Cool, that first part was just an insult.
“Fill out”
Actually, recruiting has surged since the election.
Turns out the kind of folks who are willing to join the military want to join the military, not a fat camp.
And yes, we’ve been begging to get back to real standards for years.
Didn’t read the article, huh?
That’s the problem.
Great article, written by a anti-Trump leftist, for other leftists, on what went wrong regarding the working class support, but getting leftists to read it is damn near impossible.
“Gotcha”
Nope, just wanted to make sure we agree that the folks talking about Trump needing to be in good physical shape as CiC are silly.
“Mental”
Sure but that’s not a military standard. Theres no mental PT test.
“Leading by example”
That’s in the military, like how Milley should have. Civilian leadership physical fitness doesn’t matter.
“NG”
And if they fall out of those standards, or can’t meet the current standards, can be kicked out.
We all know this, it’s not new and it’s entirely appropriate. If anything, this is long overdue.
Nope, but apparently you think every medical restriction for the military is bigotry?
Cool, so you’re a bot. Reported as such.
“Do need to be fit”
So FDR was fit in his wheelchair when he won WWII?
Seriously, military leadership and civilian are wildly different.
“Optics”
It’s standards and discipline, not optics. Can’t meet the standard, tough shit.
Are you stuck in an loop?
So you’re just conceding that you have no argument.
Ok, deal.
“Against their own self interest.”
As true now as when it was written.
Yeah, it’s a real shocker why the working class wants nothing to do with the moment left. There’s nothing more modern leftist than insinuating you know better than the working class.
https://www.vox.com/2016/4/21/11451378/smug-american-liberalism
Yeah, still not an argument.
Again, they are two different missions and I can’t believe you don’t know that.
Cool? Nothing I said was incorrect.
There are realities of combat and the military that preclude people from service, for all sorts of reasons.
Nope, military and immigration enforcement.
The idea that the CiC needs to be physically fit to do the job.
And why’s that?
For what exactly?
And why would you want to get someone banned just because you don’t agree with their opinion?
Thanks for proving my point in real time.
“Press are not military personnel”
Correct and I’ve never said otherwise.
Nope, but thanks for proving my point.
Nope, there are a shit ton of reasons you can be denied military service.
Flat feet, asthma, depression meds, anxiety meds, scoliosis, etc.
And there’s a good reason for all of that.
And yes, trans individuals are in the same boat.
The military isn’t about fairness or representation of any of that shit.
It’s about killing our enemies and destroying their shit as efficiently as possible while imposing our will.
Ah, so the military is committing treason?
