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.

So true! Are you currently getting help from a mental health professional?
Yep, insults and no arguments, nice.
What argument, I’m agreeing with you.
Nope, you’re just insulting me and pretending not to be.
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.
And the right has been nazis for a long time too.
Thanks for proving my point in real time.
You 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”?

State your opinion on Democrats and Republicans.

“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.

Right, so I’m still a Russian Nazi Fascist according to you, because I don’t agree with you fully.

Exactly what I said.

You’re a Nazi because you support the fascist American party. You admitted that.
Nope, sure didn’t, but you are very unstable.
