National Guard struggles as troops leave at faster pace
BY PGF2 years, 1 month ago
It’s not only the Guard, as the article goes on to explain. This is all by design. They must purge the ranks of Americans and Patriots first.
Soldiers are leaving the Army National Guard at a faster rate than they are enlisting, fueling concerns that in the coming years units around the country may not meet military requirements for overseas and other deployments.
For individual states, which rely on their Guard members for a wide range of missions, it means some are falling short of their troop totals this year, while others may fare better. But the losses comes as many are facing an active hurricane season, fires in the West and continued demand for units overseas, including combat tours in Syria and training missions in Europe for nations worried about threats from Russia.
According to officials, the number of soldiers retiring or leaving the Guard each month in the past year has exceeded those coming in, for a total annual loss of about 7,500 service members. The problem is a combination of recruiting shortfalls and an increase in the number of soldiers who are opting not to reenlist when their tour is up.
The losses reflect a broader personnel predicament across the U.S. military, as all the armed services struggled this year to meet recruiting goals. And they underscore the need for sweeping reforms in how the military recruits and retains citizen soldiers and airmen who must juggle their regular full-time jobs with their military duties.
The article claims several reasons for poor recruiting and retention numbers but what the propagandists will never tell you is that the purge has now entered the middle and lower enlisted ranks. They’ll be done soon, then, if this Revolution follows typical protocol, well, you know. Sadly some ignorant “conservatives” and naive patriots will call for a draft or rebuilding, not fully grasping that what’s being done here is very real. America isn’t special, and the dirt isn’t magic.

Lemme see: Patriots used to sign up to fight for America. Today too many leaders are fighting against America, including the president and vice president. The Chain of command is now terminally infected with politically correct and Affirmative Action followers. Hard work, honesty, integrity, reliability, leadership potential, and people skills are being replaced with homosexual vulnerability, skin color, and willingness to shoot innocent Americans. Forcing the troops to take the slab jab was a disastrous decision. Those who had the courage to refuse are gone, replaced by suck ups without reasoning ability. Ya wonder why 18 year olds are refusing to have anything to do with the military?

In finance, there is the saying that “bad money drives out the good,” and the effect is no less real when applied to people. This is the tactic being used by the communists to wrest control of the military from traditional Americans. The more they can get the perverse, corrupt and unfit into uniform, the more they will drive out the remaining “old-school” military men, the kind who love this country and win its wars.
And once the last of those kind of Americans are gone, and replaced by ideologically-reliable communist fanatics, the left will have at long last been successful in seizing control of the chief enforcement arm of the state – the armed forces.
Trad-Americans who protest that the LGBTQ types and whatnot can’t defend the nation against its external enemies are correct, but are missing the point: The “new” communist-centric military isn’t being designed to fight the Russians, Chinese or Iranians; it is being designed to use against the American people themselves.
Let’s not kid ourselves: The rot and decay began long ago, and it has accelerated since the 1990s and the Clinton years. Remember “Tail-hook” and how many top-level pilots were forced out of the Navy and Marine Corps simply because a party got out of hand in Las Vegas? A scandal which would not have happened in the first place had the political left not successfully lobbied for women in the combat aviation ranks in the first place.

Couple random thoughts. This is especially sad for the National Guard, an outfit with local franchises that many view as being more righteous than being in the “volunteer me for the next neo-con party” Army. States and their citizens are the losers.
Also in the nothing-good category is that this will escalate (for reasons you stated) because whole families with strong martial traditions (parents, grandparents, uncles, cousins, siblings) are advising their juniors to go a different route. These are painful, sometimes emotionally-charged, conversations around the summer BBQ table on the deck, or around the grad party gatherings, but they are occurring nonetheless.

Now Austin is all in with renaming military bases. Seems to be an automatic no go for many a southern man to sign up.

Georgia@10:48, “A scandal which would not have happened in the first place had the political left not successfully lobbied for women in the combat aviation ranks in the first place.”
This faulty logic reminds me of a TV commercial from the 70’s that basically stated “don’t forget to take your car keys when when exiting your vehicle, don’t HELP A GOOD BOY GO BAD!” “Don’t put women in our proximity cause we’ll just have to molest or rape them.”
There’s no room in the military for trannys, queers, or folks that can’t control themselves.
