There ya go. Put your kids in a ministry program.
who, by reason of
religious training and belief, is conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any
form. As used in this subsection, the term ''religious training and belief'' does not
include essentially political, sociological, or philosophical views, or a merely
personal moral code.
No idea what this is supposed to mean. How do you 'prove' you won't fight??
Anyway, I think the main point of this is to draft illegals. And... is probably the real reason they let them all in.

The US Navy will no longer be protecting global maritime trade for the first time since 1945.
Fed boy has the story, and the official narrative. Everyone here is smart enough to draw their own conclusions

Yeah, don't blame you.
I was having a conversation with an old officer I served with for years on this subject. He said he is expecting old farts like me to get thrust back into service under the 'Retired Recall' policy. Which I'm not familiar with. I argued against that kind of thing out of common sense, but he made me consider it as a real possibility.

Did we all hear about the US Navy electronic warfare aircraft in Hawaii that over shot the runway and ended up in the ocean ? And did you see the crew of that aircraft ?

Ukraine seems to be the test case for this. Hauling 40+ year-olds off the street.

I heard about it when a friend of mine got called back in, he left the military two years ago instead of re-upping like he was going to originally, he didn't want to deal with the COVID shot. He said that It is in the contract that they can call back retired military for up to 5 years (in theory). I think they are trying to see if they can abuse that... just pray Trump gets elected otherwise the DNC are going to attempt to force people into service.
Ashish Vazirani, DoD Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, suggested the following things were to blame:
> A strong economy, which has resulted in many more options for young people. (the economy is terrible, people should be flocking to the services)
> A smaller eligible population. (strange that this only became a problem under Biden)
> Generation Z, the generation born from 1997 to 2012, generally has a low trust in institutions. (I wonder why!)
> Generation Z has decreasingly followed traditional life and career paths. (maybe because nobody wants to actually hire entry-level workers any more, which you think would logically lead people into the military?)
> Young people have fewer family members who served, which decreases the propensity to serve. (for the first time, large numbers of veterans are discouraging their family members from joining for basically political reasons)
He also suggested the following benefits of military service in the modern day and age:
> Competitive pay and benefits (current annual salary for an E-3 with <2 years in is $27,108 before taxes, and you're working 11-hour days and living in the barracks)
> Career training (you will need to retrain for the civilian job market when you get out)
> A meaningful and motivating mission (sticking fingers in the dike of an imploding empire that doesn't benefit you or your family in the slightest)
