Someone is upset he can't make neglected kids into glorified meatshields for pointless conflicts
Exactly, reddit is saving a lot of people from falling for these politicians oakie doke and joining military.
lol 😂 I don’t watch Forbes often, but this comment made it worth it. Poor kids. Pretty sure this piece of work needs to stop preying upon innocent children and fight his own damn wars, ya know?
As a veteran I am glad they are shielding our kids, stop sending our troops to pointless wars for oil.
As a retired combat vet, if you see an army recruiter turn around & run for the hils🏃♂💨. There's a reason why most don't go pass their 1st contract, there's a reason why less than 10% of soldiers do 20 yrs.
I wonder if the school where this Senator sent his kids to ever saw a recruiter in the first place.
@@Tony.795 you know they don't go to 100k a year boarding schools
The children are smart and do not want to join the forces and get blown up and then become a homeless veteran with PTSD. They see though your lies. Meaningful access: does that mean NLP in action?
The government wastes money all the time. Bunch of hypocrites.
Unconstitutional wars bring are troops home
This is the most predatory conversation we could be having.
The look in Sullivan's eyes says it all. Military recruiters are salesmen, plain and simple. They get paid based on their performance as a recruiter. A good recruiter stays a recruiter instead of being shipped off overseas to partake in some pointless conflict that doesn't advance our national interest.
Kudos to anyone who wishes to sign up for the military, but they need to understand that recruiters are not their friend.
Leave the children alone, and stop targeting the poor children. Nobody wants to risk their lives for wealthy financial interests.
Nah, toxic leadership in the Army. You’re not fighting for American freedom like in the movies. Too political. Go to school. Get a good job.
You can’t own a firearm or purchase tobacco until 21 lol but you can go to the army and get a machine gun at 18 is crazy… Tf 😅
You can vote but not drink either. At one point France had no drinking age. Then they had age 13 for awhile but I think it is like the global marker you belong.
Post to be a all time volunteering Military that mean no ads, no commercials, no in person recruiting at all period. That mean if you are interested we go to a military location to enlisted
Maybe you shouldn't have fired or forced out healthy trained and experienced soldiers because of the clot shot mandate? Sad RIP America
Ohh gee imagine that a campus not wanting their children to be exploited
i heard leaders in ND told servicemen couldn't go to conservative rally. told them it might effect there advancement. i suppose that helps with recruitment ask a democrat
😂 people are seeing the crap enlisted have to deal with and people are seeing that and saying fck that. Moldy barracks, shitty infrastructure, toxic leadership (if your unlucky), you have to fight for disability when you get out, mental health hard to get since you have to either wait a prolonged period of time or are worried it will effect your security clearance, subject to UCMJ after 20 year retirement, shit pay. These are some of the things newer generations are seeing and they have alternatives that sound better to them cause they don’t have to give so much up, if it’s legal in their state they can smoke weed without worry (varies on job requirements), if they can’t stand their the job or their coworkers they can quit or move to a different location.
Military recruiters SHOULDN'T be allowed in schools.
We have a strictly volunteer force. Anyone looking to join the armed forces will seek out a recruitment center. There's no reason for recruiters to be hocking the "benefits" of a military career.
Oh cut the crap i have a bachelor degree in criminal justice and a minor in strategic language with high honors and im still working in a produce department of a supermarket for a year after graduation. Why should i do the meaningless work of lesser people, im preparing joining the army after summer.
@@victormelendez2332 I also have a degree in criminal justice and have worked in that field for several years.
You are 100% free to join the military, but it's not a smart career choice. The cons far outweigh any pros. You'll be serving the political elite class. Your choice, though.
@@EdwardBrown77Thats kinda how the world is, has been and how it will always be, since ancient times.
COVID left the chat 3 years ago..
I work constantly to be the opposite of a recruiter and I do it out of the goodness of my heart no incentive needed. Did my time and I tell kids the truth then strongly advise against any military service.
Pointless conflicts and dying for the rich to have money in their pockets ! No thank you
Recruitment needs to include all women and minority shortlists to address the shocking lack of diversity within the current system.
This is the 21st century.
Obviously: THOSE WHO CHOOSE/WANT to join SHOULD be allowed to join!
Those who CHOOSE/WANT NOT to join should ALSO be allowed not to join!
High schoolers are still KIDS!
Thanks for being part of the team that keeps armed offices from distracting people from education durring essential career studies.
this weak AF admiral 🤣
DEI = didn’t earn it.
Oh no. You can't target kids. Poor you. 😢
A family me claiming me as theirs, currently, as those they pass me, others among. They are by tactic, criminal warlords, victimizing countless, including their own. For anything other than the outcome they desire at all times, be maintained for any reason. Including accomplishments, answered questions, communications, resolutions, popularity, allied actions, associations, earnings, knowledge, as countless other ways. They soullessly attack us, most of the time resulting in death, or worse.
Not from around here are you?
Since most schools are federal funded the recruitment should never be blocked!
Funded with taxpayer dollars. Unless the federal government privately funds education (with money they don't have), then they should have no say in what schools do or don't allow.
No one is above serving their nation. Vast studies show the social mobility that it gives people who dont come from a wealthy background. Everyone should have access and knowledge of what can be offered. If no one serves, you wont have a nation. The argument of what wars we fight, etc, is another issue...not the point. Signed a former Special Operator, combat vet, and Doctor.
There's no nation now. We have no manufacturing base. Our infrastructure is rotting away. Education is garbage.
Corporations that should've failed get billions in taxpayer-funded bailouts without their consent. In return, the populace gets a mismanaged company that unleashes overpriced poor quality products onto the economy.
Not to mention, the average citizen has no say in the country, yet are being forced to conform to the ideals of the government and/or populace.
As an aside, I KNOW that I'll never get to shake hands with VIP'S regardless of serving and/or political affiliation.
Nothing to serve.
If you want my loyalty then you can do something to earn it, or buy it with 50 acres of tax free land within 10 miles of a Costco.
Will the USA conscript all those who cried for inclusivity or will it still punish only the ambled bodied young men for its war machinery. The courts are going to overflow with inequality litigations.
It appears that there may be certain educational institutions fostering a negative sentiment towards America among our youth. This lack of pride in their own country raises concerns about their willingness to contribute to its progress. It is disheartening to note that only 16% of Generation Z express pride in being American, especially when compared to the significantly higher 92% of Chinese youth expressing pride in China. Such stark contrasts are not coincidental, but rather deliberate.

well in all honesty anyone who says anything bad about china in china is likely gonna have officials at the door the next day. So their probably is alot of young people in China unhappy with the government but are forced to say otherwise
Im 57 years old, retired Air Force and feel the last generation of parents failed the eligible recruits by lowering standards and by accepting mediocrity. It poisoned this generation. Why would they give up their "entitled" status to conformity even with the lowering of standards and maximum age changes to increase recruitment? I grew up in a time when we learned to tie shoes before kindergarten rather than resorting to velcro. We knew how to read a tape measure and tell time on an analog clock. We signed paychecks in cursive. We knew what spackling was by 8. We had pick up games and didn't rely on parents to drive us to practice...we ran there. Not everyone received a trophy and we kept score! We knew how to give change back when someone gave us a few cents over. We played outside and drank from hoses. We actually had to have the courage to talk to girls rather than make up a fake social media account and hide behind words. We earned enough money to buy a beater car and were proud to have it. We weren't handed a new car at graduation. We knew what patriotism was at an early age and many of us served for that reason alone to preserve and protect the right for this generation to have the creature comforts they enjoy. And we adapted quickly to technology and still outwork this generation! Tough love and a competitive spirit fosters teamwork and good morale. We need to stop the weak ass excuses and be real parents and mentors! We have only ourselves to blame for this predictable outcome!
The ones that are more capable than the rest usually have other opportunities as well. Another important factor is that the US spent 20 years in Afghanistan and 8 years in Iraq with nothing to show for it. And now the treatment of veterans by government institutions is made more public and this will discourage people even more.
The world you grew up in is completely different than the world of today.
You can't even chat up a girl without her calling the police and having you arrested and imprisoned on trumped up charges without evidence and isn't punished for doing so.
Name ONE Senator that was arrested, lost office, and was held to account by the public for corruption or abuse of power or mismanagement of funds. I can guarantee for each name you give, they never had a parking ticket.
My grandparents emigrated to America, fleeing two genocidal dictators of the 20th century. Fast forward to today, I'm absolutely disgusted and repulsed by what this country has shamelessly devolved into.
Despite my best efforts at work and desire to prosper, my peers kept me down for a multitude of reasons. For one, I made them look bad. I shined as labor while they sat behind a desk as a position of management they didn't deserve. As is their kids. Nothing could be done or said about it.
As a cherry to the cake, society endlessly broadcasts that I'm privileged while they demand what they didn't work for. Then when they get it, have the nerve to disparage the country they destroyed without fear of repercussion because any call of scrutiny is squelched with an accusation of prejudice.
As an aside, if the country is forcing me to take up arms and battle to the death the citizens of another country, I demand the knowledge of why I'm doing so. If I have to pull the trigger and end someone else's life as he to me, the both of us are entitled as to the justification. Otherwise, those in charge can do their own dirty work.
It's time for a national draft. The military will straighten todays snow flakes out. You refuse service then don't complain about your student loans.
Your children first.
Take your meds
Not todays military. There's a reason veterans are discouraging their kids from joining.
The draft needs to include all women and minority shortlists to address the lack of diversity within the current system
"Yeah". Your kids are going first
