China spies are running our government. Biden, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, Sanders, and many more, all work for the CCP and are well paid. America is about to suffer the judgment of God. God always uses another nation to punish a nation He decides to judge. He usually uses a long, slow, weakening process, partly because of His mercy in raising up preachers to prophesy against the nation and warn them to get right with Him first. Americans just won't listen. They prefer to play politics and don't even realize that their vote doesn't even really count. It's so bad that the media and courts are covering up how bad it is. Better get right with God before it is too late. Better call on the Lord Jesus Christ to save your soul from hell and start reading the Bible and find a King James Bible preaching church so you can grounded in truth enough to bear what's coming!

Seems he's always done so quite a bit, and that's why politics wouldn't make him a General. That's okay, as long as integrity intact. I know how that goes through my own family. My uncle was definitely not pro politicians involved with the Army, and what had to do to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Now all about money and draining taxpayers. I have a good memory about everything he ever said to me. Now he has the beginning of Alzheimer's, and he's not happy. I have to find out about them through other family members. My insane aunt has me banned from the family. She's part of the fair weather friends and family proven soon after my divorce. She's never realized how much of an obvious fake she is. She finally pulled off the mask and showed her true colors. She told me that "she wasn't the 24 hours funeral service for me", just because I was going through my post divorce here. THAT'S horrible and cold. That's when I shot back at her, that she was a witch and that I hope she died. My children refuse to see her if she goes to Spain. Proving my ex husband right that my family sucks. Said it to me since we married, but that's hard to take. He wasn't wrong. God reveals the brutal truth.

[@victorbernard1256]

I really think the Colonel is in the Kremlin’s payroll. He won’t acknowledge the obvious difficulties. They’ve lost somewhere around 70,000 KIAs in Ukraine. Their troops have extreme moral problems. Hundreds of thousands of people have left Russia to avoid this war. The Colonel says America troops are goi g to go in. I see no evidence that the US will do this. The politics don’t support and Russia is indeed retreating despite the Colonel’s insistence Ukraine has no chance. Thus my conclusion is he is the Kremlin’s man.

I served in the army from 2008 to 2013 as an infantryman and during that time I deployed twice to Afghanistan. The real problems with our military stem from a lack of quality leadership, and the problems in our country stem from a culture of laziness and mediocrity. I got out of the military because of many different reasons but the primary reason stemmed from a lack of understanding about how things are really handled and why on an international level. The American public have basically been living in a delusion about the world and about human nature to a certain extent.

I grew up in South Africa (although I had a Dutch passport) and did my compulsory military service without moans. Our force was incredibly efficient for such a small country against the huge Russian backed terrorists infiltrating through Zambia and Angola. I am not justifying how SA was, but say this to American soldiers and what happened to us. While you are fighting your hearts out in far away places, your own country is being given away to crime, drugs, corrupt politicians, and lies in the media about about military actions and condemn you. Your families are unsafe at home. I read recently that 56% of Americans would not fight for their country if Russia invaded and would flee. My question is to them: where will you go? Africa wont take you, its already owned by China and Russia. Maybe corrupt South America. Europe does not like Americans anymore, they think you have no moral backbone (I live here now and I hear this all the time) plus no one trusts Americans to keep their word. Better start thinking about this as your country starts looking more and more un-American.

Just got off active duty in July, I can tell you that the military is bleeding troops. Rampant toxic leadership and low morale, poor dining and living facilities, poor medical personnel that ignores troops ailments and conditions for the sake of mission "readiness" (atleast in the Army), its all forcing troops to want to leave to pursue better lives. Youd be disgusted if you heard about how many active duty troops commit suicide every year. Id say just under half of the total force didnt want to get the vaccine but was forced to or they would get kicked out of service (atleast thats what the number was at my base). The recent ad campaigns and Afghanistan are making recruiters jobs very difficult to replace those leaving, I got reached out to by the local recruitment office to help them recruit because they apparently haven't met their quota in over 6 months. Doesn't help that the military's mindset is taking a more progressive turn instead of recognizing what its job and mission actually is and who the vast majority of the people willing to do that mission actually are, its focusing its resources on appealing minority groups of society (not talking about skin color here). They cant find new people to replace all the ones leaving and in about 5 to 10 years numbers are gonna be in the red if things dont change.

I retired as a First Sergeant after 28 years, I stayed as long as I could. The Army is not the same as when I entered during the Cold War. Everything he stated is factual. There is no focus on warfighting or strategic operational planning. It's nothing but social programming, most of our mid career NCOs and Captains were forced out during Obamas term. It was incredible to see fully capable leaders get their walking papers. In order to support that European theater remember we stopped REFORGER decades ago and drastically reduced our footprint in Europe. Not good folks. And the replacements if something does happen, who will they be because the government is not inspiring enough people to want to support them in any military endeavors. In my humble opinion.

[@alecbaldwin8021]

I got out after a few years bc the leadership was sht and nation building is just the military industry's way of proving its technology and experiencing its NCOs in the event that a real war, like ww2, comes up. now, to be fair, in the real world which neither you nor any career military know a dam thing about, 100% guarantee, there are leaders in every job, and rarely is it "good" leadership. nor is it any less frustrating, bc as I recall from how lax training and warfighting was, people care more about their money than their actual lives. so, poor leadership in the real actual private marketplace world is more stressful than the fake "free life" military world. thanks for serving your military industrial complex and getting a free, worry free life for you and your family, where reality, personal industry and ingenuity and accountability never really mattered. military: fake, deserving of zero units of obligatory respect you want respect? get a real job. losers, the lot of you.

My story is a bit unusual. For various reasons I could not get into the Christian ministry professionally, so I joined the Army in 1980, and they sent me to DLIFLC to study the Russian language and then to Germany. My tour in Germany ended in 1984, and I became a bureaucrat in the Reserves, maintaining my status as an active Reservist to keep my civilian job. When I was age 52 in 2004 the Army discharged me, and I started receiving a pension at age 60. God preserved me from ever seeing combat. To an extent I feel as if I owe the military, but they don't seem to "have ears to hear," to use a Biblical phrase. It's very sad; I am tempted to support the Russians, if other NATO nations are in as bad shape as we are.

I also had a 17 year Marine tell me he was not going to re up to finish his 20 because it just wasn’t worth dealing with spoiled brats. He said they don’t follow instructions, they don’t follow orders, they get to hold up stress cards when they get pressed and their NCO’s have to back off. He said he just couldn’t do it anymore and felt sorry for the men he was training because they will not be ready when sent to the battlefield. So, when his last enlistment was up he told his commanding officer to take a flying leap and he could do it. I agree, our military is in trouble.
