Recruiting is radically down in the military. Army 10,000, Navy 6,000, Air Force 10,000. Marines and Space Force not so bad. Only 23% of youth can qualify to serve for several reason. Interest in joining is way down (USA Facts, Nov 7, 2023). Our armed forces and entirely voluntary since the draft ended in 1973. Can you imagine what the reaction will be if the draft is re-instituted and include both men and women? Citizens and non-citizens?
“Certainly, he is about Donald Trump, that’s what people over and over told me. Of course, Biden was horrified by Trump’s actions during the 2016 campaign and during his presidency, but in his post-presidency, even more so. The way Trump has treated these criminal trials, what we have heard from him about E. Jean Carroll, everything connected to the insurrection, the warm words for [Vladimir] Putin after the invasion. You know, praising Hezbollah for being smart — over and over and over.”
“Biden just feels that Trump is unfit for office, and I’m told his pure loathing for the person — not just the politician, but the person of Donald Trump — has only grown,” Lemire added.
One of the first rules of war is to know your enemies (Sun-tzu). So, WHY are the Houthis and by connection, Iran, targeting Americans? (Hint: the US has supported Israel in its actions in Gaza.)
Another rule: what will the consequences be of the retribution?
Your hero, TFG, calls them losers and wonders why he needs to visit veteran ceremonies.
AP: "DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. (AP) — Standing solemnly under gray skies, President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden joined grieving families at Dover Air Force Base on Friday to witness the return of three American service members killed in last weekend’s drone attack in Jordan.
It’s a ritual honoring fallen troops that is one of a commander-in-chief’ s most somber duties."

People who want a job can find one. Joining the military is a dangerous job.
If we want more soldiers, we may need to consider paying them more.
