Those veterans can remember when the military wasn’t FUBAR. From Jack Hellner at americanthinker.com:
The Wall Street Journal published a piece heaping the blame for the military recruitment crisis on those who have served. Yes, you read that right: military veterans are the problem. Not the drag queens, not the anti-white rhetoric and policies of Lloyd Austin, not coerced participation in experimental drug trials, but those who enlisted and served. It is appalling that our media blame low recruitment numbers on people who sacrificed and risked their lives for their country.
The headline and teaser read as follows:
The Military Recruiting Crisis: Even Veterans Don’t Want Their Families to Join
Pentagon scrambles to retain the main pipeline for new service members as disillusioned families steer young people away
Maybe reporter Ben Kesling should have questioned whether current government policies might be causing the problem instead of just repeating the government talking points.
Maybe the veterans look at the disaster at the Kabul airport in August of 2021, and they don’t want their children to report to so many incompetents.
Maybe they’re disillusioned because they gave limbs or lost friends in the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan, only to watch Joe Biden leave people and equipment behind for the benefit of the very forces against which Americans fought.
