Military struggling to meet quota.

I think men not running around in dresses and high heels and wanting to be women cuz of the perks isn't a high bar of being a man.

Unless you aspire to being a lumberjack

 

[LouderVol]

Nobody is saying such ridiculous stuff.

no. but its also very self-aggrandizing to assume yourself as the standard while just the next generation is the problem.

Every subsequent generation becomes a bigger problem. You yourself posted about how we are less manly than our parents and they less than our grandparents. I was agreeing with you and pointing out that it is biting us in the azz.

so where do we need to get to? and give some specifics.

I never said being less manly was a problem. at least on a societal level.

First lets define manly.

Manly to me is someone that can keep his head in a crisis, doesn't need constant confirmation or emotional support, can suck it up and drive on when it's his time to take a bite out the sh^t sandwich that is life and has the basic survival skills to live for at least a week without modern conveniences like grocery stores, power and water. At some point the lack of all of the aforementioned is going to lead to at best loss of our freedom and independence or worst a near extinction.

Again, I thought that was a given. Plus you forgot a small grease stain on the belly.

As the old saying goes and it's been true since time began.

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times”

just like every generation since ever. you aren't as manly as your fathers generation, he wasn't as manly as his father, nor him as his father, so on and so forth.

Lmao. Nice. I have worn a beater every day since at least 9th grade...1992. These days usually gray or black. They got all fancy over time so white isnt the only option anymore. I literally feel naked without one.

Gotta love the “man” bun.

It’s simple …. A great number of men and boys just need to stop being such poons.
They don’t have to be Paul Bunion or Wyatt Earp….. just stop being such momma’s boys.

are these officers being blackmailed, brainwashed, just conforming for their next promotion or what? I dont get it.

They have hitched their wagon to what was a politically correct ideology that assured further promotion for themselves. Hopefully, we have witnessed the death of that ideology and can now weed all these goofy fawks out of the military.

At that rank they are politicians. They didn’t get there by being competent war fighters, they got there by being exceptional politically.

Most of the leaders that proved themselves during Afghanistan & Iraq were forced out in the Obama years and any others left during Biden's covid policies.
