We have a lot but not personally why?
They only fear some CEO's turning against them and possibly funding their primary opponents, not actually being held to account for what they have done.
Plus, thanks to Putin going full retard, they can also just say anyone who isn't for the draft is a "Russian sympathizer", like they are already doing for people who question the 2020 election.
I will only believe they cannot avoid the backlash if/when a Red Wave happens, and we see actually repurcussions for the shit that has happened the past few years.
Till then I consider 'the coming backlash' nothing more than wishful thinking and operate on the assumption that the elite and powers in DC have nothing holding them in check anymore except their own ego's and pride.
Which is precisely why people need to be aware they are again floating the idea of a draft, because if they can steal elections, then they need not fear doing something so monumentally stupid.
To the surprise of absolutely no one
But the women is so easy I have seen out of shape women pass more then they shouldThis decision actually does make sense when setting the minimum standards.
Age catches up with everyone and there are differences between men and women in terms of athletic potential.
The standards being right is another issue entirely ...But the women is so easy I have seen out of shape women pass more then they should
I think its far less controversy, probably least of all, when it comes to old officers in whose training the military has already invested an immense amount of resources, yet they are in a point in their career where they are unlikely to do physical work anyway.The standards being right is another issue entirely ...
If the Army wants, say, 90% of everyone they've got in any given age/sex group to pass the basic fitness test then the standards for a guy your age will be a lot more demanding than the one a general in her 60s has to meet.
The article addresses that concern too. Not everyone has a frontline role (most don't) and someone will also have to meet the fitness standards their role requires if they're higher.The biggest controversy is about who is going to get the chance to start that career, at a point where they do in fact need to be physically capable, and have the military invest into training them, keeping in mind that in many of frontline roles that training may be wasted if the person receiving it is physically unfit to apply that training effectively in the field.
And that is how you get a draft to happen when a war breaks out.Army Reducing Its Numbers in Face of Recruiting Difficulties
The Army this week admitted it was having problems recruiting and announced a reduction in its numbers for fiscal year 2022 and 2023.www.breitbart.com
Heh, this isn"t a surprise, particularly given they are booting people over not taking the Wu Flu vax, plus losing soldiers in thier sleep to...odd ailments since the vax was pushed out, have the A-stan withdrawal hanging over them, less than 25% of the pop would even be able to enlist without a waiver, tight civie labor market, and the 'Woke' bullshit infesting the Pentagon
Maybe the military brass should stop huffing thier own farts and start realizing that they will have to either scale back thier commitments, or accept being chronically undermanned going forward. Because the military life is attractive to fewer and fewer people anymore, and the public are more aware than ever of the idiocy , pettiness, and political bias of our military leadership.
And threatening a draft, particularly during peacetime, is not going to happen, because it is political suicide for whoever floats the idea.And that is how you get a draft to happen when a war breaks out.
Because guess what....
The tines we have needed drafts are when the military downsizes
I mean, if war over Taiwan happens the Navy won't have enough people and a draft will be needed.And threatening a draft, particularly during peacetime, is not going to happen, because it is political suicide for whoever floats the idea.
Actually attempting to pass legislation to bring back the draft would probably see riots that make the BLM riots look tame and could lead to a second civil war if DC is actually dumb enough to attempt to enforce a draft.
With the economy and US social situation rather iffy as is, attempting to bring back the draft just to make up numbers lost to Wu Flu bullshit discharges/Wu Flu vax deaths could very easily be the straw that breaks the Republic's back.
Edit: Also, a 'war time' draft is unlikely to happen, because most 'wars' that could justify a draft would be against people who will enforce MAD, thus the draft would be moot, because the nation would already be filled with radioactive craters by the time a draft could even be implemented and there will be bigger issues than trying to get warm bodies for foreign adventures.
I celebrate people seeing through the recruitment and PR bullshit the military utilizes, and I am not naive enough to think a fight over Taiwan wouldn't escalate to MAD long before any draft could actually be put into effect.I mean, if war over Taiwan happens the Navy won't have enough people and a draft will be needed.
The point I am making is that the more you celebrate people not wanting to join, the more and more likely a draft is likely to happen.
I think the real point is that the military needs to stop doing the woke shit, stop kicking people out for not wanting to get the WuFlu vax, clean house amongst the upper ranks, and just generally do better than it has been the past few decades. The only reason people are celebrating is the same reason people celebrate when some woke bullshit doesn't work out for some company that used to make something we actually enjoyed.I mean, if war over Taiwan happens the Navy won't have enough people and a draft will be needed.

You think the US Military doesn't allow for ADHD people to join? They can join.I celebrate people seeing through the recruitment and PR bullshit the military utilizes, and I am not naive enough to think a fight over Taiwan wouldn't escalate to MAD long before any draft could actually be put into effect.
But that's the reality you don't want to deal with; that any threat that justifies a draft is also a threat where MAD would likely make a draft moot.
Edit: Also, trying to draft people to fight for Taiwan is going to run smack into the fact that a lot of the US populace is already 4F thanks to how widespread stuff like clinical depression, ADHD, etc. are in the current US populace and the fact the meds people take for those effectively removes them from the enlistment and draft pool already.
Less than 1/4 people in the US qualifies for enlistement standards these days as is; you think that number is going to get better by threatening a draft over Taiwan?
This is why the US military needs to start scaling it's commitments to it's manpower, not trying to scale manpower to it's commitments.
I fully agree on the woke shit, though still have yet to see it at FORSCOM in the Army.I think the real point is that the military needs to stop doing the woke shit, stop kicking people out for not wanting to get the WuFlu vax, clean house amongst the upper ranks, and just generally do better than it has been the past few decades. The only reason people are celebrating is the same reason people celebrate when some woke bullshit doesn't work out for some company that used to make something we actually enjoyed.
Ah yes, the old recruitment spiel; it might work with people less informed than me. Let's go over this point by point.You think the US Military doesn't allow for ADHD people to join? They can join.
The Army also throws away such things when a draft comes up.
Because plenty in already suffer form these things and need bodies.
But you know what the military does that majority of other things won't do?
Pay off your student loans
Free collage worhout needing a scholarship.
A stable paying job and a place to live with no other bills to make money off of.
Can legit see the world.
The military I about what you make of it.
Not suffering because you decide to suffer.
A draft is going to happen if we keep cutting back and a war happens.
Because guess what. Bodies will be needed I'd our Navy is to remain on top, same with the AF.
But people like you are to far lost in thinking having a weaker military means more money or things elsewhere.
It just means you make us less and less of a world power and allows other countries to walk over us.
I mean, if war over Taiwan happens the Navy won't have enough people and a draft will be needed.
The point I am making is that the more you celebrate people not wanting to join, the more and more likely a draft is likely to happen.
Then you are in for a world of surprises. Its a pet peeve theory created by naive peacenik left.4) I'm not just wanting less power for the military for budgetary reasons, though I do have those as well. My main reason for not wanting too strong a military is because a weaker US military is less of a threat to the average US citizen.
They all use national police forcesThen you are in for a world of surprises. Its a pet peeve theory created by naive peacenik left.
Meanwhile, you would be clever to compare your theory to real, existing authoritarian countries whose governments do in fact threaten their population on a regular basis.
Do any of them have a strong, professional military? How much of the day to day oppressing is even done by the military there?
