I'm not saying you're wrong but making claims while not adding anything to back it up in a debate forum is just asking for argument.

If you said there's evidence that enrolment has dropped and recruiters are finding it difficult compared to prior generations, and it had % amounts, you might have something. Oh which could be true. I just did a quick google and it appears recruitment numbers are down in 2022, but it appears to be a qualification issue being attributed to significant obesity issues.... which is sad to think about. https://www.heritage.org/defense/commentary/military-recruiting-faces-its-biggest-challenge-years


"The big news is that the number of Americans qualified to join the military without a waiver continues to plummet. Since 2014, the military has been reporting that because of obesity, adverse criminal history, physical problems, drug use, or lack of a high school degree, only 29% of Americans qualify to join the military without a waiver."


Just making random claims with no evidence though is asking for someone to call you out.

Yeah no.

If an enemy invades our land, then yes. But sign up to go fight overseas for people who don't give a shit about me? No lmao

I live in Norway and i am on disablity benefits... been working for 10 years.. If i see the world turning into a WW3 situation i will report for duty. You know even if i am only fit to kitchen duty, i will do what i can for the army. Or maybe volunteer duty or something. Whatever i am assigned to. It is the most sensible thing to do, isn't it? I mean instead of sitting around at home waiting for the end? If everyone does a little bit, the odds increase that things go our way.

I also predict that in case of such a scenario, it wlil be a drawn-out war that will last for many years. Even if a country capitulates, there will be partizans and guerilla warfare for many many years after that.


What about you?

no matter how corrupt things might be behind the scenes.. one thing is certain. If the western world and Europe lose the war, we're going to be extinct and brainwashed.. living in intern camps.
