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.
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.
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.
