The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yeah. Don't throw away your life. Don't enlist until we get competent leadership that doesn't regard you as cannon fodder.

“AI Overview
U.S. military recruitment in fiscal year 2025 has seen a dramatic turnaround, with all service branches hitting or exceeding targets after years of deficits, achieving a 103% average mission completion rate, according to the U.S. Department of War (.gov). The Army surpassed its 61,000-soldier goal four months early, fueled by increased interest from women and pre-qualification prep courses, say NPR and Army.mil.”

Enlistment numbers were way down under president Biden’s WOKE sissy military.
Men and women couldn’t enlist fast enough when Donald Trump became president and selected
Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.
A fact you cannot deny.
