Can we get an army recruiter to do an AMA here?

I don't think young people *ever* wanted to join the military. There's really only one personality type who actively wants to serve. The way the military currently tries to recruit though even the red state conservatives who feel some sense of patriotism and duty to serve (terrible things, I know) are turned off.

We're so fucked by the manchildren and emotional babies who are currently in charge.

Without having done the research, I thought it was historically (recent history) poor young people who were enticed by the opportunities such as free college that the military offered. Also, I think there was a strong generational component, meaning that if someone's grandparents or especially parent served honorably, their descendants wanted to be like them and also serve

Mainstream culture convincing everyone that modern America is a shitty evil place (despite everyone and their mother wanting to come here) is definitely not working wonders for current military recruitment, I hear

And when the people who actually want to serve do join. Now they get slapped because they want to uphold a just lawful society and not a society of manipulative entitled abusers and druggies who get a free pass for winning the oppression Olympics special label of the month.

“If”

I knew this Marine. He did two tours in Falluja. He was attending a local community college to get a productive degree in mechanical engineering but he had to take this dumb philosophy class. One day the professor said "If hard work is important to you guys I need you to prove it to me today."

The Marine quietly got up from his desk and politely sucked off the professor in front of the class. When he was finished he said, "I apologize but in the Marines we are taught this is how to defend America today."

I'm repeting this story. Share if it makes you sad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

being in the army was based, most people are incompetent so if you have an IQ over 90 you will get waivered for early promotions and make decent pay
