The Draft Rears Its Ugly Head

 Next up is an article by Kurt Schlichter entitled You Can Draft This. Over time, Schlichter has presented a warrior code that I agree with. He calls it Jacksonian. What it means is that you don't under any circumstances threaten the use of deadly force. Indeed, you pray never to have to use it. But you are always prepared, and when forced by the other guy, you put him down as quickly and efficiently as you can. It follows from the old Latin saying "Si vis pacem, para bellum, "If you want peace, prepare for war, and it applies to individuals and to nations.

(Hobby horse alert)Unfortunately, todays military is fighting the war of pronouns, and not preparing for war. As a result, their recruiting numbers are way down. And sadly, 70% of our young men are not currently qualified because of physical issues. I know that readership dropped after my post entitled Climate Hoaxers Want to Take Your Steak, but it is true that a lot of the problems kids today are having can be attributed to diet. Seemingly everything is either sugar, or turns to sugar in the digestive system, making them fat and sick. We need to return to a diet of meat and vegetables. Give up the cookies, the cereal, the sugary drinks, the bread and the like. Ok (end hobby horse alert)

Schlichter is pointing out that the reason nobody is volunteering to join the military is that they don't want to be led by porky majors who think they are women, or who cross dress as furry pets. People are not stupid. They realise that these guys believe in nonsense. They are not serious.  But nobody wants to be led by people who believe in nonsense when life and death are at stake.

What to do?

There are some rumblings that I expect to get louder now that our elite is realizing that they have totally alienated the traditional Americans who traditionally make up our Armed Forces, and that they are thinking about the necessity of a draft. The Army War College, of which I am an alum, recently published an article that talks about the casualties you can expect in high intensity warfare – several thousand a week. So, in a few weeks, you’ve got more dead than you had in Afghanistan and Iraq combined over 20 years. Our military, which has shrunk dramatically over the last three decades, simply cannot accept that rate of casualties, especially when it can’t fill its ranks with volunteers anymore. So, the answer is apparently to not rely on volunteers.

Don’t count out establishment pressure for a new draft. After all, it’s not a meat grinder without meat. The bodies have to come from somewhere. There’s no calling guys back to active duty. At the height of the global war on terror about 20 years ago, we had a lot of dudes signing up because they were excited and patriotic and wanted to avenge 9/11. Well, they learned, the hard way that this establishment is not only grossly incompetent but cares nothing for them. When you treat troops like garbage, they know it. And it’s not like you can call them back. Their service obligations are up. Most of them are pushing 40 at the low end. Do you know what you call a 40 year-old infantryman? Sergeant major or colonel. And we’ve got plenty of those. In fact, we have too many.

As usual, Schlichter is cutting in his critique of the woke military. He doesn't pull any punches for any of these disgusting creatures pretending to carry on the traditions of George Washinton, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Chesty Puller, or George Patton. As he points out, none of these guys has won a war in generations. He doesn't blame any veteran for telling his kids not to volunteer. It is, after all, a suicide mission. the services, like everything else need to be cleaned out and we need to start over.

The ridiculous Mark Milley, basically Alexander von Sausage Vindman with more stars, waddled his way up to a podium to retire the other day. He’s a freaking disgrace to the uniform. This is the guy who wanted to know what “white rage” was in front of one audience, but in front of another denied that he knew what woke is. I wonder if they really think their soldiers are stupid enough not to know when they’re being lied to. Well, our troops are not that dumb. And they certainly know when their lives are being squandered, as 13 of them were in Kabul.

It's not a question of patriotism. Our guys are loyal to our country. But our senior leaders, from our Commander-In-Crusty to the newest woke major at Fort Saul Alinsky, are loyal to social justice ideology. They pretend the organization that used to be the most respected institution in American society is still the institution that America once respected. But it isn’t. And they will not guilt us into unseeing that reality. Who wants to serve

in the Great Pronoun War of 2023? Who wants to be forced into taking vaccines that don’t vaccinate? Who wants their commander to have breasts and a penis?

Not anyone normal. They will try to play the service card. That might work better if that service would be protecting our borders instead of Ukraine’s. When one of these hacks asks you to go serve your country, your proper response should be to ask what is the name of the general fired for what happened in Afghanistan. The fact that they can’t answer that question is all the answer you need.

...snip...

Let’s be really clear about what’s going on in the veteran community, because what you hear in the media is a lie. There is almost no one out there who is a veteran who is excited about having his or her kids serve. It is not that we are not supportive of the troops – if they serve, we back them 100%. But we’re not recommending that they do. The fact is that the leadership of this country is unworthy of our troops, and our potential troops are refusing to volunteer. It’s only going to get worse as the military gets woker and the establishment gets more warmongery.

So, of course, the establishment’s answer to young people’s failure to volunteer is to volunteer them. But we all know who’s going to get volunteered. It’s not going to be Kayden and Ashley from Santa Monica. It’s going to be your kids. Right now, 70% of kids cannot join the military because of various physical mental and other qualifications. When there is a draft, they may try and be clever and not have the kind of student deferments that made sure that college kids like Joe Biden never saw action, except in mortal combat with Corn Pop.

Gentle readers are encouraged, as usual, to read the entire article. Schlichter makes a number of great points. But it is part of an overall plan to bring the United States as founded to its knees, impoverish its people, and finally allow the global Marxists to rule over all. It fits in with the previous post too, as we cannot sustain an endless war that does not affect our security.

We need first to pray.  Then we need to harden our minds and bodies.  If we want peace, prepare for war.
