They really shouldn't want disgruntled millennials. I would be a truly catastrophic draftee, and not because I'd be incompetent.

Remember, when in doubt pull pin and throw at nearest officers tent.

Could be hearsay, but I saw someone say even mentioning knowing what Fragging is during your interview is enough to get you disqualified.

Can’t the US government and their enablers just calm down about waging wars? They’re quite literally one of the biggest issues of this world, and they think that they’re not the problem…

If they’re that hard up for soldiers I vote we send ICE over to do the fighting for us.

After watching Russian soldiers getting blown to bits by drones for the last 3-4 years, I am good on ever joining the army.

They recruit those gen-z maga true believers focused on looksmaxxing though. Army uniform looks cool. Makes you Chad.

Removing the restrictions seems 10x what raising the age is!

No fucking way I'm ever taking orders from someone who doesn't think for them self.

there is a reason the large majority of a military is generally low 20's. Good luck with squads of thirty somethings.
