Technically the Navy and Marines would. Navy would have the strategic weapons like ICBMs and nuclear armed cruise missiles, as well as the fighter / attack aircraft.

Right. But these again require advanced skills only obtainable via full-time engagement, not some "weekend warrior minutemen" types. Basically proves my point that you can't get away with having a bunch of beer-bellied guys who kinda know how to shoot an AR-15 and not much more as a replacement for real military.

Yes, as you need an active duty force of US Marines and Navy personnel. So yes, they would have to be adequately trained (i.e., A and C schools, etc.) and equipped (i.e., Virginia class submarine with hypersonic missiles, Aegis - equipped destroyers, F-35 fighters, etc).

The national guard militia like Tim Walz are to augment the US Marines in case the USA was invaded.

Alas, they don't give a fuck about their dead. Neither did NV and VC.

Or Stalin (Putin's and Kamila's role model)

One well placed sniper can take out the leaders and demoralize a large armed force.

The notion that the U.S. could possibly help Ukraine directly fight the Russians is a dead letter. Vox ran a long-form, well-sourced story Sunday headlined, “America isn’t ready for another war — because it doesn’t have the troops.” The sub-headline bleakly added, “The US military’s recruiting crisis, explained.”

Of course, the story explained nothing that actually exists in this matrix of reality. To give away the article’s punchline, recruitment figures across all branches of the U.S. military are so bad that Vox floated what it called the “D-word,” meaning the draft.

Vox described what it called “a political horseshoe effect,” meaning that both right-leaning and left-leaning citizens are equally eschewing military service, and “refusing to fight what they call unnecessary, unwinnable wars.” Imagine that.

The article then noted, almost in passing, the “especially sharp decline in enlistments by white men and women.” So weird.

You’ll be disappointed if you go looking in this article for any mention of diversity policies, the effect of vaccine mandates, or the military’s new obsession with promoting atypical sexual preferences in the ranks. Too late:




The article described a ‘recruiting doom loop.’ With force levels at post-WWII lows, service members are being assigned to more and more frequent overseas missions in combat zones, making life in the military generally miserable, resulting in lower recruitment levels, therefore more onerous combat assignments for active-duty soldiers, and so on, and so forth.

It’s become a race to the bottom.

Vox grudgingly admitted that a well-needed draft would be difficult. Not just politically. Americans of prime draft age are fatter and sicker than ever. Fewer than three out of ten American young adults can pass basic health and physical fitness requirements for military service.

But you know what could stop the doom loop? Fewer combat assignments. You know what could reduce combat assignments? Fewer proxy wars. If only we had a presidential candidate whose platform included fewer proxy wars and healthier Americans.

If you know of such a candidate, tell me in the comments.

Of the over 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing the Covid-19 vaccine, only 43 have rejoined the military in the eight months following the repeal. A breakdown of the reenlistment numbers reveals that 19 rejoined the Army, 12 returned to the Marines, while the Navy saw two and Air Force saw one reenlistment. Pilots have been especially reluctant to take the shot because of reports of heart problems that arise as a result of the vaccine, problems that may disqualify them from commanding an aircraft.

Biden hired this drag queen to HELP U.S. military recruitment.

The only way the US military can even begin to recover the trust which was absolutely obliterated by mandating the very dangerous and worse-than-ineffective toxxine is the public hanging of everyone who issued the mandates.

The only exception to hanging should be a commutation to life imprisonment for those who help to get the next higher level hanged, and so on up until we have hanged everyone at the top who issued those satanic orders for the benefit of Pfizer.

In addition, we need a Constitutional amendment to clarify that no one is ever to be compelled to inject anything under any circumstances. Absolute control over your own bloodstream is the most fundamental freedom and must be protected above all else.
