America is in trouble.
The Millenials and GenZ as write-offs.
Yes, currently only about a quarter of young adults in the USA are considered viable as military recruits.
The big problems are:
1. Overweight
2. Physically Unfit
3. Legal issues (criminal records)
4. Mental Health issues
5. Medical issues.
However, let me point out what would happen should (when) we face a REAL large scale conflict.
Numbers 1 & 2 will not make you un-draftable. You will still get inducted into the service. Your basic training will be a living hell, and you will be put into "special" basic training that will starve you and get you in shape. It will take longer than the regular basic training going on now, but if the military has to put you in a cage to starve you back to normal weight and force you through endurance/fitness training, it will do it. (I am obviously exaggerating here, but not by much).
Number 3 will become much less of an issue. Misdemeanors will be ignored, and Felons (depending on the actual crime) would be put into some jobs where they are probably unarmed. For example, I can't see that bribery (or other non-violent felony offenses) would keep you from getting drafted. Such people may be barred from promotion, but could get past that based on actual performance. Also, penal units for violent offenders are not out of the question, though the USA has not had to do that before (The Dirty Dozen is fiction after all).
Number 4 will also be less of an issue. Right now ADHD and Depression prevents military service. I think this is WAY over diagnosed, and is more of a home discipline issue. The military knows how to fix this. It always has. Nobody is going to get out of being drafted because of ADHD or Depression.
Number 5 does have some grey areas. I think a peanut allergy (or any others where you stop breathing or have a seizure or require an epi pen) would still get you disqualified. As would heart issues or digestive tract disorders (like Crohn's) or really any serious medical issue. Otherwise you are going. Dental issues may prevent people getting in right now (the average state of dental health in young people is appalling), but the military will end up pulling teeth and issuing dentures (they did this in WW2)
Disney, one of America's largest corporations, has a polciy of not hiring white males. This anti-white male policy is not unique.
WHY should white males fight and kill for America?
Question from the peanut gallery...Why should I fight for a country that hates me and denies me a future? I have no future in America. NONE.
If Russia and China were liberal democracies, millions of white Americans would move there and energize those countries. Unfortunately, China and Russia are corrupt and backward dictatorships, hellholes. I've been to both, and they are both horrid.
I don't thinks whites have any options left. We have come to the end of the line. And liberals among us are cheerleading our destruction.
If I am only good for cannon fodder, I say, no way. No way will I join the the army. Recruitment is down 40% even with waivers for morbid obesity, low IQs, criminal records, and mental health issues, and they STILL CAN'T fill the ranks.
Please, note: low IQ recruits cannot operate modern weapon systems. They can't conduct complex combat opeartions. They can't fly high tech jets.
This is not 1016, 1941, or even 2001. America is no longer that American. We have been flooded with people who do not consider themselves American and are only here to milk the system and live off the fat of land.
I have fought in two wars, two! Infantry. It's terrible. Only my belief in what I was doing was right sustained me. Not money, not adventure, the beliefs that I was willing to kill and die for sustained me. I no longer feel that about my country. I did not abandon my country. My country abandoned me.
I do not hate America.
America hates me.
