RedditsuxPentagon Pete Fires ‘Fat’ Soldiers as War on Weight Rages
The recruiting crisis in the US military is pretty bad.
The funniest example is 24M$ the national guard spent in 2012 on recruiting at nascar. This generated 24,800 prospective recruits. ~$1000 per interested recruit. Not bad. Of those, 20 were eligible to join. 99.99% unfit for service. Of those 20, all declined to join. There's no evidence that the 88M$ spent on nascar between 2011-2013 generated a single recruit.
This is part of why the exclusion of trans folks, women and others from the military is such an own goal for the fascists. Any potential recruiting pool that's closed hastens the decline of our imperial supremacy.
“Unfit for service”
“Trans”
Same thing.
But yes, we need America to get healthier, but mentally and physically.
Vandals_handleSo true! Are you currently getting help from a mental health professional?
What argument, I’m agreeing with you.
So how does that make you feel?
I don’t care? It just confirms what I think about the modern left.
And why it’s always comical when I see them thinking the military would support them in some conflict.
Modern left is 1980’s right wing, Overton window shifted and defenestrated true left
There’s a lot of truth in that. The modern left hasn’t been for the working class / blue collar in a long time.
TrickDacyYou sure make a lot of leftist points for a fascist. Glad to know we agree on your nazism
Right, so for literally no reason but disagreeing with you, I’m a “Nazi Fascist”.
What should happen poeple you deem to be Nazi Fascists?
Nazi fascists are people who support fascist Nazis. You’re here slobbering all over Trump knob. Pretty straightforward. This “disagree” line Republicans are spouting now is hilarious. Yes, technically I disagree with your desires to torture and kill minority groups, but that word is a huge fucking understatement. We know you’re only using it to downplay your evils, you can give it up now.
“Your desires”
That’s a lot of projection based off of literally nothing.
So what should happen to these “Fascist Nazi’s”?
“Don’t lie”
Buddy, my sheer existence has you calling me a Nazi Fascist Russian. It’s the hat trick and you’re still wigging out, following me around on this thread and slinging wild ass insults based off of nothing.
And both parties suck, that’s easy.
Ah, so you’ve confirmed my assumptions. You don’t see the difference. The explanations there are always one of these two: too stupid to see the difference in cartoon evil and basically regular human shit; or intentionally erasing the difference in order to cover for Repuglicans. Gonna go option two.
Much of the working class regularly votes against their own self interest by voting for face eating leopards. Well at least they owned the libs, so they have that going for them.
“Against their own self interest.”
As true now as when it was written.
Yeah, it’s a real shocker why the working class wants nothing to do with the moment left. There’s nothing more modern leftist than insinuating you know better than the working class.
Problem is they, like many others, are tricked into fighting about culture issues. The robber barons have returned while we fight amongst ourselves.
Didn’t read the article, huh?
That’s the problem.
Great article, written by a anti-Trump leftist, for other leftists, on what went wrong regarding the working class support, but getting leftists to read it is damn near impossible.
It’s paywalled, m8.
The problem is people don’t read articles bigots post in comment threads? lol
You make it impossible for yourself. You shouldn’t be surprised people aren’t interested in reading your recommendations when you openly spew hate.
Trans people aren’t hurting anyone by wanting to be their authentic selves, they aren’t a problem.
Bigotry is a problem, it hurts people while distracting from the robber barons exploiting the working class and the environment.
Nope, the problem is that you guys lost to a dumbass like Trump, twice, and learned nothing.
All while actively chasing away the working class, which is pretty wild for a leftwing ideology.

Why would I not want the people running the government to be better than me at running a government?
That “Elitist Left” line really is some world-class propaganda. Kudos, right-guy, your teams propaganda is the best. It doesn’t seem to be possible to construct a sound-byte-level counter to it. It takes at least a paragraph to deconstruct the argument. But a paragraph deconstructing an argument is exactly what an elitist would do. It plays right into the narrative. Even the fact that I think a sound-byte is needed only helps the narrative. It’s really spectacularly good propaganda.
