Doesn't it get frustrating, knowing the only way to prop up Biden is with a pack of lies?

Potato take.

Macy’s and eBay are ancient relics made for another time that can’t compete in the modern world. That is business.

People understand the Army is a bs and also people are fat. Again, not a sign of the tough economy.

In fact, if the army were meeting their goals, despite being bs, that would indicate a poor economy as it should more people are desperate.


Absolute potato take.

it's a thread about another business closing hundreds of stores and this delusional old libtard is STILL ranting about trump.

These TDS cases will be screeching about Trump even if it means starting WW3 and supporting nuclear war. They would sooner see us all dead than admit they were wrong.

Isn't the Army being unable to fill positions a bullish sign? The military never has a problem recruiting when the economy is bad.

He even admitted to wearing a mask outdoors to visit his parents.

You fkn lefties are directly responsible for allowing COVID to spread at the rate it did for stonewalling a travel ban from COVID hotspots. You lefties are pathetic history revisionist propagandists. Then, oddly enough, Uncle Joe enacted travel bans from Africa for those same reasons just lmao. You lefties are cancer.

most department stores become ghosttowns once joggers become the majority of 'customers'. They don't really buy much, just loiter around because they have nothing better to do that day and look for opportunities to steal. Your average person just stops going there to shop because of the amount of 'diversity'.

Not seeing the issue with this

The cuts, it said, are 'spaces' not 'faces' and the Army will not be asking soldiers to leave the force.

Especially since the goal is to add more troops

While the Army as it's currently structured can have up to 494,000 soldiers, the total number of active-duty soldiers right now is about 445,000. Under the new plan, the goal is to bring in enough troops over the next five years to reach a level of 470,000.

So let me get this straight…they fall awfully SHORT (over 24,000 because there goal was 494K) with recruitment goals which they even state, they wipe that slate clean of those positions (that they CANT FILL) and then turn around and say we will then recruit (or make our NEW Goal 470,000 from the current 445K) So they basically just lowered the recruitment number goal to make it easier because they can't come near the 494K they could have. SO to Cliff it all…ain't no one enrolling. I'm assuming over the next 5 years this administrations plans is to get the Illegals in there to do it after they pry the free phones, places to live, eat, etc from them. I mean what happened to all the experienced soldiers who had to leave of the Vax? DO they get let back in? LOL

I voted for Trump in the mail in ballot last week and also changed from Democrat to Republican after being a staunch Democrat for 30+ years.

The economy sucks.

But if anyone in my area finds out that I voted for Trump I'll get burned at the stake!

And that was after they lowered the bar to let retards and trannies in.

Trial program waives some ASVAB requirements if recruits’ personality tests show they’re highly motivated.

Currently they are 49,000 active soldiers short

So cutting 24,000 currently empty positions related to "counter-insurgency that swelled during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars" seems like a good way to start restructuring while in a short fall, as well as working towards a goal of recruiting and retaining 25,000 more active duty soldiers.

494,000 is the current structure allotment, not necessarily a goal. With advancements in technology I can see this number shrinking

I don't understand why their only selling point is constantly comparing Biden to Trump. According to liberals, Trump is literally the worst president ever. That's your big win? Doing better than 45th place? Congrats, he's the smartest kid with down syndrome.

Went at lunchtime on Monday to buy a suitcase and it was ghosttown ish.
No one to ring it up, unless i went to a different department.
My take is that people don't walk into stores any longer and order almost everything.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and…It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

For some clarity we are talking about the Army in this thread not the military as a whole, but I don't think the restructuring is bad, recruitment tactics yeah that sucks on all fronts.

Don't know if anyone's kid or kids has tried to join lately, one of mine did and it was a massive custerfuk.

Stop lying. You are not a Republican because you are in favor of DEI programming and affirmative action.

Don't know if anyone's kid or kids has tried to join lately, one of mine did and it was a massive custerfuk.
The military as a whole is suffering right now, also, something like 77-81% of 18 year Olds couldn't join, even if they wanted to. That's how pathetic Zoomers are.
