Amidst all the excellent news items I’ve read (so far) this week — fedgov departments closed, useless people fired, lawbreakers under investigation etc. — I think this one gave me the greatest pleasure:
The U.S. Army recently announced it shattered previous recruiting records, with December 2024 being the most productive December in 15 years.
The branch reported it enlisted nearly 350 soldiers every day that month, Army officials announced Tuesday on social media.
In January 2025, the Army hit its best recruiting number in 15 YEARS.
Putting that into perspective:
During the last fiscal year (2024), the Army missed its recruiting goal by 15,000 active-duty soldiers. That makes 25% of its target. This shortfall forced the Army to cut its planned active-duty end strength from 476,000 to 466,000. Army officials project that active end strength could shrink by as much as 20,000 soldiers by September, down to 445,000.
It just shows you that under the right leadership, Americans want to serve their country.
I did 4 years in the army and it was by far the stupidest thing I ever did.
Somehow I doubt that.
IDK. If I was advising a young person, I’d suggest waiting a few more years for them to get their shit straight. God only knows how long it will take to them to work all the DEI completely out. Hell, they had active muslim terrorists in the service and wouldn’t fire them. Look at the Fort Hood incident for a reminder.
DC above is not wrong in his advice for hesitation.
As someone who served under the “leadership” of McNamara, I can say with some accuracy that:
LEADERSHIP IS EVERYTHING!
and it takes time to sort all the bad apples out of the barrel.
Just goes to show you young men want to BE men led by men, not be forced to be nice-nice and wear high heels one day a week by some semicunt.
