This is my theory. The U.S. military started going through shortages during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It got to where the military would take any persons who were considered physically healthy enough to fight. This meant taken anyone, including gang members. In fact, in one of my posts, there is a YouTube video about gangs in the military. The vast majority of people in the military serve with honor, and are not criminals. However, I think the military is taking some people they otherwise would not take because they need bodies. The recruiters also need their numbers to go up.
That's right.

I wonder how many persons might be as angry and unstable as that would-be mass shooter.

They have painted a target on the backs of Whites with falsities and spin. Then wonder why they're not enlisting. Ignorant, irresponsible, and shameful.

My father was a marine and I was a marine.

My advice today to my white nephews is no ****ing way!

In my opinion, the military simply does not need this many people.

I actually think at this point, when the US is spending nearly $1 trillion annually on "national security", you have to ask yourself, what the hell for?

If I am in charge, I'd cut the military to 2/3, and increase their pay. I certainly won't beg the internet fatties and mentally ill people to join.

I am willing to bet that we can cut the military budget significantly without endangering ourselves.

They aren't that's why they have considered allowing illegals.
