Ok, how many of you are actually in the military? In any capacity to see behind curtains?
And I didn't mean there aren't liberals in the military, there have always been liberals serving is what I meant...
What I meant by that comment was exactly at face value, the people in Hollywood and the media aren't physically serving. They're in Hollywood and in the media.
The military is going to change, but it won't be to be more liberal... It's going to change to continue to fight off our enemies and threats. That outfit to some might seem liberal-ish, but it will be needed change.
A lot of you need to do some reading.
BTW I'm a conservative that is serving in the military.

I've got 18 years in and plan to try and hang on another 4 years.....if I can.
If I was under 10 years in though I'd bail now.
dispersed technology and non state actors make a bloated tanks & brad army a little obsolete these days.
plus it feeds the monster in northern virginia. enriching contractors and paying lazy DoD civies good money.
tax paying citizens are getting fleeced.

Thank you for you service.

What if the “enemy” and “threat” (according to your “liberal” military “leadership”) is the American people? As I type this, National Guard Troops are still in DC protecting a government (one that wipes its collective arse with the constitution) from “We the People...as written in the Constitution”
What if the attack is against so-called “white supremacy” groups - aka...domestic terrorism?
Another definition they may apply in determining “domestic terrorists” is “Trump voters.” It should be far fetched, but the modern day left has no problem bandying about concepts such as “re-education” to “deprogram” people (Trump voters?).
That outfit to some might seem liberal-ish, but it will be needed change.
What does this even mean?

Considering the lofty principles upon on which this nation was founded, you are serving at the sole discretion of perhaps the most corrupted governing apparatus in human existence.
The Pentagon is the global enforcing arm of our nation’s wholly corrupted and completely irredeemable national security apparatus.
The sooner supporters of limited government come to this inescapable conclusion, the sooner we can find peaceful solutions to the current crisis.

Unless he is poor, and planning to stay that way, he won't join the US military.

After the Civil War, you couldn't get a southerner to serve in the US Army. You just couldn't. It was a long long time before we fought under a US flag again.
I understand the belief that things are just going to be same forever. We tend to project what we know into the future like that - it's how our brains work. But we're undergoing a very real revolution.
The most immediate shift, is the insertion of women into combat arms roles.
It's going to shatter the warrior ethos.
People will leave the services, and recruiting will dry up.
It's also going to destroy our fighting ability. But that's another story.
The other big shift, and you've seen this over the last few months, is the loyalty test. Generals have always been politicians, but now you're seeing ideological tests being applied to everyone in the services, top to bottom. To make rank, any kind of rank, you will have to get right with your commissar, and what you'll end up with is very politicized and toxic leadership.
Any force that puts that kind of ideological loyalty first, isn't going to be effective as a fighting force. Internal security, yes, combat, no.

This what your recruits will look like.
It's fully possible we'll end being as dysfunctional as the Bundeswehr.

Frankly, I am tired of promoting the absurdity that we can oppose the mission and still support the troops. Do we apply this same perverse logic to the bureaucrats working in the Welfare Department or the IRS?
Some of the youngest troops serving in Afghanistan weren’t even born on 9-11-2001. At this late stage anyone serving in the military is either a willing Statist tool or they are a hapless victim of a massive and insidious propaganda campaign.
In any event, the perpetual occupation of Afghanistan is not doing a damn thing to protect our nation’s Liberty and in a multitude of ways actually endangers it. Indeed, the criminal ruling apparatus in Washington D.C. poses a bigger existential threat to my personal liberty than any external military threat from Beijing, Tehran or Moscow.
With that said, I hope no harm befalls ANY of our troops but on that same token, I have no deep-seated gratitude for anyone who signed up for such a mission. And I’m tired of seeing so-called “conservatives” continue this charade that it is unpatriotic to question the military.

The people in the military who are actually the warriors worth a shite will never turn their weapons on Americans. Without them the military doesn’t pose much of a threat.
Sure, you’ll have plenty of soy boys and losers who joined up for the free shite but will they even want to actually fight?

They won't have a problem finding people to bully us into submission. Look at Soviet Russia, look at Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.

Well, it’s a slow boil.
What happens if there’s no trigger. If we don’t have a Concord moment?
We may just slowly surrender our freedoms, until, one day, we wake up and we’re prisoners in this new totalitarian state.

Just exactly what happened 1 morning in NAZI Germany, woke up one morning and it was too late. Hitler declared Dictator by the Reichstag and all civil liberties suspended. All parties declared illegal and members shipped off to camps or murdered. Third Reich- how it happened
