Current year US military is hilarious
So, the US lit off a Minuteman-3 recently. This system, with origins in the 1950s, is the land-based part of the US nuclear deterrence triad. The test didn’t go well; it blew up right after launch, probably from rotten capacitors. The google machine tells me this isn’t an isolated incident; the last time we tried lighting one off, the same thing happened. We do have a sea based ballistic missile deterrent in the Trident-2. The US hasn’t had any problems with them yet. The British have, and they draw from a shared pool with the US. The other arm of the triad is the B-2 and B-52; the B-2 can’t fly when it’s raining, and the latter dates from 1952. There are plenty of nuclear tipped cruise missiles; fortunately most of those were designed in the 70s and 80s when America still mostly had its shit together.
Unfortunately none of the American cruise missiles are particularly long range or stealthy (there was a stealthy one, retired), all are subsonic, and they have shorter ranges than the Russian gizmos, which also come in supersonic and hypersonic varieties. Rooskies also have newer generations of ballistic missiles, and are really good at shooting down cruise missiles, so there’s that. Supposedly they also have nuclear tidal wave torpedoes capable of wiping out US coastal areas in radioactive sea water, SLAM hypersonic nuclear ramjet cruise missiles and who knows what else. Pretty obvious who wins a nuclear war scenario: it won’t be the US. I mean, nobody wins a nuclear war, but the days of US supremacy or even basic competence with maintaining nuclear forces are long over.

As for the Army, 77% of military aged kids are ineligible because they’re too fat, too mentally ill or too retarded. And the standards are considerably more lax than in yesteryear when the Army could still fight some semblance of a ground war without full air superiority. People who have their shit together enough to pass the Army’s standards are mostly finding other things to do. Patriotism also isn’t taught in schools much any more, and at this point, I actually agree with this: America is fucked up and whatever there was to be proud of is gone. The Army are offering special benefits so more people train for the hellish duty of telling family members their soldier relations are dead, presumably because they’re foreseeing lots of casualties in the next few years. People with long family military traditions are advising their sons to not enlist. The Army is considering reinstating the Draft. They’re so desperate for qualified useful personnel they stopped making advertisements featuring lesbian mommies, and they’re starting to make ads so lily white the Waffen SS would approve. There’s talk of making girlbosses register for the draft; it almost got out of committee. Ominous signs for certain. I’d almost enjoy the spectacle of delusional American womanhood being forced to join the Army, except I like my young female relatives.

Looks like the Deep State is preparing for a military confrontation with China, and happily for them, even Biden hating Trumpen proles and other Stupid Party voters are all for it … I guess there might be one or two Televangelical Israel First Boomer Vet anons around but if one think military age anons I wonder if anyone could pass the Army PsychEval or physical, even if the Army wouldn't be doing background checks for potential domestic terrorism connections, think Pepe, Kekistan, Qanon, lol
