> Let’s look at the attitude of the military towards the people who they want to enlist. Many are white males who know which bathroom to use, but if you’re a white male who knows which bathroom to use, you’re an extremist and a racist and an enemy and you’re going to get passed over for promotions and assignments for people based not on anything that you did, and not because of merit, but purely because of your race, sex, and normality. “Come, join an organization that actively hates you!” is not much of a sales pitch.

They say there is no chance of US boots on the ground even as the big offensive flounders and the Russians – as they have done throughout history – build back from initial defeats. But you can trust the PINO and the generals and admirals, right? Just like we trusted the establishment’s claims about Iraq’s WMDs. Our elite has got quite a stellar record on foreign wars lately, but maybe, as PINO Biden has threatened, you can someday fight other Americans at home to preserve leftist power! You can bet that’s one war they would put their heart into winning.
