done like SNCO ranks. A board far away looking at a packet. Instead of the song and dance game that is BN promotion boards. MOS competency needs to be tested before being promotable. PT, civilian education, correspondence courses, etc need to be eliminated or pass fail box checks.
Find a better way to measure body fat. If they score high on the pt test. Then ignore them being fat.
If they injure themselves. Then do better with physcial rehab. Don't expect the guy who was bed ridden and in casts for months to be a PT hero in weeks or a few months.
Did somebody say Texas? I tell you what Sandy Cheeks got them cheeks hoo nelly Texas is the best independent republic of Texas because we never forget the Alamo. Tell you what boy I ain't no queer cuz I'm built like a steer
Bring back SOVL. Before the lot of you starting screeching at me about how "MULTISCAM - GOOD, F-35 - GOOD". Just hear me out.
By SOVL, I am not referring to specific pieces of equipment or camouflage patterns. I am referring to charm. The reason people are so nostalgic for BDUs, M16A2s, PASGT, and M203s is because the US Military back then exuded both an image of uncontested strength and a certain charm that has led people to attach emotional value to the physical representations of that era. The image of invincibility was shattered by American failure in Iraq and Afghanistan and the charm that once made it so appealing has similarly been lost.
I'll provide an example. The slogan used to go "Be All You Can Be". Until a few years ago it was "Army Strong" and it's "What's Your Warrior?" now. Both of those are objectively terrible slogans. They lack any sense of deeper meaning and are as mindless and well, SOULLESS as any corporate marketing slogan.
"Be All You Can Be" worked because it went beyond a mere call to enlist. It was a call for you to build your own strength of character by challenging yourself. Even outside of a military context, it rhymes and still retains its emotional appeal. In short, it was SOVL.
be all you can be was the gayest fricking commercial I've ever seen in my life. Super high pitched voices and little kids telling me to join the army. Army Strong WAS better than that.
1. tape test is stupid i can do all the physical fitness tests Ez
2. pay more. the nupoc program offered $5000 a month in school mean while i’m getting $80k a year offered from private companies after grad
3. they pushed whites out because they wanted diversity so bad. fine they don’t want me
so if that isn't the case, and they're having trouble getting enough bodies, wouldn't they realize their new marketing isn't working and revert to something that would? military people aren't actually as stupid as people say, right? are they just too stupid to realize their mistake?
Military brass are cut from the same cloth and go to the same colleges as the shaving CEOs who declared "frick men lol wait why aren't men buying our razors anymore"
You're thinking that these people don't realize what they're doing. I don't think that's the case in many of these instances. Do you think the Hollywood homosexuals don't realize that they're torpedoing successful franchise after franchise? I think they know, and they don't care. Nor do the people who hold the power, which sure as frick isn't retail shareholders.
If you're a shareholder of any company making odd choices, I'd suggest listening to the quarterly er webcasts. I have positions in a couple oil companies that basically come out and say that they realize strategies they're pursuing aren't the most profitable choices for the company but they have no choice (Whether it be punishment from banks, pressure from the large institutional holders, or whatever. Don't do what BlackRock wants? Your board will be replaced and then you will be replaced, etc).
I switched to safety razors after that commercial came out. Never going back.
The Gillette one. I think that is the shaving one that kicked it off. This was probably 2017 or 2018.

>Forward operating bases are now beginning to not serve meat, but "beyond meat" products.
If I get drafted, Im leading a rebellion against the government.
Libshits, fat beaners, and nogs will never willingly join the military, and will only do so because they need money, and the White straight male that did all of the military heavy-lifting for centuries is no longer interested in fighting for a country and government that hates them.
Sorry, you'll never fix the recruiting problems. They will only get worse.
I went through MEPs not too long ago. Like 90% of the 40 or so people there were first generation immigrants from africa/SA or had green cards. So in fact, Black folk and beaners actually seem to be the bulk of America's enlisted going forward.
People were making fun of trannies while waiting for the physical so you're right about libs though.
It's a combination of several things that leads to basically outright refusal for most kids to join and is also leading to a huge retention problem where the military can't keep its soldiers (including myself)
1. Woke bullshit. Soldiers pay attention when the top brass say things like "I want to understand white rage". It's also very noticeable that they are trying to shove women into every combat unit that exists, even if they aren't qualified. The military's top leadership should be focused in how to make us more lethal and that seems to be on the bottom of their list.
2. Afghanistan. Most high ranking officers/ncos don't seem to realize how bad for optics the afghan withdrawl was. Not only was it an extremely poorly planned operation, it was an incident that should've gotten a lot of dudes with stars on their chest fired and the only dude that did get fired was a Lt Col that had nothing to do with the operation that called for accountability. That shit made my blood boil. Not to mention that the entire war is considered a loss now. If I'm a kid that doesn't know anything about the military, why would I join an organization that seemingly lost to a bunch of cave dwelling goat herders?
3. Unironically ZOG. Distrust in the government is the highest its been a long while. The only people that are going to join are people that are trying to get something out of the military (i.e. college). All the patriotic guys that you want to join the military are gonna stay as far away as possible because the government truthfully does not serve the interests of the American people.
I think they are on the money with the troony ads. If the US population is to be replaced, the military who used to protect those values needs to be replaced as well.
This drop in applicants is probably just a temporary downturn until they find out how to communicate with their new target audience.
Liberals crave power over others, they dream about abusing random people they see on the street like how /k/operators dream about someone breaking into their house so that they can legally use their guns. Just look at all the social media moderators, they even do it for free, just for the feeling of power and to be able to "punish" others.
So yeah, they will flock to the army as soon as the army gets to burst down the doors of random middle class whites on the suspicion of bigotry or racism. We're not there yet, but it's only a matter of time until they figure this out.
step one: make people familiar with the military (aka give them a short, forgiving draft)
step two: higher wages (not that high but okay by non-academic standards)
step three: wait as people line up
this has been the recruitibg strategy the past 20 years in denmark
ever year the military is required by the government to conscript something like 4000 out of 16000 eligible 18 yr olds and 4000+ people volunteer for conscription every year.
put simply, make the job seem appealing and it won't look like you're forcing young people off in foreverwars.
they'll volunteer for them
Get rid of arbitrary "physical fitness" standards to expand the available pool of recruits. There's a frickton of people willing to serve that are denied because they happen to be "fat". Combat these days isnt two fricks hitting each other with spears face to face. You dont need a warrior's body to go to war anymore. The advent of the firearm has made that kind of physique obsolete for soldiers. There's no reason why larger people can't be allowed to serve, all the running and lifting in the world wont save you if a fat guy can drop you from 300 yards out.
The tape test needs to go, you can destroy the PFT and still not qualify
WE NEED MORE SKELES id score a 280 regularly and then be told im too fat and get a counseling statement. like holy shit.
Lol fattie
>t. low test and first to literally starve to death
Can confirm. That used to fukt me all the time when I was in 20 years ago

While it’s stupid to say that combat personnel don’t need to be physically fit for the duties, I might actually agree with this statement if you said this shit about non-combat personnel. A 30 pound overweight tubby in a warehouse that’s never going to step foot outside of the 50 states even in wartime doesn’t make a difference.
probably not, but still makes us look like the joke we are to everyone else.
yes, i know, we can be cowards and destroy them from afar so they don't actually realize how garbage our troops are
This is probably bait, but I'll play along anyway. Even with the advent of firearms, drones, and technology, physical fitness will still be a requirement for any military service to some degree because:
- medical emergencies, firefighting efforts, and going after active shooters all require the people involved not to be lethargic lardasses, particularly because these are time critical emergencies.
- there is still heavy lifting to be done, even with forklifts, cranes, and drones. Ask someone who's handled stores or ammo on a ship how they had to move the bulk supplies to any compartment. It's done by hand (working party, normally)
- being fit reduces the amount of resources required to keep fatasses out of medical (sleep tests for sleep apnea, blood pressure problems, diabetes, etc.) and that's gonna be important if you want to maintain the military workforce without having to rotate LT cheeseburger every two weeks for his next visit to doc. This becomes especially true in command locations that are decentralized.
There's more, but I can't be added to provide reasons all day. The ones I've rattled off the top of my head are significant enough to keep the military going if the physical standards are met.
tl;dr: put down the pizza, pick up a water bottle, and get on the fricking treadmill you fat frick.
>Pic unrelated
The real fix is to let in people who are fat and then force them to get in shape with pay. That's what training is meant to do.
Why should the taxpayer waste more money to get your fat ass in gear when you couldn't even do it yourself.
The question was 'how do we increase the amount of people serving'. 71% of youth don't qualify, at least a large proportion of that is due to being fat. ergo, the easiest solution is to make it so those who wouldn't be picked get picked and trained to slim down. It's not like soldiers collect zero pay during training so just tack on an extra 2-3 months of training/fitness. The only other way is stricter social control and regulation over what people eat, but just tossing people into longer training to burn fat is probably cheaper and easier in the long run.
ban corn syrup and most vegetable oils, forcing the use of, get this.
Animal fat. Lard.
And tax potato chips.

If you had a fat guy who was extremely smart and showed high aptitude to learning new skills and a skinny guy who was mentally average, and who would also be very capable of beating the shit out of the fat guy. Who would you pick to pilot a drone from a building on the other side of the planet?
The fit guy because he wouldn’t fall asleep behind the stick, and he has the personal responsibility to look after his body. Genius fat people are even more tragic than regular fat people because while they have the juice to be and do whatever they want, they simply don’t. The most untrustworthy kind of person you don’t want making fat decisions with ordnance.
Stop sending your soldiers to pointless wars for ZOG.

The draft would ruin the combat effectiveness of the 29% of your population who can serve, and that's only 14.5% who are men and can actual fight.

Because of the usual reasons these threads are made
Fat people are hilariously disgusting and untrustworthy people. Everything that comes out of their mouths or typed by their fingers is suspect. Why? The one thing, the one thing they have absolute control over they can't take responsibility for and control properly. If you can't be trusted to take care of your own body, what on earth can you be trusted with otherwise?
"For in everything that men do the body is useful; and in all uses of the body it is of great importance to be in as high a state of physical efficiency as possible. Why, even in the process of thinking, in which the use of the body seems to be reduced to a minimum, it is matter of common knowledge that grave mistakes may often be traced to bad health. And because the body is in a bad condition, loss of memory, depression, discontent, insanity often assail the mind so violently as to drive whatever knowledge it contains clean out of it. But a sound and healthy body is a strong protection to a man, and at least there is no danger then of such a calamity happening to him through physical weakness: on the contrary, it is likely that his sound condition will serve to produce effects the opposite of those that arise from bad condition. And surely a man of sense would submit to anything to obtain the effects that are the opposite of those mentioned in my list.
Besides, it is shameful to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your body. But you will never see that, if you are careless; for it does not come of its own accord."
Socrates admonishing his student Epigenes for being fat in Xenophon's "Memorabilia" 371 BC.
But you can inherit a well built physique.
Genetics.
>imagine honestly believing this
You still have to work for it fatty. Genes only determine how far you can go. But every regular person can get fit. If you’re mentally gifted, sitting at home watching marvel movies all day will do nothing for you, and you’ll get nothing out of it. You still have to put in the work. Fat people ALWAYS have an excuse. For their bodies, in the workplace, for social faux-pas, and mental oversights.
Untrustworthy, the lot of em
anyone who doesn't think that your physique is a large part genetics is a fricking invalid who has never worked out.

buddy, flex your bicep. can you fit fingers between your bicep and your elbow? if you can, that's because of the length of your tendon. you can go curls till the death of the universe, and that tendon will always be that long.
have you ever seen someone that has visible abs but they aren't symmetrical? how much more ab work do those people have to do in order for them to become symmetrical?
i'm definitely not talking about people being fat or someone having fancy beginner gains in the weight room.

any guesses as to why there aren't many nba players with monster calves? they don't work out?
u wot mate
shq has pretty fricking big calves
hello old gen x homosexual.
you do realize that there are exceptions to rules, right? the answer would be since their tendons are so fricking long since they are so fricking tall. it is virtually impossible for the majority of them to grow impressive calves, because so much of the leg is taken up with tendon.
boy, sure sounds like a lot of big strong alphs in here and not homosexuals looking at pictures of guns all day LMAO
you gave me category of nba players. Hell, even Miami Heat has a bunch of big calf dudes and they ain't even top of the league like shaq
calf size is largely genetic, it's incredibly hard(albeit not impossible) to bulk them up by working out since they're naturally amongst your best developed muscles already due to walking
Biggest bullshit I've read in a long time. I tripled my calf circumference by just biking max speed and force 1 mile 4x a day for three months.
>To be fair I was a skeletron when I started and was also doing squats with 100lbs on my back in sets of 50.
Nah bro calf is determined by whether you run on the front of your foot or back of your foot.
Basketball players wear huge brick shoes and can’t properly form their cavs without a proper training regimen because of it.
This anon is probably telling the truth because he’s peddling on the forefoot and engaging his calves properly.
yes eugenics and breeding specifically works so well.

Why are the PRO-military posters always the bigger shitposters anymore? Like, I'd genuinely love to see some cogent or reasoned defense of the current state of the US and its military, what you're actually proud of or what you're actually achieving, but instead it's just a solid fricking wall of
>lol neverserved
>u r a russian shill
>gb2 /misc/
>antivaxxer moron
>ur too pussy to enlist anyway
I mean in theory you guys are the ones with the burden of trying to convince people to enlist in or at least emotionally support the military, how does being as arrogant and antagonistic as possible forward that goal?
It's like the entire fricking military-industrial complex took its marketing cues from the Ghostbusters remake and never bothered to look up how that worked out.
god damn that is one ugly frickin Black person
the crackhead hair doesn't do her any favors
bruh its PrepHole.
lol you think they have reasoned arguments on other gun boards? the gun enthusiast crowd literally consists of the stupidest people in society. i didn't realize this before and it actually not good.
>how does being as arrogant and antagonistic as possible forward that goal?
We already tried to explain, years ago. Eventually you run out of steam trying to talking to people who don't understand and don't give a shit about honest discussion. There's no point taking neverserveds seriously anymore.
It happens to every generation of soldiers. All the way back to WW2, WW1 and earlier.
So instead you shriek meaninglessly into the darkness, making any outside observers have even more negative feelings towards the military since they're probably all buttholes like you.
Truly 4D chess.
yes, frick the military. frick america. frick americans. the side the supports the military are pieces of shit and don't deserve to have power or influence.
Seethe, neverserved. I had fun and got paid to kill for Uncle Sam. Educating you isn't my job.
lmao is that supposed to make anyone who isn't a loser jealous?
i'd be a janny for that. apparently we don't have many people from wisconsin here
Not him, but I was the same way as you... once.
I had the most excitement of my life
But losing friends fricking sucks man, and it sucks even fricking more not only because they were ultimately pointless wars where we turned tail and ran, but also because the country (and the military) has gotten drastically fricking worse since I served, it has deteriorated to the point that I'll never recommend military service to the US to a zoomie - and for those who are dead set I'll advise to go 100% to game the system, max out disability, the works.
>starts shitposting threads and cries about the army
>is mad when soldiers talk shit to them curtly
lmao weak
>weak
like america and our military!
>still seething and sobbing
lmao, try eating a salad.
bud, i'm actually exceptionally lean. like practically stage ready. striations all over. keep projecting though.
here is a gift for the fat fricks here. if you really can't do it normally, give this a go:
nutraburn-dot-ws/shop/
keep the dosage realistic if you don't want to die 🙂
what actually is it? is it just some kind of steroid?
t. fatBlack person
>what is dnp
lmao. that's the drug you hear is dangerous because some younger folks decided to take more than they should and then go to d1 two-a-days and died.
it is an uncoupler. it works. better than anything else. by far.
there is still somehow a reddit sub for it /r/dnp or just random searches on dnp. they have a lot of decent info. this is something you're going to want to read about before taking. it isn't a joke, but safe as long as you keep levels reasonable (you will be too sweaty to really function outside of your house if you take too much. especially now that it is summer).
Recommended to work out under the effects? Or would I just die of heatstroke or something at that point.
lifting is fine but you'll be more maintaining what you have rather that adding on much mass. I wouldn't bother with cardio. you'd want to keep the "cycles" pretty short at first. a couple weeks or so. keep protein intake higher than normal. drink a frick ton of water. buy most of the antioxidants you'll read about people using. keep from ejaculating in females you care about (your loads will be yellow) while on it.
>bud, i'm actually exceptionally lean. like practically stage ready. striations all over. keep projecting though.
>no body with timestamp
>still seething
lmao
even if you weren't lying, this projection screams mental instability.
it basically dissolves your fat and turns your body into a dyhydrated furnace. It's illegal in bongistan because some slag grilled herself alive by taking too much.
i'm probably a bit mentally unstable after the last couple of years. i don't really care if you think i'm lying or not.
well...maybe i do care a bit. i'm also the guy who has posted his barbells a couple of times. usually people with these bars (do you even know what they are? i'm sure you know, right?) are gigantic fat slobs.
have a good day.
Wait, is the strawman in your head "everyone who hates the military tried to enlist and was rejected"?
Holy fricking shit dude, imagine extending this logic anywhere else
>I don't want to frick a guy
>lol cope you just can't get hot guys I'm sucking big dicks 24/7 you jelly bro? yeah u jelly

>FRICK YOU FRICK YOU NEVERSERVED NEVERSERVED
>SURE LOOKS LIKE I WON THIS ARGUMENT HUH gay
>t. Never served
It's okay son, maybe you'll do something worthwhile with your life some day
So tell me anon how was the war in afghanistan "worthwhile"?
Indeed it was anon. A grand adventure it was. Many laughs were had. Many tears were shed. Ultimately it was a more human experience than wage slaving. I shouldn't be too hard on you though as it wouldn't have possible without your support
Well I’m glad you were able to enjoy your time playing in the sandbox, at my expense. Hope you took a lot of great lessons home with you, including the guide on how a peasant guerilla insurgency can defeat the worlds “most powerful” military.
I get too watch missiles go boom as my day job without playing dress-up so nah im good.
don't overshare, israel might send you a bill for all the fun you had on their behalf
> neverserveds
keep patting yourselves on the backs, wienersuckers. you willingly signed up to get paid to do it. you did it because you thought it would be beneficial FOR YOU. you deserve no round of applause. go frick yourselves.
see
This place is a cesspool. It wasn't always(it was a shitflinging pit, but at least the average IQ was slightly above room temp instead of below it), but 2016 really fricked this place hard since all the moronic reddit normies fled here when they banned a bunch of them.
You forgot something. Your coworkers spent decades b***hing nonstop about military life. Then around the rise of ISIS it went from kind of funny to being straight up disgusted with the entire military. ISIS rose and trannies became forced. And women?
Thing is, thats the b***hing and complaining thats been present for so long it became background noise. What changed? It became clear that only the worst and most poisonous c**ts are being selected for leadership and command. So even women are fed up with trying to join the military, because they had hoped, for decades, that it would be the opposite, and that being a competent female would be rewarded.
All the rapes and harassment was tolerated, even enjoyed by certain nasty prostitutes, but when it became damned clear that the military structure was intentionally trying to be even worse in its recruitment and promotion than the worst of the private companies?
Yeah no. Just hell no.
There are no upsides to serving anymore. None.
It gets old talking to people who don't know what the frick they're talking about. I'm so done arguing with civilians about what the military is like as if I don't live it daily.
And guess what else. I'm not a god damned recruiter. I don't care if you join or not and it's not my job to make you want it.
My job fundamentally is to hunt human beings. Would you prefer this to have a glossy veneer? If you were about that life you'd simply be here.
>My job fundamentally is to hunt human beings. Would you prefer this to have a glossy veneer? If you were about that life you'd simply be here.
lmfao you really typed that shit
I'll have you know I participated in numerous raids on al-abama and am trained in gorilla warfare
Usually starts with trying to answer questions in earnest. Which I don't mind doing but then I need to wade through everyone who wants to convince me there's trans story hour and I must've just forgotten it
>

why would you even do that, or want to do that, in the first place? last thing i want to do is have conversations about my job with people who don't work in that field.
you hunt amerians? i would sign up for that. i couldn't care less about going after some sand Black person or similar.
Well you're esl, so you should join your shithole countries military and hope they start something so you can get clapped by a troony with a drone bomb.
>My job fundamentally is to hunt human beings.
*muffled Linkin Park in the background*
Where is the lie? There is only so much you can do to sugar coat it.
They are government employees and they are on the clock with script in hand
This won't save you you know. Kek. When our roasties are stronger than the average male of other countries and your technology is firmly planted in 1970 while ours is pushing the new millennia to its brink there's absolutely no hope. Our national guard is your special forces. Let that sink in.
and of that 1% only 7% serve in combat MOS's like 11B while the rest are there to grab welfare and get out.
Hahaha so true. Know a former air force guy who did computer stuff. Tries to pull the “neverserved just don’t understand”. It’s like “no, i really don’t, i didn’t need to join the military to get my life in order or learn to make my own bed, i was doing that shit in elementary school”.
>Hahaha so true. Know a former air force guy who did computer stuff. Tries to pull the “neverserved just don’t understand”. It’s like “no, i really don’t, i didn’t need to join the military to get my life in order or learn to make my own bed, i was doing that shit in elementary school”.
So you know.
I met truckers (forgot their mos, who cares) that said they had to out of their trucks to clear houses in an ambush.
The amount of spin and gymnastics they pull to trick civilians into thinking they are combat vets is disgusting
what percent of truckers do that then? 50%, 80%, 100% or just a few, like the one you talked to?
Hilarious. Like 99% of truckers who did anything off base over in Iraq and Afghanistan were civilian contract employees for Haliburton or Sysco or whatever.
Consolidate the army stop having moronic MOS's like dry cleaners, dog watchers, postal clercks and shit. half the jobs in the army are bullshit entry level jobs either outsource them or get some 20 year old infantry man to do that for a few months before being cycled.
If people don't qualify for the military because they are fat or out of shape you can just throw money at the problem and put them on a program to lose enough weight and get strong enough. Fitness training, diet stuff etc. Just requires throwing money at the problem and not too much since you will just have some soldiers that makes 10$ an hour doing it. My guess is they already do this and offer this idk haven't tried to join up. If you also wanted to you could have a required military class where they just shill joining the military in public highschools.
The problem isn’t the fatties, since they probably don’t wanna join anyways. The problem is some of the other automatic disqualifications. ADHD when you were a child? Sorry buddy. Some weird birth defect that got solved before your first birthday? Kick rocks. Broke a bone playing a high school sport? We need medical records and possibly a waiver if MEPS finds out.
Even the other shit makes it hard. I mean for fricks sake, the /meg/ says lying about medical history is GOOD.
I have eosinophilic esophagitis. guaranteed means I cant join if I tell them even though it means I just have to take a pill once a day.
It’s funny. While you can’t join with HIV, it’s no longer a disqualification for reenlistment. Which means that the government will pay for someone else’s daily pills, but not yours.
The rules are so arbitrary and dumb.
High school fitness.
Better fitness and lower fat = higher test and more natural interest in things like the military.
Healthy school lunches, fitness classes in highschool's, fitness education (how to exercise at the gym most zoomers don't know what a target heart beat is or how to lift weights even if its just on the machines), diet education basically just have dare but for being fat, sugar tax, some other taxes on unhealthy food, and whatever you can imagine.
High school lunches already have the strictest limits and specifications imaginable. That's why they suck so hard.
literal fascism. I can't even
>71% of youths don't qualify for military service?
wut?
Too fat, drug addicted or mentally ill to pass basic screening
wondering if you took out the weight issues, what the number would be. that would basically tell you what percent of young people aren't eligible to be gun owners, no?
Propaganda, good benefits/reasons to serve, and a clear message on what that military is for(protecting way of life, civic duty, etc.).
So yes, more money. There's no wide-open draft nor is there any 'do your part' nationally-pushed propaganda everywhere, and the budget for the army is a political sore point.(Republicans want less for the troops, more for their private pet jobs programs. Democrats want less overall)
Safety breeds low effort and short-term focus. Watch China attack hawaii or something 'real' and a war go hot for the US with a real enemy and watch that change.
Two easy solutions.
1: bring back the draft
2: give citizenship to any 18-35 year old who comes to the US and is willing to enlist
Problem solved
3.3 million active military personnel without any risk of being invaded and that's a crisis?
Problems Americans face:
>double digit inflation
>cratering economy
>border invasion
>skyrocketing crime rates
>depression, drug abuse, alcohol abuse
>fentanyl laced street drugs killing over 60k per year
>massive growth in poverty post pandemic
>obesity
>hopelessness among the citizens
Problems Congress wants to address:
>J6 show trial
>gun bans
>Ukrainian civil war
>why no one sign up for military?
No one wants to fight or die for this 3rd world shit hole any more.
>Army faces recruiting challenges
>Fighting for a country that appoints mental defects to positions of power in the FedGov
Gee, I wonder why nobody wants to join the US branch of the IDF??
>the last several ad campaigns have been dogshit
>without an ongoing war there's no point in joining
>"but that's not the reason, it must be the israelites and this photo of the Secretary of Health in a larp uniform!"
Maybe Aktion T4 was on to something.
Why do we have this thread every single day? The same exact thread with the same exact replies.
because i wanted to upset another social media thread about 1 bullet hitting one object.
are we on social media now, anon?
yes, yes we are
Because domestic and foreign intelligence services have a vested interest in stirring shit up, and have thousands of hired shills all over the globe to do the stirring. Which is why we need flags, desperately.
why would they need to stir up anti-american sentiment? honestly asking. there's enough to genuinely hate about this country that it seems like wasted money.
It's called agitprop, anon. And the chinks, the russians, and the Feds all have different things they want to agitate.
On the bright side it kills another twitter screenshot thread. Also Zogbots and Neverserveds need a zone to screech at each other over who wasted their life harder. I think its funny, akin to watching bums get into a fist fight
ah yes, because you being the centrist are so above either
Yes, now get on the grill. All you homosexuals are getting roasted via charcoal
i am a zogbot and a hassevred whatre you going to do about it i have eternal gives
Ask if you have any good stories
>how can someone increase their military?
By being a country worth fighting for.
I stopped considering the military the moment they mandated the covid vaccine
holy sit you got denied because you are badass mccool double fisting machine guns everyday you showed up when you felt like it?
Naw. I didn't even bother to try to sign up. I saw the military was perpetuating the corona homosexualry and I turned 180° and moonwalked away from having that ever be a part of my life again
>Texans finally have a collective meltdown
Are we witnessing the birth of a new shitposting power not seen since the Australians got internet service?
nah i just like fricking over texans i hate them so much its unreal besides armenians.
Texans and Australians are soul siblings, at least that's what the stars tell me
You want to fix the recruiting problem then return to fricking reality.
The only people who give a shit about securing the future of this country has always been and will always be athletic white dudes who are willing to fricking KILL people.
You want to fix the manning shortfall? Make the military what it used to be, male focused, killing and breaking shit focused. Stop with the Black person homosexual woman pandering and make a military worth joining for the people who want to join the military (young, white, conservative, Christian men)
Shitlib homosexual Americans aren’t interested in fighting no matter how much the media tries to gaslight us into believing it, and all you’re doing by pandering to them is turning away the former bulk of your potential fighting force.
However honestly it’s probably too late because that potential fighting force you should have been trying to recruit is more than likely more interested in killing you rather than joining you so whatever, frick you.
>The only people who give a shit about securing the future of this country has always been and will always be athletic white dudes who are willing to fricking KILL people.
their job isn't to kill the people within our borders that need killing though. securing our future doesn't including killing worthless sand Black folk or whatever the next gayop will be.
This country isn’t worth saving frankly
dont worry you whites will join forces and do a civil war and fix all the problems trust me bro
He’ll yeah brother 1488 from (rust belt state)
i believe you
Post sims homosexual
i do get the sarcasm, but that's exactly the issue. half the people on the "right", if not more than half, want the gay future. winning some elections or slowing the train is not a win and won't fix anything. desantis won't fix anything. trump won't fix anything. boomers are getting awfully close to the end of the line. demographic change goes crazy once they're gone.
"fixing it" sounds like accepting unacceptable outcomes.
holy frick go leave just like antifa and blm you arent going to FIX anything.
yeah i'm not saying i'm going to or anyone else is. they aren't. they can't. it is done. hence the frick america frick americans spam...
nothing wrong with america
okay homosexual. please make it to template next week. they're. missing you.
if i didnt have 5 threads up alredy id wpost anohter one
fick you b***h
move to wisconsin. we should hang out.
>nothing wrong with america
literally, 100% serious, i hope your entire family dies.
oh it already is, im not joking im unmarried same with sister and she wont have kids ^.^
please make sure you have 15 or 16 more kids because you will definitely hit a home run with one of them.
also frick your kids i could care less if they get lost and die in a river
starting to feel like there is a disconnect between our replies. it already is what?
im drunk i dont care i can just yell at the toilet and im proud of myslef
Your guns will be voted out of your hands
i honestly hope they are. fricking laugh my balls off watching all the tough talkers hand them over just like their b***h asses took the vaccine.
ah you had me until the last part. we couldve been friends 🙁
i didn't take it. most of them did.
im glad youre smarter than literal medical doctorinos
i used to post my parking pass (1488 parking number. how neat) in addition to my barbells. do you happen to work with any doctors that testified in front of congress about the vaccines? i did.
>1488 parking number.
huh you have to post a parking number?
and lease post your importance of vaxx shit, i got one just because i want to go see family so i had to so frick you Black person calm down
who wouldn't enjoy that parking pass number that comes here? you know the doctor who i'm talking about now?
lol why do you people get so upset when someone shits on the vaccine?
i cant believe how may smart people merged in the last 2 years oly frick all these college PhDs just leaking out of the wood work
Aw, did you get personally invested?
>thinks ill comply
not my fault you dont have assault weapons already.
If athletic white dudes would just stop turning into women we could get there
t. having confusing homosex thoughts
anon. please dont
if we aren't going to lure the chink into a trap with juicy boypussy, how do you supposed we overcome their numbers?
mail order brides and desegretate or whatever its called gays marrying we can absorb more of them into our ways
>t.
Post your selfies there
stop being so butt hurt some disagrees with you lol
I'm not the one posting pictures of myself to prove how assblasted I am
im not going to post a selfie becase youre horny go back to one of the dick rate generals
idk I saw a pretty fit girl who was at least 6'2" walk into the recruiters office today.
Did you get her number for me?
Instead of looking for fresh meat for the grinder. Change the military so you retain those of value.
The military constantly looses trained and competent members because of the quality of life and pay.
Start by housing people in private quarters with full features. Getting people off the ships and out of barracks. Then stop holding them at the end of the day for no valid reason. So the commander can tell them the same bullshit they hear everyday.
Promotion for e5 and e6 needs to be done like SNCO ranks. A board far away looking at a packet. Instead of the song and dance game that is BN promotion boards. MOS competency needs to be tested before being promotable. PT, civilian education, correspondence courses, etc need to be eliminated or pass fail box checks.
Find a better way to measure body fat. If they score high on the pt test. Then ignore them being fat.
If they injure themselves. Then do better with physcial rehab. Don't expect the guy who was bed ridden and in casts for months to be a PT hero in weeks or a few months.
why do you post essays and reddit spacing if you cant explain a point 1 or 2 sentence you dont understand ad subject
It's called paragraphs for different subjects you ESL.
I understand perfectly. I was in the us army for 9 years. I know why people quit or get booted.
found the texan
Did somebody say Texas? I tell you what Sandy Cheeks got them cheeks hoo nelly Texas is the best independent republic of Texas because we never forget the Alamo. Tell you what boy I ain't no queer cuz I'm built like a steer
Scuse me texas do texans need texans texas texas ill tell you you texas bigger ims better
do you come from arfcom. be honest.
excuse me hes huwhyt
No.
I've been a /k/ommando since you were still getting spanked by your daddy.
>looses
i've about had it with you looses Black folk
Bring back SOVL. Before the lot of you starting screeching at me about how "MULTISCAM - GOOD, F-35 - GOOD". Just hear me out.
By SOVL, I am not referring to specific pieces of equipment or camouflage patterns. I am referring to charm. The reason people are so nostalgic for BDUs, M16A2s, PASGT, and M203s is because the US Military back then exuded both an image of uncontested strength and a certain charm that has led people to attach emotional value to the physical representations of that era. The image of invincibility was shattered by American failure in Iraq and Afghanistan and the charm that once made it so appealing has similarly been lost.
I'll provide an example. The slogan used to go "Be All You Can Be". Until a few years ago it was "Army Strong" and it's "What's Your Warrior?" now. Both of those are objectively terrible slogans. They lack any sense of deeper meaning and are as mindless and well, SOULLESS as any corporate marketing slogan.
"Be All You Can Be" worked because it went beyond a mere call to enlist. It was a call for you to build your own strength of character by challenging yourself. Even outside of a military context, it rhymes and still retains its emotional appeal. In short, it was SOVL.
holy frick Black person
aint no one reading that wall of text
be all you can be was the gayest fricking commercial I've ever seen in my life. Super high pitched voices and little kids telling me to join the army. Army Strong WAS better than that.
The marine free climbing a cliff. To then grab a sword and slay a dragon. That's a good recruiting ad
1. tape test is stupid i can do all the physical fitness tests Ez
2. pay more. the nupoc program offered $5000 a month in school mean while i’m getting $80k a year offered from private companies after grad
3. they pushed whites out because they wanted diversity so bad. fine they don’t want me
>they pushed whites out because they wanted diversity so bad.
holy shit your echo chamber is working so good its good
??
They can't even fricking choose good-looking minorities to use for propaganda can they?
ZAMN!
so if that isn't the case, and they're having trouble getting enough bodies, wouldn't they realize their new marketing isn't working and revert to something that would? military people aren't actually as stupid as people say, right? are they just too stupid to realize their mistake?
Military brass are cut from the same cloth and go to the same colleges as the shaving CEOs who declared "frick men lol wait why aren't men buying our razors anymore"
>I don’t understand ESG criteria for raising capital since 2018
We know. Blame those pushing ESG investing criteria for raising capital.
I think you mean execute in the most painful and pubic way possible, anon.
You're thinking that these people don't realize what they're doing. I don't think that's the case in many of these instances. Do you think the Hollywood homosexuals don't realize that they're torpedoing successful franchise after franchise? I think they know, and they don't care. Nor do the people who hold the power, which sure as frick isn't retail shareholders.
If you're a shareholder of any company making odd choices, I'd suggest listening to the quarterly er webcasts. I have positions in a couple oil companies that basically come out and say that they realize strategies they're pursuing aren't the most profitable choices for the company but they have no choice (Whether it be punishment from banks, pressure from the large institutional holders, or whatever. Don't do what BlackRock wants? Your board will be replaced and then you will be replaced, etc).
I switched to safety razors after that commercial came out. Never going back.
What commercial?
The Gillette one. I think that is the shaving one that kicked it off. This was probably 2017 or 2018.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_Men_Can_Be
They seem to have utterly buried it since airing it (who can blame them lol) and it was a b***h to find versions now that aren't commentary or parody but here it is, at the 1:03 mark
Procter and Gamble reported quarterly losses of eight billion fricking dollars on the Gillette brand after the ad aired
>Forward operating bases are now beginning to not serve meat, but "beyond meat" products.
If I get drafted, Im leading a rebellion against the government.
bump
i feel much better after vomiting bile all over this thread. apologies
Libshits, fat beaners, and nogs will never willingly join the military, and will only do so because they need money, and the White straight male that did all of the military heavy-lifting for centuries is no longer interested in fighting for a country and government that hates them.
Sorry, you'll never fix the recruiting problems. They will only get worse.
I went through MEPs not too long ago. Like 90% of the 40 or so people there were first generation immigrants from africa/SA or had green cards. So in fact, Black folk and beaners actually seem to be the bulk of America's enlisted going forward.
People were making fun of trannies while waiting for the physical so you're right about libs though.
Not us military but I was deemed unfit for service because of my bad vision despite being able to do anything as well as anyone else with my glasses.
Shit like that makes me seethe when they complain about a lack of recruits
many such cases
Just double the pay scale at every rank.
It's a combination of several things that leads to basically outright refusal for most kids to join and is also leading to a huge retention problem where the military can't keep its soldiers (including myself)
1. Woke bullshit. Soldiers pay attention when the top brass say things like "I want to understand white rage". It's also very noticeable that they are trying to shove women into every combat unit that exists, even if they aren't qualified. The military's top leadership should be focused in how to make us more lethal and that seems to be on the bottom of their list.
2. Afghanistan. Most high ranking officers/ncos don't seem to realize how bad for optics the afghan withdrawl was. Not only was it an extremely poorly planned operation, it was an incident that should've gotten a lot of dudes with stars on their chest fired and the only dude that did get fired was a Lt Col that had nothing to do with the operation that called for accountability. That shit made my blood boil. Not to mention that the entire war is considered a loss now. If I'm a kid that doesn't know anything about the military, why would I join an organization that seemingly lost to a bunch of cave dwelling goat herders?
3. Unironically ZOG. Distrust in the government is the highest its been a long while. The only people that are going to join are people that are trying to get something out of the military (i.e. college). All the patriotic guys that you want to join the military are gonna stay as far away as possible because the government truthfully does not serve the interests of the American people.
>t. ETSing infantry officer
>71 percent doesn't qualify
Please tell me they have ridiculously high requirements
I think they are on the money with the troony ads. If the US population is to be replaced, the military who used to protect those values needs to be replaced as well.
This drop in applicants is probably just a temporary downturn until they find out how to communicate with their new target audience.
Liberals crave power over others, they dream about abusing random people they see on the street like how /k/operators dream about someone breaking into their house so that they can legally use their guns. Just look at all the social media moderators, they even do it for free, just for the feeling of power and to be able to "punish" others.
So yeah, they will flock to the army as soon as the army gets to burst down the doors of random middle class whites on the suspicion of bigotry or racism. We're not there yet, but it's only a matter of time until they figure this out.
step one: make people familiar with the military (aka give them a short, forgiving draft)
step two: higher wages (not that high but okay by non-academic standards)
step three: wait as people line up
this has been the recruitibg strategy the past 20 years in denmark
