Yeah but that's one of there lil Q catch phrases they all ways repeat "The military was the only way". Plus Q is bullshit larp by the cia to paint all trump supporters conspiracy wackos.
Yep, today’s military isn’t the military you think it is, most of the soldiers have been brainwashed from a early age to feel guilty of America and their race and most are only there for the money not love of country.
I like to offer my perspective whenever these threads pop up. Hope nobody minds again.
The issue with the military is structural, an inherent flaw within the way the officer corps works that almost guarantees certain behavior.
Officers have a hard time leaving the service. Remember, the military’s not a job, but a way of life. It’s own culture, it’s own little world. The longer you’re there, the more “institutionalized” you become. The longer you’re there, the harder it is to make the transition to civilian life.
This is true of the enlisted corps too, but unlike officers, they aren’t (usually) in senior leadership positions practically from day one. The average O-1 has more responsibility than many people with 10+ years experience in their civilian career field. Yes, it is that stark. You are taught from day one not how to perform technical tasks, but how to be in charge of people, situations, crises, large projects, and so on. And what job-specific skills you do gain are usually very specific to the military.
So what does this mean? It means that for most officers, they have to either start over in a career when they separate/retire, or take a job that’s almost identical to what they were doing. This is tough after the 4-5 year commissioning commitment. After 10, it’s almost impossible.
For colonels or generals, this usually means that their only options upon retirement are in defense contracting, think tanks, or other stuff like that.
Now, everyone in the military loathes military contracting. Like full on hates that system. But at the same time, most people know it’s their best chance of employment after they leave. Defense contractors have shareholders to answer to, of course, but they’re also former military and still have some mental allegiances to some of the ideas/ideals. Not just the oath of office, but some of the ideas they spent 20 years believing we were fighting for.
So there are all these weird incestuous relationships that form. And a lot of things get justified or rationalized away that probably shouldn’t.
You also can’t discount the reality that generals are all appointed by Congress and that makes them all politicians by necessity.
ITS OVER. don't encourage your kids to join the military unless you dislike them.
Fact Check = True.
We need to wake up chesty puller
Look, you're not going to get that comfortable $200,000 a year board position if you make waves.
Every general will tell you patriotism is great and all but if a few eagles have to be plucked to feather their nest, they'll give the order.
But Q dude!! The military was the only way!

Yeah I mean I hope your right! Honestly I've unplugged from it all this past month. It all started making my head hurt to much.
That is even scarier than the things I’ve heard previously!

It’s more about the brass, all the flag officers were purged for dick sucking communists under Obama. Almost 300 I believe

This perspective needs to be offered more often.
Trump's biggest mistake was handing over the military.
They rule USA.
