   That the Army gets you for 6 years, even if you're only active for 3, isn't news, or new at all.

     and there’s not enough police to put down the riots

     Now that I think about it, police membership in general has declined sharply since the Floyd riots. Look at all the sign-on bonus shit they try to give you to police this brownoid, crime-addled shithole. Hilarious.

     I like that the behavior of the military really does outline what our masters have in store for us. Really, you see the same patterns before things really kick off in general.

     I'd look for increased activity in bases OCONUS that can simulate combat conditions in Taiwan, Ukraine etc.
     
     We used NTC extensively for desert warfare school. Look to bases in the southeast for signs. For SE Asia Ft. Polk and Ft Sill are similar climates

     Wherever you look, it’s very clear the United States’ leadership didn’t wring enough blood out of us during the Oil Wars, so it’s looking like we’re about to get into the fray with China and/or Russia.

     Wonder if we’ll leave a bunch of materiel there like we did with the sandbox, after 20 or so odd years of fucking around.

     @Owl @Evil_Bender @KashKustomer @Shadowman311 Russia? Okay, so long as it doesn't go nuclear (spoiler alert: it would go nuclear). China, though? If war were to break out tomorrow, we'd lose bigly. Our army is simply not big enough and there's not enough police to put down the riots if they attempted a draft in this political climate.

     Either someone wasn't aware it was a thing, or they're pulling that lever more and more often as recruitment and general ability declines.

     They do it before any war. I had a platoon sergeant at 27 years ETS date was in October the year we deployed. They stop lossed all the short timers around April. Needless to say, he was fucking pissed!

     Yup that little tail end of your contract called IRR. The more technical your MOS the longer the IRR obligation. Mine was 2 years

     @Tactical @caekislove @Evil_Bender @KashKustomer @Shadowman311 @Owl The primary MOS that composes my unit is offering a 30k sign on bonus. I had soldiers have to pay that back when they refused the vaxx
