Chinese sea power catching up

Not long ago there was a waiting list for the Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard. You could join Marines but probably would not get the job you wanted. Same for Army………..it's no mystery why we're where we are at. And if you pay for everyone's college the GI Bill is no longer an incentive.

Grandson is stationed in the Pacific, he has absolutely HAD IT with all the " new Navy" garbage. Getting out in 3 1/2 years. A plan indeed, cripple and diminish out military.

They learned everything they know from us. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Meanwhile, we politicize our military - it is amazing what the Taliban achieved with a marked lack of diversity.
The Chinese are great planners. The have a 5th column of troops already in the USA. The 10s of thousands of military age men who have crossed the open southern border. Also, why are they allowed to buy large parcels of land near some of our most important military bases here? Their cyber war tech. is also very concerning.
Hear you. My grandson is now in the process of leaving the army.
Just way too much new age BS to put up with!

A high school buddy went into the USAF after graduating...this was during the Vietnam War.
He enlisted for a six-year active duty hitch. He actually intended to be a lifer as he loved the service so much. He spent a year in Southeast Asia...Thailand I believe. He also served in Saudi Arabia when the bases used in Desert Storm were being built.
About four years into his six I saw him and he couldn't wait to get out. He said when the USAF was operating on a war footing things got done and quickly. He said they worked hard on-duty and played hard off-duty.
After the Vietnam War was over and the service went to a peacetime footing everything got so "chick___t" he couldn't stand it and wanted to leave when his enlistment was up.
It looks like when our services should be operating on war footing considering events around the world the powers that be are operating to politically correct and woke "leadership" and are suffering for it.
