I know this is a tough question, and I am a marine instead of an Army vet...but here goes: "How many GUYS pass the exam?"

I ask this because, now in my 60's, I (still) teach a form of combat karate. Last Saturday I attended an "away" class which included 5 of my fellow geezers (30's-70's) and three ranks of beginners-through intermediates of all ages from 11 up.

At the lunch all of us geezers went to afterward, the topic of "today's kids" came up. They cannot do push-ups at ALL when they start. At a point when we were (decades ago) at their level, we were able to do 10 "corrective" push-ups on our KNUCKLES pretty much ON DEMAND (whenever we hosed up something for the third time after being corrected twice. This inability includes the young men...not just the women.

THEN (and I won't e-ven) go to active duty...the topic of "making pain our friend" came up. Same status, different issue. I guess it's part of the push-up thing...two-knuckle pushups were NEVER without pain. Yet I have a young student who recently stated he wants to go SOC. I pointedly pulled him aside and explained he needs to step up his game. Not so much to achieve "this or that belt" before he goes SOC, but he needs to learn to accept and deal with pain, "on the move."

So when we say 84% of WOMEN don't pass an Army Combat test, how many of todays soy-boi GUYS pass it on their first try?

Do I want women in combat roles? Let me get back to you on that.

As Ross Perot said, "If you see a snake, you don't form a committee, you KILL IT!" While I loved that guy, voting for him was transformative in my life-attitude. I'd read Sun-tsu, but never understood it until WJC took America down this rat-hole.

Well, my guess is that Blacks...see the writing on the Demokrat wall. That is, the Demokratz lie, and the BLACKS get left holding the bag. "[...whatever a Demokrat sez...] -ain't dat RIGHT, Mr. Fetchit??" Well, it'd piss ME off, so why shouldn't it piss off blacks?

They cannot be ignored....and yet...they ARE being ignored. Wishful thinking inhabits 9 out of 10 skulls. Of 100 people, 10 will follow ONLY LEGAL ORDERS to bring fire on human beings. Of those 100...only ONE will act of his own initiative to do the same...when the need to do so is clear.

...so the numbers, folks...are in favor of those who TAKE THE INITIATIVE. Joe is taking the initiative...he SAYS so. His predecessor (BHO) established "occupy," from which ranks were the ANTIFA & BLM operators picked.

...there's been one CLEAR instance of a (during Biden's administration) red flag rehearsal: https://montanadailygazette.com/2021/03/15/feds-confiscate-guns-in-flathead-valley-with-30-vehicles-three-tanks-and-helicopter/

...but SLEEP ON, folks...all is well. Your cradle won't fall.

...I'm wondering just what Church, in today's America, would not excommunicate him for such "hate speech."

Seriously. A close friend of mine is being crowded out of a karate school in a small town because he "teaches violence." You guessed it, it's a small-town church action. They first sued him, and were unable to shut him down. Court ruled in his favor...that was some years ago. NOW, they're offering to pay the town higher rent than his students can afford to "share" in the form of higher monthly fees.

He is already giving the town every dime he takes in, and teaches just to get the kids off the street. Apparently the church feels they can get these kids off the streets BETTER than he's been doing.

43 years ago, my friend was my student. He has long surpassed me, and been a model citizen. Retired fireman with numerous schools, citations and a broken back for his dedication. 30 years ago, I hired him and two others to teach UAC to reserve marines a year and a half before those same marines served in Desert Storm. Yet, in his retirement he tries to "give back" to the community and is railroaded by the local church-folk.

My point? We're no longer in the "manifest destiny" portion of American history, and our Churches have rotted. I'm a church-goer myself, 2 hours away from his school/town. I won't name the church, because I've found they're TYPICAL of the "big-box" churches in America today. A bureaucrat is a bureaucrat, whether he's got his blood-sucking member buried in a Church or a Government office.

My point is more to the effect that the military, once transformed, will no longer be "neutral," but will do the bidding of the lawless ones.

They certainly are. Nice to see at least SOMEONE who comprehends what's in-play...

While we're all busy responding to MSM SQUIRREL calls issued on-order NUMEROUS times per day, the Socialist insekts are drilling DEEPER into the State's governing and military apparatus.

Think I'm wrong? Ask yourself why a 60-day stand-down is underway US MILITARY-WIDE by order of the Pentagon to "root out extreme-ism from the ranks." Sound like installation of Commissariat ministry to YOU?

There is no shame. Were there the least BIT, then...THEN, it'd truly "destroy" the left's narrative. Those SOB's are wrong 99.999% of the time, and they NEVER STFU.

I always wanted a flag pole. 21 years a marine, love America...figured on getting one as soon as I settled down. Finally bought one on 9/11/01.

Now, I simply won't put it back up...unless it's for a RANGE flag. Why? Because every time a FLY gets swatted, I gotta pull Old Glory to half-mast. Our flag spends about ALL its time at half-mast. I have a problem with that.
