They became obese and became criminals. In the US army there is no one to take

Donald Trump decided it was time to increase the number of soldiers in his native army. Meanwhile, the Americans decided to ramp up their bellies. Now there is no one to go to the army: everyone is too fat. And who is not fat, he is a criminal.

For the next five years, the US authorities have planned an increase in the number of armed forces. Trump's plan, as always, is far from reality: there is no one to recruit.

Brian Bander tells about this in the publication "Politico".

The White House will soon realize that Trump's plans are something that does not correspond to reality in the least. The “harsh truth” is such that almost 3 / 4 Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 years are not suitable for military service. Four main causes: obesity, crime story, drug addiction, lack of education. In short, overweight Americans naturally threaten to destroy Mr. Trump’s entire defense strategy. And these guys are not suitable for recruits at all!

It is time for the Pentagon to get acquainted with the real world and get out of the world of fantasy. Retired Lieutenant General Tom Speer, co-author of the new document of the Heritage Foundation, which deals with conscription, states this as a fact and speaks of a national security crisis. He recalls the rapid growth of obese people in the US (growth is characteristic of the last 10-15 years), the increase in the number of asthmatics, and the increase in crime since school years.

But who will defend America from the Russians and the Chinese? The new military budget provides for an increase in the number of US troops for 25.900 people (until October 2019 of the year). In total, an increase is planned for 56.600 people (by 2023 year).

The report of the Heritage Foundation states that today US military officials "hardly attract a sufficient number of qualified volunteers." And even increased bonuses and other incentives do not solve the issue.

According to US government estimates, 24 million of 34 million people in the age group from 17 to 24 years are “not eligible” to serve in the army. One of the main concerns is the extremely low level of education. The recruit must have at least a certificate of secondary education. Federal statistics show that about 80% of schoolchildren still manage to finish school. But in the army there is no doubt that this data is formal. In practice, young Americans are unable to confirm the simplest skills.

Other causes: crime and drugs. Studies have shown that crime stories have 1 people out of every 10 young people.

But researchers are particularly worried about the number of overweight young people. Here everything is so bad that the army proposes to lower the "standards" for recruits. But what to say: there are already proposals to take into the army young people with a criminal past!

It seems, we note, the Pentagon does not even understand that by recruiting young gangsters, drug addicts and illiterate fat men into the army, it creates future problems for their own safety. More precisely, for the national security of the state. Who can vouch for such a soldier? What will the army become if it begins to fill up the dregs of society? What will the armed forces become if their leadership distributes rifles and machine guns to criminals?

from 325 million, no one to dial? nonsense ... for whom is this nonsense?

[rotmistr60]

out of 325 million, no one to dial? nonsense are ...

If there was a compulsory appeal, then probably there would not be such a problem. And those who count on subsequent benefits (training at a university, etc.) are recruited into the army, or who has nowhere to go. And about overweight, this is not the first time that information has passed from American sources.

I don’t think there really is such a problem. for money, there are always ready to "give their lives for Omega ..."

[nadezhiva]

The male population of the United States is slightly more than 166 million. Well, and the age of 20-29 years, an average of about 12%. Those. with a rough calculation of only about 20 million. Subtract the sick / drug addicts / convicted / religiously stubborn. Everything is not so rosy. By the way, in the United States only obese according to official statistics about 31%. With a criminal record of about 21% (68 million people). 6.7% of the population take illegal drugs (22 million people) and 21% psychotropic substances (70 million people).

If anything, the retired lieutenant general Tom Spirit voiced this concern. Although I heard similar things from our former citizens who now live in the states, only with much worse characteristics of the young generation of Amers.
Z.Y. It would be different if the amers wouldn’t have to look for proxy troops (igilas, an attempt to charge the Kurds, bring Turks and even Israel) to defend their interests.

[dmitriygorshkov]

Well, here is the big question, America uses Israel in its interests, or vice versa.

[yehat]

85% of high school students in the US are overweight.
the army and navy already have about 2.5 million personnel (according to other estimates 4)
The draft age is no more than 5-7 million. And of them have no problems with weight.
about 800 thousand, and this is only one requirement, but there is still citizenship, criminal record, IQ, etc.
Those. with a real recruiting base, a third of the hired contingent already has guaranteed problems with weight.

[Korax71]

In the process, take information a little out of place. At the age of 17 to 24, every fifth person has problems with overweight. and up to 99%. Moreover, they claim small difficulties in recruiting specialists with higher education, but they have it because of falling unemployment. And the article was interpreted as they could. Probably the complexity of the translation. In fact, 4% of people of draft age either did not finish , or they had problems with graduating from school. Yes, and in general, General Bender had such articles almost a year later. And the funny thing is that the numbers do not change.

[yehat]

in the USA, the majority go to the army to pay for their studies in order to break out into the "middle class", or
break out of the existing financial hole go stupidly leave and see life.
therefore, problems with hiring higher education.
there are very few ideological ones (but there are)

Such articles on the "IN"? Sadness, however. Until April 1, it is not soon.

The author is somewhat "does not finish," in my opinion.
And why does the author not mention a large number of "not yet citizens" of the United States serving and wanting to serve in the army? Indeed, in the states it is practiced.
American citizenship through military service. ... A permanent resident (holder of a green card), and not just a full-fledged citizen, can join the US Armed Forces. There are plenty of people who want to, but they are not WASPs.
Yes, and the American infantryman should not be smart, but must be faithful (just like in our country’s leadership, elitists close to the guarantor’s body ).

PS Yes, and the author did not draw conclusions on the branches of service. Ah, this is not unimportant.

[Wedmak]

A permanent resident (green card holder) can also join the US Armed Forces

Yes, but if I’m not mistaken, this person’s career will end in a sergeant (or whoever they have) position, he will not become an officer. As well as not becoming a serviceman of some military branches.

Yes, and the American foot soldier should not be smart

This is another question. They have all the electronics equipment, high robotics. Not a step without GPS. Not smart there is nothing to do there at all, you just look at the infantry equipment. And its wearing is mandatory, otherwise, if anything, they will not give insurance ...

The gon is complete and sucked out of the finger. Non-citizens, as you put it in the army, are only about 2%. And they are all with a Green card. The only thing that distinguishes them from a citizen is they cannot elect, be elected and be sworn in court. Since the age of 14, they killed about 100 people. finish already receive information from sources such as obs

I don’t know how it is now, but in 2001, for example, when I served in the valiant stroybat troops, the daily exercise in 150 push-ups and 300 squats was the norm that was knocked out of recruits in the first 40-50 days, regardless of their obesity or "underweight" ")))

Um, "The harsh truth" is such that almost 3/4 of Americans aged 17 to 24 are not suitable for military service.

This is not critical for them. When was the last time they “participated” in the classic version on earth “honestly”? Probably Vietnam. In the current realities, they drone from drones and throw “tomahawks” with a safety distance, and the main striking force is a teenage operator a la Bradl .. Chelsea Maning at the joystick and monitor There are various deltafors and seals left, but they are not so much needed, a few thousand I’ll collect and put on a diet

[EvilLion]

With crime they took during the years of the Vietnam war, when the choice was either a barracks or a turma.

And so, nothing surprising, a normal person who is able to realize himself as a civilian will not go into the army unnecessarily. The army, in principle, is not subject to market laws, and when the army is really needed, there is the least desire to serve in it.

[nivander]

The American army has never been an elite club, neither conscripted nor contracted. Since the mid-19th century, the American army (ordinary and non-commissioned officers) was 90% staffed by emigrants and was only filled with fattened recruits, criminals and blacks during the wars of which for another half a year fat drove in camps. Well, for example, on June 10, 1861, the 6th New York Volunteer Regiment addressed the fate and Confederate army of Ducs in that same New York City the crime rate decreased by 6 times. But the cadre officers are just a caste and this is the backbone on which the United States Army also dozens

[EvilLion]

Officers in any caste army.

[Molot1979]

If you argue sensibly, then the scum of society is historically the most developed way to replenish a hired army. First, we take our own, and the best ones, then we take everyone in a row, then, as the attractiveness of military service decreases, we lower the standards for recruits, and then we wave our hands and recruit former and not former criminals, plus all sorts of foreign migrants. At least they have everything with physical training and they are decisive enough to kill. And he knows how to read them without any need at all.

What Soros brought to America with its programs is the legalization of light drugs, the simplification of education, and the promotion of the LGBT community. This is indescribable shame.

Well, judging by what the American army is doing in the world, the set of criminals for sadistic drug addicts and other products of an "exceptional" society is quite logical.

my engineering company (1992 Artyomovsky Garrison) 50% blacks (Uzbekistan), 50% former juvenile delinquent pupils of the Gadyach special boarding school and nevertheless a solid 2nd place in the B&P training regiment 1st place -Authority of captain Kostya Sheludchenko 100% blacks of another breed (Caucasian )

[flicker]

This, by the way, is a huge problem, and not only for mattresses, but also for the entire so-called "civilized west", but especially for Amers, since their further world domination is impossible without a power component ... but in fact it doesn’t, there are tanks, airplanes ... but no soldiers. World political processes have reached the point of bifurcation.

[Ivan.A]

It seems, we note, the Pentagon does not even understand that, recruiting young bandits, drug addicts and illiterate fat men into the army, it creates future problems for its own security. More precisely, for the national security of the state.

Exactly. With all the shortcomings, they have a huge mobilization reserve. And one quarter of the fit, this is far from the worst indicator in our time.
Just the author of the article, as a person far from military service, does not understand the essence of the issue.
And clearly not in the know with the problems that they face when drafting in the Russian Army.
Somehow, in the early nineties, on the basis of motivation, “you, pilots, since there is no kerosene and do not fly, then take up another matter,” he delivered a team of recruits from the place of recruitment to the training center. Small, only five people. So, the chief of the local part having examined the replenishment was horrified. And two of the five, whom the military commissariat had called up for, were sent to the commission and written off completely.
There was another conversation with one person, not the last person in the VLK (medical flight commission), so he gave an unpleasant revelation, - With the diagnoses by which we once wrote off the pilots who had already taken place, we are now recruiting young people for training.
Such things, as they say, is it better not to turn to yourself first?
Moreover, with all the problems, the United States can beckon citizenship to attract a sufficient number of sensible foreigners. The Russian Federation does not have such an opportunity.
