      @@diegocortez270 exactly. Typical dummy question. And the mistreatment of our vets here in the US has been happening way before Biden or Trump. If Trump was so good why didn’t he do something about it by executive order instead of trying to bash Biden? One thing I can’t stand more is someone who supports trump and doesn’t even know why he’s benefiting them other than what fox of OAN tells them. Then they yell tax cuts thinking that free money. Like we still have to pay that back. The sooner the better. Trump was just kicking the can down the line and it failed. So cry harder trump supporters. My jacuzzi ain’t filled yet

I agree that Iraq and Afghanistan were initially invaded illegally but people forget that the UN stepped in very quickly to set up ISAF for the re-establishment and maintenance of peace and security in both countries.

    • @benhalsall4120
      @benhalsall4120 3 роки тому +8

      This may be true, but it is beside the point. Sky news is here to shed light and make insightful comments on our society.
      They need to be explicit with their findings, and in order to do that they need to analyse them.
      Simply accepting what people say on interview without considering why/ how likely they are to admit something (in this case a lack of self - confidence) isn’t very helpful.
      To truly find out whether today’s generation lack a level of self confidence possessed by preceding generations, they have to do more research and analysis to come to a quality conclusion.
      This isn’t to say that everyone doesn’t lack confidence at some point or at some time in their life. It is commentary on whether today’s society lacks a level of confidence which can’t be acquired by quick fixes and instant gratification. A level of confidence that is diminishing in our society, which the Army try to address in their new Recruiting Adverts.

    When I was 18 I tried to join the U.S. Marine. Corps. To follow in the footsteps of my uncle's who I looked up to, more than my own father. I worked out to be able to pass the physical standards. I ran 3 miles at under 20 minutes I could do the pull ups easy and I was in great shape. I started the process and scored a 99 on the asvab. I was told I could do any job I wanted. Then they found out I stole some beer from a store when I was 15. That was it. All my training for nothing. I tried the other branches and they didn't want me either. I was so bummed I used to sleep under a marine corps flag while I was training. Anyways, after all these years I'm glad it happened that way. I do not respect the woke direction the US military is headed. It looks weak to me. All the vets I know are ashamed of what's happening in the military.

    It’s very presumptuous for the older generations to think that the sole problem with the younger generations is lack of self-confidence.

      Here in the US they can't recruit either because most people are fat/obese and too lazy to do anything that requires physical work. Now even the military has overweight people because they have relaxed STANDARDS to try and keep people in the service.

    I used to live on British army bases while growing up. They were in Germany at the time and I spend 18 years living in the army system. Living in an army house and going to an army school. It was called the BFPO life that me and my friends went through.
    My dad was a sports teacher for the army schools hence why we were out there.
    Every day on the way to school I would see soldiers marching down the streets now and then on training. Even a tank here and there. And so many of my mates told stories of their dads who where in the middle of it all.
    There was plenty of opportunities to sign up. With posters in the local shop and scout clubs giving youngsters a taste of the life where saluting a flag is a regular chore.
    Yet in all that time I grew up around all this, every time a soldier would talk to me and ask if I ever thought about joining they always said the same thing.
    "Don't. Its not worth it"
    So I took their advice.
