Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

[Guest]

The core warrior population of America has always been the Scots-Irish of the Appalachian regions, the good ol’ boys of the South, and the farm boys of the Midwest. Hillbillies and rednecks, in other words. Many families from these areas have multi-generational traditions of service. Dad served in Vietnam, Grampa in WWII, Great-Grandpa in the Great War, and Great-Grandpa’s Pappy fought under Lee in the War of Northern Aggression.

Um, that's me, a Citadel graduate from a long line of soldiers, including 27 killed in seven wars. I fought in two. And you know what?

NO ONE in my family will fight in another foreign adventure. Civil war, yes. Foreign war, NO.

Better dead than Wakanda.

Disgraceful. It is hard to believe, but it is now true that being a white man is a disadvantage in our society with this blatant racism. This is on a par with with the signs you used to see decades ago saying no blacks. All racism is wrong, but racism against whites seems to be acceptable in our woke sick society. Where I work you wont get a promotion if you are white. I see it every day.

White men won't join, so they will try to draft us. That won't work either. The war is lost.

I prefer death to the status quo.

They can't draft me into the US army. I don't speak Spanish.

It was reported in this newspaper recently how the US Army has seen a dramatic fall in the number of white recruits, as the Military.com website found that the army fell 10,000 short of its 65,000 enlistment target.

Underpinning this drop was a dramatic decrease in white recruits from 44,042 in 2018, to just 25,070 in 2023, leading to the proportion of white recruits falling from 56.4 per cent of all recruits in 2018, to just 44 per cent.

A few months ago, I said my number one indicator that the world has entered a new dark age is the dramatic reduction of life expectancy in the United States. But this statistic you posted here is very indicative, if not more indicative, than the decline in life expectancy.

How so?

I'll just pick one reason out of about half a dozen I can think of:

Advertising to your enemies that you are unable to recruit from your traditional base of military recruits during a crisis period is about like leaving your gold and silver on the front porch during an economic depression and putting sign on your porch that says "Gold and Silver Here".

Perhaps this is the DEI version of 4D chess?

I look at it as some version of the elites started to become sure of themselves some 35 years ago that they would be able to fight the next war with robots (as well as manning the factories with robots), so they could go ahead and sacrifice the population from which the traditional military recruits come from, as they have always represented a risk to elite domination.
