... 4 years the government will take care of you for life

Its weird, I don't think that even is a thing in the military. But I HAVE heard civilians talk about the military like it does that and it blew their minds when I told them that it doesn't.

I'd rather serve crack than serve this country

cia : What if I told you that you can do both?

four years of living in a centrally planned society where all of your basic needs are taken care of and you can form a strong social bond with your fellow soldiers

This alone made me want to get in as an adult, but then I remembered the whole empire thing.

I know if we go to war with China what I'm going to be doing.

I genuinely think so many of this country's "problems" with the youth is due to the massive increase in atheism

Gay sex, t*******, furries, vaping, and lack of suicidal patriotism

Their war is in the streets and highways of their nation where they can cut your tiny car off and brake check you just so they know you saw their tattered black and blue flags (I assume this is a representation of their testicles) next to the unironic punisher logo on their giant rolling bank loan.

Do not, under any circumstances, fuck the troops

One thing they fail to address (bc Chud site obvioisly) is that many Chuds who would normally be Gung ho in the military aren't renewing because they hate Biden. They literally think he's "destroying military". One of my old coworkers was a former recruiter and he would go on rants to me about how biden is a communist and he made his brother (whom he got into the military) get out because of it. These people have no critical thinking skills. It's all reactionary.

this is hilarious

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

That’s pretty much the vibe I get from watching guntube content. It’s making a lot of people post small unit tactics and battle drills online so that’s either concerning or cool depending if you’re into that or not.

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

American chuds are the masters of purposefully destroying any institution where things don't go their way 200% of the time.

Memo to Washington: Turns out you can only fuck over young people to the point of literally sending their future up in flames before they stop signing up to enrich the already-obscene horde your visibly decaying ass is perched atop even further.

Pick yourselves up by the bootstraps and enlist.

Lowest in...80 years? That doesn't sound right. Wasn't there like, a big war or something 80 years ago and the US conscripted a whole bunch of people?

[-] Saeculum@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

1943 saw 8 million people in the US military, we have to go back to 1941 to see it smaller than it is today.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 9 months ago

I was mainly joking, but I think it is interesting that they use the term "in 80 years" rather than "before ww2." The second paints a very different picture and might have Americans question why their military has needed to be so large, bigger than it was during the biggest war in history.

We've tried berating them and ruining their future, why don't they love this country?!

18 year old kids know it isn't a good deal. If their parents have insurance and are able to keep it, they'll be covered until they're 26, and having student loan debt probably isn't as scary to them if they've seen multiple people (older siblings and friends) in their lives talk about it and be (relatively) okay. At the same time as that, there's also been enough of a reaction against going to college/taking on big debts that the idea of learning a trade is having a comeback as well. Given that 4 years is a hell of a long time at 18 and the prospect of an extremely structured environment sounds pretty bad to lots of people, it's a no-brainer that kids aren't even considering it.

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Yes. HAHAHA. Yes.

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

I really dont think more kids are not joining because they are more woke i think its because theyre unable to pass the asvab and more fat. I think they got stricter with medical stuff too
