Victor Davis Hanson: How To Erode The World's Greatest Military
The U.S. Army has met only 40 percent of its 2022 recruiting goals.
In fact, all branches of the military are facing historic resistance to their current recruiting efforts. If some solution is not found quickly, the armed forces will radically shrink or be forced to lower standards—or both.
...The global aftermath {of Afghanistan} was eerie. Russia in a few months thereafter invaded Ukraine. Iran proudly announced it would soon have enough fissionable material to make a nuclear weapon. North Korea resumed its provocative missile launches. China openly talked of storming Taiwan.
The specific examples of unpunished illegal behavior of high ranking officers under the UCMJ by Victor Davis Hanson cites should be sobering to us all.

Correct, it is colloquially known as the "Great Purge". High ranking officers who weren't on-board with leftist ideology were sidelined and forced out while those who toed the line were boosted up the chain. Couple that with a generation of senior NCOs (the very youngest Boomers and oldest GenXers) hitting the end of their military careers (20+ years of service) at the same time, and it set the uniformed branches up for the mess we are seeing today.

Victor is a cool guy. Very smart.
Obama and Xiden have made America into a different place. They have been very successful.
I only hope they have awakened a sleeping giant.
November will tell. Please vote your world depends on it.
