The Goat Pen

I'd rather have money and power (and certainly I do, compared to you at least, although that's not saying much) than being broke and weak and the only thing I had to hang my hat on was ineffectually yawlping "Ain't nobody telling me how to think and vote!" The thing is, you have been told, and you've obeyed, you're just too green to see it. And you're still broke and weak...

we are not going to war.

recruitment levels haven't dropped off this bad since the Vietnam war. Its number 1, enrollment is low, dangerously low. Young men who know that they aren't alpha enough to emulate Andrew Tate and can't get laid, they figure, why should they fight for this country? There is nothing in it for them. So, sit in the parent's basement, masturbate to porn, play video games, and smoke weed all day. They are out.

We have had peacetime drafts before. In the 1950s, even after the Korean War ended in 1953, we kept the draft going. And we didn't stop it. So if they reinstitute, it would be that. That said, the quality of our fighting force has never been higher. One-in-twelve young men "flunks out" of boot camp. They just send them home because they can't cut it. And they are getting very strict about IQ testing. There will be no Forest Gumps in the Army anymore, must have an IQ over 85. So because they are super choosey (as they should be) we are very low on numbers.

I suppose they could start all that "Stop Loss" all over again. They did that 10 years ago, just keep doing it.

Only allowing over 85 IQ is super choosey??

well that instantly cuts out over 10% of the population. That is just an intelligence requirement. And then add in the you-can't-be-obese requirement (with our obesity epidemic), and maybe now 20 or even 30% of the younger population is out.

the numbers are, the numbers

I don't, think, you know how, to use, commas...

Even keeping out 40% (although you didn't mention anything about the obesity requirement until now) wouldn't be considered super choosey. But both requirements would suffice in keeping you out...

I never served. It just wasn't my life path. (Typed without commas)

gay fat and stupid gets you in and promoted now. Just ask Rachel Levine

Long enough to keep IB busy for a while.

Head Start is just government funded daycare for never-married-moms to drop their illegitimate thug spawn off so they can go to the casino, get high, and then fuck Chad or Tyrone. They are just government baby sitters. It should be eliminated.

I know John Oliver is scared shitless of Trump being re-elected. He shouldn't be. I am sure that the left will find a way to cheat at the ballot box in November the way they did last time.

The thing is, Biden needs to be fired for insane men to be fired from their jobs running these government agencies. Congress had no authority to fire the insane. Only a change at the White House removes the insane from leading our nation into ruin.

I can't believe you actually watched the whole thing.

(shrugs)

Unlike you, he's funny. I don't agree with his politics, but he is funny. Unlike you, I can hold multiple thoughts in my head at the same time.

Unlike you, I don't give a shit what you think.

Yes you DO give a shit, because you were worried if I was able to get through that whole youtube that you posted specifically for me to read. So, you do care.

So what was your take on that video?

He seems desperate. He has no reason to be but his normal confident self, I didn't see it.

Just my opinion

I have never & will never watch a video IB posts on here. Ever. If I could block him, I would but.....
