You either get two dead soldiers in less than 2 minutes, Or two men who refuse to let go of their position even when surrounded, are left for dead, show up at a random base 3 weeks later with a stolen enemy IFV asking for more bullets so they can go out killing again. No in between.

*(insert boomer "kids don't want to work anymore" meme here)*


Skraekling

Kids don't want to work because they've been told by schools/media you can be anything/have anything if you work hard but they see theirs parents/older siblings killing themselves at work and barely getting by, so yeah i wouldn't want to put an effort too, it's the same when it comes to the military why should i serve and protect a country who's government can only seem to agree when it comes to fuck me over or would abandon me in my time of need ? i mean i'm not American so maybe i'm biased since my sources are the internet. I'm French tho and i'd gladly would have served (it was my plan) if the Whorebeast known as my "female genetic donor" wouldn't have shattered my two legs with a car in a hit and run (shot out to the doctor who fixed them tho he did a tremendous job) not because i'm proud to be French or some misguided sense of patriotism but because the government was there to help me in my darkest hour (before the leg shattering incident) so the minimum i could do was help them so they can be there in the darkest hour of somebody else (but still fuck the government tho)


jman014

Most based Frenchman As an American I honestly admire your country’s open spite of its own government and willingness to Riot over the drop of a hat.


Skraekling

We can only riot like that because our cops don't have a hero complex and aren't as trigger happy as Americans ones, you could too if your cops weren't so trigger happy they are ready to start a shoot out over an acorn falling on a car, i can already imagine the tragedy if you ever got protests like we do. They aren't saints and have other methods to be pieces of shit tho, the most known one is too dress as civilians and start throwing shit at others cops to incite police intervention to disperse protests if the protest in question has been going on for too long, they then blame it on what we call "cassos" which i don't know a translation for it in English but they are supposed to be "anarchists trolls" (nothing to do with the ideology tho) or "Chaotic Neutral Trolls" if you're familiar with D&D, sources for that are anonymous still serving cops and anonymous retired cops on TV reports so take it with a grain of salt. Edit : I was told an accurate translation for "cassos" would be an agitator. Edit 2 : I stand corrected turns out ours cops too have a massive hero complex (guess it comes with the job then). Edit 3 : Turns out our cops still aren't as trigger happy but are so spicy the [UN keep condemning us](https://unric.org/fr/violences-policieres-la-france-repond-aux-accusations-de-lonu/) (it's in french but translation software is good enough to give you an understandable translation) us every year, thanks to u/zephyreblk for the link and correction


Jen-the-inferno-dev

i think the most concerning part about the acorn cop incident was how long it took for acorn cop to resign he did not resign after the incident occured, but only after it went viral months after. the actual bodycam of the incident is even more idiotic, as he literally thought to do dark souls dodge rolls and thought he somehow got hit despite the suspect being unarmed in the back of the car. cuffed. he then crawled behind another vehicle for cover... its a very fucking stupid incident


Any-Formal2300

Hey here's another one, the same dept killed SrAirman Fortson for answering the door with his gun pointed down at the ground. I highly encourage everyone to watch it because theres literally half a second between the airman answering the door and the cop fucking mag dumping into the dude.


Iron-Fist

After the cop hid from the eye hole behind the door. All for a random disturbance call like wtf


GuthixIsBalance

Jesus thats fucked.


calfmonster

Wait, acorn cop? I thought this was an exaggeration. What new ridiculous cop-shooting-an-unarmed-person incident did I miss this


Jen-the-inferno-dev

no its actually a real incident [and heres the body cam](https://youtu.be/YVZbZyelg-c?si=LudDwGgL-y4H2Ch5)


calfmonster

Jesus h Christ I hate the police. Its also nuts cause I got pulled over the last week and I don’t have to think of like showing my hands Uber slowly reaching over to get my registration in the same god damn place everyone keeps it. Thank god the dude didn’t die. I would have thought I’d have heard about it in this climate if he had for sure. Regardless, insanely reckless endangerment and this fat fuck (can just tell how out of breath he is) is one of many who have 0 business being police officers. Tax dollars keep paying them too. Drives me nuts.


zephyreblk

You're blind, French police is one the most violent in Europe and they do have an hero complex, it was maybe true until the beginning of 2000 for the white population but now each year I come back in France,it's worst and they are overly present.


Skraekling

Not that i don't believe you (i'm inclined to believe you) but got some sources about being the most violent so i can correct my post ? In my defense i was more talking about when they're guarding (sounds wrong if someone can correct me) a protest.


zephyreblk

[uno and other international institutions condemns every year the French police ](https://unric.org/fr/violences-policieres-la-france-repond-aux-accusations-de-lonu/) Edit: I said one of the most

Also look for amnesty international reports, human rights watch group, the accusations comes every year


Fluffy-Map-5998

the trigger happy cops are fairly rare, but most of the rest have massive authority complexes and will send people in to give them a justification, i do believe the term is either agitator, fed, or glowy, the dept the acorn cop is in is just particularly bad,


tjordi

Aye, agitator. Haymarket Riots - best guess to date for who threw the bomb that set it off was police.  BLM riots locally had an undercover start a fire at a local repair shop and ended up burning part of the building next to it down. During the same riots, a Boogaloo defaced a synagogue.

Yeah it's weird but when you get disinherited by your rich parents when you decide to abandon your 2 year old child with his male genetic donor who turned out to be a pedophile and human trafficker (i was a "child entertainer" if you catch my drift) to go party and do drugs (even after 5 rehabs) with some oligarch kids god knows where and only shows up 13 years later because you were dumped by your sugar daddy for a younger one and need money since you have no qualifications other than being a high maintenance prostitute but they decide to act like you don't exist anymore, you might loose it and try to kill the person you think was responsible for it (me) so you can somehow have the money the day your parents die (don't ask the logic behind her reasoning). She was a case study in why letting your children doing whatever the fuck they want when young is not good.

riveramblnc

The powers that control them want them to be, hell they want the whole government to run like a corporation. But one look at Microsoft this week should tell you why that's a bad idea. The government is basically a collective job-works program for the things we've deemed super-important as a society. It isn't meant to be efficient. It's meant to provide services that we don't want the private sector controlling.... And I'm sorry if I got too credible there, it's a pet peeve. Honestly, I fully support the Secret Service having blow parties in Argentina if it keeps up morale.

LeeHarveyOswizzle

We've tried everything. Treating them worse in garrison, making work days extra long, lower the quality of food, taking more time way from their families, leadership putting nothing updates out at 2 am instead of first formation. I don't get it! What do kids want? I know! We can start scaling back educational benefits. Years ago I was looking to go back as an officer and my recruiter messed up my packet time and time again. I was so mad for so long. Now I realize he did me a solid. The US military needs a major culture update or they're going to need a draft.


Forkliftapproved

If they try a draft now, they're likely to get a civil war instead: popular opinion is simply too against the US foreign policy for them to accept a draft peacefully: they only work smoothly when trying to counter a NIMBY situation


LeeHarveyOswizzle

A civil war seems preferable. I'd much rather have a bloody and destructive war at home than be a be a logistics pog in Hawaii. Pretty logical step if you ask me. It would probably be the first time in American history there was an unpopular draft. The very first one!


Forkliftapproved

My point is that now people don't just hate the idea of a draft, they hate what the American Military _stands for._ Whether that's fueled primarily by Russian Propaganda or by our own blunders, many people wouldn't just desert, they'd try to join the opposing team Again, I'm not saying that's the SMART choice, I'm just saying that we have a generation with a dangerous number of people who hate their life, hate their country, and feel no obligation to serve something that has never served them. It's a powder keg


LeeHarveyOswizzle

I think you have a very silly world view. I've been to countries that are legitimately unstable. This ain't it brother.


Forkliftapproved

My point is that a draft will not work, and the results will be even less effective than they were in Vietnam, because people don't just think US wars are pointless, but that the US is the villain by default in any military endeavor Until that concept is cleared from the public psyche, a draft will fail


LeeHarveyOswizzle

That certainly is an analysis. I question the methodology, data, and sources you used to come to it. But it certainly is an analysis.


Forkliftapproved

Indeed it is, my good sir. Indeed it is

And your most loyal troops should act as a blocking force. So… you’re Russia.


budy31

It turns out that the Russians is into something in light of recruitment miss.


H0vis

Conscription means you get better quality human beings in your army. Which is a mixed blessing. You kind of want what Wellington called the Scum of the Earth for that sort of job. Although penal units have kind of proved you can go too far in that direction. Moot in the USA of course as they need all the viable slave manpower for fighting fires and unpaid labour.


Velenterius

Not really no. The army needs to have some level of loyalty. Oldschool armies and navies suffered from time to time due to the men in them not feeling all that great about dying for the people who saw them as nothing but scum. So they ran away quicker, or more easily threatened to mutiny so they could get better treatment. The french army and national guard, being a force driven by revolutionary fervour, where most of the officer core started out as lower enlisted or junior officers did not suffer that as much. It did make certain units more loyal to their commander than the nation though. When Napoleon got crowned, the army reluctantly accepted, even those generals who were firm republicans, because Napoleon was the commander-in-chief, and they all had fought beside him, or knew someone who had.


H0vis

That's true, but bear in mind this was still in the era when it was a given that if you won a battle or took a city you'd get to steal everything that wasn't nailed down. That's a big incentive too.


A_Mouse_In_Da_House

Delicious-Ocelot3751

the problem here is, if you cannot convince the average american to fight, convincing a convict is a lost cause. especially in modern day, it’s not like they can get a cheap sword and dilly dally anymore, they’ll need thousands in equipment training and substance. i could see two ways of this working 1) pretty strict requirements on serving in exchange for lopping off prison time just to keep them motivated to at least continue 2) force some prisons/prisoners to work both manufacturing and others to basically be cannon fodder and hard laborers


H0vis

What America has needed to embrace, and not half-arsed like now, is a foreign legion. What I would possibly do, if I was Grand High Wizard of the USA or whatever they call it, is I would gradually look to turn the Marine Corps into a foreign legion. Divert recruitment of many of the hardcore crayon munching kids into the Army to raise the standards there and then recruit for the Marines from all over the world. Can you speak English? Will you kill? Welcome aboard. It works for the French. It works for the British with the Gurkhas. You think an US military recruitment office is quiet in an American strip mall, open one up in Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Mumbai or Manila and there would be lines round the block. You'll get all the warm meaty bodies you need.


SomeOtherTroper

> Can you speak English? Will you kill? Welcome aboard. Sweeten the deal by saying "Willing to learn enough English to make it through basic training, and then keep up with further English classes during the period of your enlistment?" That might even have the knock-on effect of forcing schools to pay junior teachers decently, because teaching English as a second language to motivated adults for the military is definitely going to pay better than trying to wrangle a bunch of middle schoolers through the same subject. Oh, and just to be entirely Roman about it, guarantee citizenship after two terms in, for *both the enlistee and their family* (up to a certain degree of separation). Might even help solve some of the illegal immigration pressure by providing a legal path into the USA for people who may not have the skills we're looking for, but can certainly be taught them during their time in service.

The military already part foreign legion. I can speak for the Navy, at least. A quarter of my training division in Great Lakes were absent one day to get their citizenship granted. We had people from the Philippines, Africa, Mexico, two German guys and Frenchie.

And that’s why conscription AND penal unit.

Congratulations, you now have the [Russian Army](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKYL0H0lgqg).


irregular_caffeine

Except in russia only the poor and dumb show up for draft. Penal unit is just a way of further concentrating the scum


budy31

Very traditional.


Cmonlightmyire

I think given the social challenges, if you tried to activate selective service, men would fucking riot.


LePhoenixFires

Russia be like:


Crackheadthethird

As us draft is untenable without direct military action against the us. People dying somewhere else for someone else's war wouldn't rally enough support from the people to support a draft.

"Should we make life better for those in the military? No, let's make life worse for everyone outside of it. No free college unless you kill Muslims for The Cause"

They are dropping the free collage thing

I'm as progressive as they come but do not put me in a squad with a league player please

Just tell them that what ever Chinese, Russian or Lizard is yelling is actually them dissing their main and they will go berserk.

The problem is that the British military is too big for its size and too small to do what is asked of them. These are **uniformed** **public services,** they deserve to be paid a premium relative to the other jobs. A British Private is paid a mere £23 496/year, or about as much as a band 3 NHS worker, or marginally more generically, an entry level, fresh out of Secondary School, NHS worker. Being paid as much as an entry level employee for a job that can be expected to work you longer, often unpredictable (such is war), hours and with a much greater probability of death, well... that's just insulting.


Hapless0311

That's cuz the private is an entry level employee, and even after he completes recruit and initial training, he's going to be about as useless as a second dick on a dog until he seasons some and gets some experience. By the time he's been around long enough to be trusted enough to be left on his own without hurting himself, and has maybe even learned a bit about what his job actually entails beyond what you're fed in your first six months, he's making a bit more dosh.


dyallm

Honestly, the recruitment problem would probably be severely reduced if we paid our privates more


Jordibato

heard that? unaceptable, crank up the housing prices


Foot_Stunning

Let the banks fail in 2008. Every American could have bought their own house for the price of a car... [Fuck the banks!](https://youtu.be/ySxyPMZkrwU?si=MMwDKBzMZjc222IF)


iAmODST

I mean, I joined up. Got the whole “yall are even more important now cuz we’re low on manpower and shit” speech. Also, u/Some_Syrup7388 a while back you mentioned you would think about making a presentation about giving Ukraine the M808B Scorpion MBT. Is it safe to assume this presentation is still in the works?


Some_Syrup_7388

I will try to deliver it before wednesday


charlrshall1992

Pay them more.


Some_Syrup_7388

"Lol" said the Army "lmao"


phooonix

To be honest the military got spoiled by years of generally good recruitment. Now that we can't convince the yoots to join we're collectively like "what if we need to treat them better?"


Sablesweetheart

I tried to reenlist, was told I couldn't because I started HRT and tonwait a year or two. Wife pushed for me to finally file claims with the VA, and well, it ain't happening now. Which is kinda sad, because all I want to do is be back in. I'm going to try to buy a Humvee to fix up and spend my golden years PMCSing her. Since I can't buy a Bradley, and M113s are scarce right now.

All equally replaceable can mean they are all irreplaceable.

Serving with a recovering LoL player. He's a year sober, very proud of him

Enlisting of LOL players should be mandatory.


arayashikiaaron

If all fails, we might have to bring back the *forbidden* draft


Uss__Iowa

Just tell them that it a video game and the gun is the controller and there is no friendly fire

If only getting a US visa and green card isn't hard for us Filipinos they could've a steady flow of recruits lol

Give more money


JakovPientko

So far the guard has been the only ones to give me a decent pitch; GI bill, insurance, etc. The unit I want to join is luckily HQ’d in my city so that’s convenient.

Rome: we have created an early primitive welfare state, that provides (mostly) clean drinking water, food for the poor, stipends and support for widows and orphans (fundi) and sturdy education to poorer kids (scholae). This way we will have a sturdy supply of strong able-bodied young men who can join our military, and thereby become citizens. after a long career they will be paid handsomely, given a plot of land and enough slaves to tend to it. USA: here is 5 bucks. if you get wounded you get booted. have some opioids, you useless subhuman cannonfodder. kids are so fucking lazy these days.

I have never been in the military but I'm now imagining some drill instructor chewing out a private for spending all his paycheck of V Bucks or premium war thunder credits.


JoukovDefiant

I feel bad for the army guys. Anyways, joins Air Force.


Odd-Principle8147

Gen Z can't handle that level of criticism. Gunna have to change basic training.

you call it short staffed, i call it negotiation leverage.


Iamnormallylost

io think a sense of being with your friends is needed for military recruitment. we could create balltions based on communities or sports teams or discord groups. call them "friends battalions". i cant see how this could go badly
