For the first time the Heritage Foundation’s index of American military strength has ranked us as ‘weak’. The index warns that the Army “remains ‘weak’ in capacity with only 62 percent of the force it should have”. And even the Army has admitted that it has missed its recruiting target by 10,000 personnel which is expected to climb to over 20,000 by the end of the next fiscal year.
As Heritage and the Wall Street Journal note, “From 2005 to 2020, the U.S. fleet grew to 296 warships from 291, while China’s navy grew to 360 from 216.” The Navy however is focused on inclusion and diversity. The situation at the Air Force is much worse with the Heritage report warning that “the munitions stockpile” would probably “not support a peer-level fight that lasted more than a few weeks”. But the Air Force is also focused on diversity and inclusion.
The Navy is rated as very weak in capacity and weak in readiness. The Air Force ranks as very weak due to “problems with pilot production and retention, an extraordinarily small amount of time in the cockpit for pilots, and a fleet of aircraft that continues to age”. The Heritage index warns that “there is little doubt that it would struggle in war with a peer competitor”.
Go read all the bad news. The left, including Team Mumbles and Stumbles apparently is at war on our military as well as everything else that makes America great.
When I served in the US Navy from ’75 to ’81, I had many female, black, Hispanic, Asian, gay and lesbian (in all combinations) coworkers in both the enlisted and officer ranks, and never, NEVER, was any of that a problem for ANYONE that I worked with just so long as you DID YOUR JOB. Nobody cared what sex you were, what race you were, what your sexual preference was, background, accent, what you did in your free time, any of that shit. If you pulled your weight, performed your function well and didn’t make waves, you were fucking golden. You had, deserved and commanded everyone’s respect, period.
The problems seem to have started when some vocal portions of the individual groups demanded that people in the majority race, sex, etc. not only acknowledged whatever sort of minority was present but formally APPROVED of everything to do with that minority. Then when the members of these minority populations gained that recognition and became a protected class of human being, they decided that they no longer needed to pull their weight, they could throw that class membership in everyone’s face and become a drag on the system. If you had a problem with that, then you must have a problem with everyone in that particular class and now you were not only a bigot, but a criminal.
And here we are. We’re at a point where the majority of the actual work is getting done by rurally born, bred and educated, heterosexual, white males and that’s the very population that is being continuously denigrated by society in general to the point that they are now the minority and almost no actual military work is getting done by anyone.
When the SHTF we are so supremely fucked the rest of us aren’t going to have time to say oops before we’re overrun by the enemy.
Thanks assholes (you know who you are).
