If you have a significant dental issue, you can't deploy, which is why some soldiers get teeth pulled before deployment. However, we now allow individuals transitioning genders to serve, which can make them non-deployable due to medical dependencies. This creates challenges in training and deployment. There's also a narrative that the military is systemically racist, but studies show extremism is much lower in the military compared to society. Leaders like Mark Milley have perpetuated this narrative for political reasons, despite knowing the truth. The military has historically addressed racism effectively, and recent initiatives aimed at combating extremism have introduced more division rather than solving the problem. Those in the military understand that racism is not a significant issue within their ranks.

It's surprising to see young straight white men supporting Donald Trump, given how detrimental a Trump victory could be for them. If you care about the women in your life, remember that Trump is against their reproductive rights and Republicans recently voted against protecting access to contraception. If you work in manufacturing, Trump has outsourced more jobs than Obama, while Biden is currently fostering a manufacturing boom. If inflation and gas prices are your concerns, remember that these issues stem from the global pandemic, not Biden. In fact, we're drilling more oil now, and inflation is decreasing. Supporting Trump doesn't represent strength; true honor lies in advocating for those whose voices are often overlooked.

Do you consider yourself a feminist? Yes. Should women be drafted in a war? No, I don’t have a strong opinion on it. If it happens, it happens. I don’t think drafting women would significantly impact the war effort. Isn’t that a sexist view? It’s about physical capability. If a woman wants to fight, she should be able to, but I don’t support forced enlistment. For those who identify as feminists, do you see a contradiction in wanting equality while being okay with men being sent to fight? How do you reconcile that? Some seem to want equality only when it benefits women.

I was an F-15 pilot and a commander in the newly created U.S. Space Force. I was fired and lost my pension for criticizing DEI trainings in the military, which I believe are divisive. Thank you for acknowledging the issue with woke generals. I propose establishing a special task force to prevent such ideologies from returning to the Defense Department. I appreciate your willingness to put me on that task force.

President Trump, it's an honor to be here with you. Thank you for your sacrifice and for standing up for the people of this country. You had a comfortable life, but you chose to fight for us. It's not fair, but it's still ongoing.

I'm a straight white guy from Mississippi, but that doesn't define my capability to serve in the military. Harvey Milk, a navy diver, was discharged for being gay, and we lost valuable talent because of that. Now, transgender service members face similar exclusion. No one should be barred from defending this country for being who they are, nor should anyone have to hide their identity to serve. You face discrimination that I can't fully understand, but I recognize you as true patriots.

You're reaching deep within yourself, discovering strengths you never knew you had. The training in the army is challenging, but it prepares you for greatness. Being part of the army feels special, and you can gain valuable skills. For instance, the army offers training in computer programming, operation, and repair. Understanding how components like disc drives and printers work is essential. The skills you learn are lifelong, and you won't be the only tech expert in your family. From microchip circuitry to laser technology, the army is the largest institution for high-tech skills and science training.

The speaker claims the military is controversial because it is over the target and that President Trump inherited a demoralized military that couldn't recruit. Since Trump's election, there has been a recruiting renaissance across all branches, with waiting lists for police and fire departments as well. Retention is up because service members now have a real commander in chief. The military is reinforcing standards, welcoming back those forced out by COVID mandates, and removing wokeness, DEI, and trans policies. Fort Benning and Fort Bragg are back to normal. The speaker states they are rebuilding the military, reassuring allies, and deterring enemies. They found nearly $6 billion in savings to reinvest, including $50 billion from the Biden administration's climate-focused initiatives. The speaker says they aim to wisely spend the first trillion-dollar budget on warfighters. They claim to have achieved 100% operational control of the border, with 11,000 troops now able to detain illegals and hand them over to CBP. NATO allies are stepping up, the Houthis are feeling American power, and they are deterring communist China. The speaker believes they are making the military great again due to President Trump's leadership.

Leading military personnel has been a rewarding experience. In combat and training, I've learned that political beliefs vary widely among service members, but those differences don't affect how I lead or the missions we undertake. Politics should not influence our capabilities on the battlefield. President Trump has emphasized the importance of focusing on warfighting effectiveness and maintaining high standards. Our priority is to ensure that our men and women in uniform have everything they need to succeed, free from political interference. I am committed to fostering this principle within our units.

How many genders are there? Two. What is the diameter of an M4A1 rifle round? It's 5.56. How many push-ups can you do? I did 5 sets of 47 this morning. What's the most important strategic base? Guam is significant. How many rounds fit in an M4 magazine? Standard is 30. What does the M9 Beretta fire? A 9 millimeter. What batteries for night vision goggles? Duracell. Your qualifications show you understand the battlefield. Decisions made here can lead to the deaths of young Americans, often from lower middle-income families. When they join the military, they do so for various reasons, and when mistakes happen, they don’t come home. My priority is ensuring you support the warfighters. That’s what matters most to me, and you have my support despite the process.

General, do we have too many white officers in the Air Force? Your memo from August indicates a desire to reduce white officers by about 9%. How did you determine that 67.5% of officers should be white, 13% Black, 10% Asian, 1.5% American Indian/Native Alaskan, 1% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and 15% Hispanic/Latino? These numbers seem to suggest an obsession with race-based politics in the military. Are these percentages based on the demographics of the nation? Did you contemplate overall force percentages? We looked at providing opportunities for anybody who wants to serve. If that were the aim of the memo, I wouldn't be asking these questions. But the memo suggests there are too many white officers.

You're pushing conscripts to the front lines due to manpower issues. Instead, you should appreciate the president's efforts to get involved. Have you even visited Ukraine to understand the problems we face? I've been there, unlike you, who has only visited once. I've been there multiple times actually.

Are you a lawyer? Yes, I am. You would make a great Attorney General because of your strong moral values. Honestly, I would feel more secure with you leading the FBI, CIA, and even the military. Should we consider this idea? It's worth thinking about, especially as we aim to support Vice President Harris's election. We're putting this out into the universe and manifesting our goals.

Canada’s armed forces are facing a recruitment challenge as fewer young people are willing to enlist, according to a recent audit. The CBC's Deanna Sumanac Johnson examines how the military is attempting to boost enlistment and retention. Adam Yo, in his last year of study in the University of Waterloo’s math program, is considering a career in the military after his cadet days. He believes Canada will become more geopolitically relevant due to its natural resources and strategic interests, and he would like to be part of that vision. The federal government is backing this effort with a substantial investment—an appropriation of 20.4 billion dollars intended to strengthen the Canadian Armed Forces through retention and recruitment initiatives. Yet public perception among young Canadians toward military service remains complex. In an Angus Reid survey, when asked whether they could foresee an armed conflict that would compel them to volunteer for military service in a combat role, 43 percent of eighteen- to thirty-four-year-olds said yes, compared with 55 percent of those aged fifty-five and older. Experts note that some of the hesitancy stems from misconceptions about the military. A common belief is that all paths lead to combat, whereas in reality there are a wide range of occupations available, nearly as varied as those in civilian life. To address this, military recruiters emphasize appealing to the emotional and experiential aspects of service. They advocate portraying military life as full of adventure and excitement, highlighting opportunities such as field exercises, survival training, and cutting-edge operations. Recruits also stress the importance of visible incentives in attracting young people during economically uncertain times. The current economy features high youth unemployment, and stable pay with the potential for career security becomes a key selling point. One recruit in basic training notes that salary stability is a compelling factor, especially when discussing with peers who are struggling to find jobs after graduation. The message recruiters are promoting is that a military career offers job security and a solid income. In summary, recruiters are pursuing a dual strategy: correcting misconceptions about the breadth of roles available in the armed forces and leveraging the appeal of adventure and security to attract young Canadians. They are operating within an environment of an uncertain economy and rising patriotism, aiming to make military service an attractive and stable option for new graduates and young adults.

I don't want to fight in a war that has nothing to do with us, and most people in the military feel the same. People join the military to improve their lives, not because they want to risk their lives for the country. Many veterans suffer from physical and mental disabilities after serving, and I even know someone who took their own life due to mental issues. So, am I a coward for not wanting that? Don't call me names like "pussy" or "low testosterone" just because I'm not interested in fighting. I'm tall and hairy, and liking men doesn't mean I have low testosterone. Some of you have even slept with men, so stop projecting onto me.

Hi, I'm Captain Josephine Gilbo, a 17-year Army veteran. Are you an Israeli spy? That's a ridiculous question. My allegiance is to the United States, which I have demonstrated through my service. Did I almost give my life for America? Absolutely. I've dedicated my life to this country. Why do you accept donations from Israeli citizens? Israel is a tremendous ally, and I believe in supporting strong partnerships.

Women have served in combat, and when it comes to the battlefield, it doesn't matter who pulls the trigger; the outcome is the same. Our military should be based on standards and merit. Factors like race, gender, or religion are irrelevant. What truly matters is whether individuals meet the required readiness standards. If you do, then you should be able to serve, regardless of your background.

My family is diverse, and I used to believe Trump was racist. After researching, I found he and his supporters are inclusive. Wearing a red hat made me feel free and loved. Thanks to my military dad, I support Trump for a better America with lower inflation and more prosperity. Voting for Trump means putting money in our pockets and food on our kids' plates. Let's make America great again. Thank you.

Mark Cuban's comment about Donald Trump avoiding intelligent women seems to target figures like Kellyanne Conway and Kayleigh McEnany, but there's a deeper implication. Cuban suggests that strong women are defined by figures like Liz Cheney, who advocate for military action without bearing the consequences themselves. Recently, I witnessed the graduation of new soldiers, reflecting on the sacrifices they may face due to the decisions of leaders like Cheney and Kamala Harris. This experience reinforces my support for Trump, as I believe he would work to end wars rather than initiate them.

With all due respect, I find it disrespectful that you've come to the Oval Office to argue this in front of the American media. You're forcing conscripts to the front lines because of manpower issues. You should thank the President for trying to resolve this conflict. During war everyone has problems, even you. You don't feel it now, but you will in the future. We are trying to solve a problem, so don't tell us what we are going to feel, you are in no position to dictate that. You've put yourself in a bad position and are gambling with the lives of millions and potentially World War Three. Have you even said thank you once? You campaigned for the opposition in Pennsylvania in October, offer some appreciation for the United States of America and the President who is trying to save your country.

I wouldn't return to a job in the federal government until some things change. Right now, there's a lack of stability, and the emotional impact on me feels like a betrayal, especially considering the 30% of the federal workforce who have served on active duty. I served my country for eleven years, nine on active duty, with two deployments and time away from my family. I even missed my mom's passing while serving. I was excited to continue serving in my role, but they took it away and blamed it on my performance, despite positive reviews. It feels like my service isn't valued, and they don't care about the impact on me or others like me. To me, it feels inhumane, ignoring our personhood and disrespecting us as human beings and American citizens.

Transgender individuals currently serve in our military and deserve recognition for their contributions. However, there are concerns about integrating transgender women who have not transitioned into female barracks, as it may create discomfort among unit members. We can make accommodations for these individuals while also valuing their unique skills and specialties, especially given the current recruiting challenges. It is essential to focus on what benefits our nation and to welcome those who are willing and able to serve.

My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to you today about the critical role our military may soon play. I urge you to consider this message and discuss it widely. My sign says it all: once the military removes Trump, we must honor them. No veteran left behind, and the best benefits for all. If you have loved ones in the military, please, implore them to do what must be done. They serve the Constitution, not a king. They must remember their oath. If they act, we will build statues in their honor, name our children after them, and provide them with the best veterans' support this nation has ever offered. Who's with me?
