    Is your computer to the right or left of that file cabinet? I'm sure you keep that near by when you are posting.

    What "bold and strong," leadership has Trump exhibited, military-wise? Other than labelling trans soldiers as heinous hinderances to the mission, of course. Is that it? Have all the brave and patriotic wannabe soldiers been holding back from enlisting because of trans-phobia?

    Especially when DOGE cuts the V.A., as it was announced they intend to do.

    The "moochers" in their twisted, Bizarro Communist, Randian narrative.

    All the extra people enlisting are doing so cause they knew the Orange SkidMark was going to cut all their jobs or fire them, so they jumped to employment elsewhere...

    Repeating what I said in Post #12. It's the continuation of a a trend the began under Biden.
    Recruiting for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024:
    The military service concluded fiscal year 2024 in a much improved position compared to this time last year despite a continuously challenging and disinterested recruiting market. At the end of September, the services enlisted just shy of 225,000 new recruits in fiscal year 2024. That's over 25,000 more than fiscal year 2023. Furthermore, the services had a 35 percent increase in contracts written compared to this time last year. USMEPCOM saw a year over year increase of medical exam by 48 percent, and the active components started fiscal year 2025 with a 10 percent larger starting pool or a delayed entry program pool compared to this time last year.

    In case you may have forgotten while it was more fun being a Republican than Democrat in February 2017 that wasn't the case in November 2018 and given that Trump is even more unhinged now than he was eight years the reversal in less than two years from now will be even more dramatic.

    In case you may have forgotten:
    Mid-term elections: Democrats win House in setback for Trump
    Democrats won House popular vote by largest midterm margin since Watergate

    Oh my. Since the military is now opposed to the bogeyman DEI, and wants women and minorities to generally not bother, it will be the young white Roganites who'll be sent on all the new world "adventures" in major conflict areas.

    Be All You Can Be indeed. And should you come back home injured, your V.A. will have been "re-imagined" into an agency that won't support you.
