Biden Orders Selected Reserve and Certain Members of the Individual Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty - Nice DD-214, be a shame if someone NEGATED IT!

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility. In furtherance of this operation, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty.

This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

WIKIPEDIA
Operation Atlantic Resolve, though not a "named" operation, refers to military activities in response to Russian operations in Ukraine, mainly the War in Donbass. It was funded under the European Deterrence Initiative. In the wake of Russia's 2014 intervention in Ukraine, the U.S. and the U.K. took several immediate steps to enhance the deterrence posture along the eastern flank of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including augmenting the air, ground and naval presence in the region, and enhancing previously scheduled exercises.[1]

The US described the activities as taking measures to enhance NATO military plans and defense capabilities and maintaining a persistent presence in Central Europe and Eastern Europe.[2] Atlantic Resolve rotations are overseen by a regionally aligned headquarters there.[3][4]


US Army Europe
Since April 2014, U.S. Army Europe and Africa has led the Department of Defense's Atlantic Resolve land efforts. Atlantic Resolve provides rotational deployments of combat-credible forces to Europe to show our commitment to NATO while building readiness, increasing interoperability and enhancing the bonds between ally and partner militaries.
As of Nov. 2021, the newly reactivated V Corps has assumed command and control of all Atlantic Resolve rotational forces.
(So, they reactivated V Corps. Here's the thing about V Corps. It's the only authorized European unit for fucking NUKES)


Gee, Joe, whatcha need 3 Divisions for?

Pardon me while I go to the REEEEING DOME.

I'm not afraid of death, either get shot or get nuked are my choices as a 20 something male with little financial standing in the world. I literally cant run even if i wanted to. AND Part of the reason is that I'm sick of the people around me IRL being absolute pacifist hippies, even though they themselves are bigger and stronger than I, either being hippy liberals or fucking lolberts. I may not have much, but I love my home, even if Utah is the only sane state left. I know how to shoot, weld, drive a truck, which gives me far better odds than someone on TikTok all day
If I were a member of your family, and the announcement came that you were drafted, I would drug you and make for South America. I would get books on tape to listen to on the drive down so I could fluently speak Spanish. One minute, you'd be in America getting ready to die for US politicians to get richer. The next minute, we'd be having coffee in Columbia with a cartel member.

I wouldn't want you to die to enable the greed of rich parasites.
 
The best way to ensure no draft, work your way into an essentail position in a military contractor where your skills etc makes you irreplaceable. It's not as hard as you think. Then they can't draft you without fucking up their supply chain plus your bonus and company shares grow significantly making a nice little profit.
 
Fox News with another new piece about how one young man is mad at Biden, for not wanting to join.

‘Eroded patriotism’: Teen shares why he now won’t follow in father’s footsteps as military recruiting lags (Archive)

Aden Gilbert grew up watching war movies, fighting enemy combatants in video games and listening to his dad's Marine Corps stories. He considered following in his father's footsteps but changed his mind as he saw the country and its leadership heading in a direction antithetical to his values.

"If we're prioritizing being woke, and we can't actually protect the majority of American people . . . what's the point of having a military?" Gilbert asked Fox News. "Is it really worth joining and putting our life on the line for ideologies that we don't agree with and that we don't want to necessarily protect?"

Military children have historically been more likely to serve their country than their peers. Ten years ago, more than a quarter of new recruits had a parent who had served, and around 80% reported having at least one family member who had done so, according to a Pentagon survey.

"It was something that a man of honor would do, to serve and protect his country and serve and protect those values that existed back then," Gilbert, 18, said. "But I think things are a little bit different now."

The military is struggling to fill its ranks as young people like Gilbert forgo service. The Marine Corps and Space Force are the only branches that anticipate meeting their enlistment goals this year. The Army, Navy and Air Force expect to fall a combined 26,000 enlistees short in fiscal year 2023. The Army also fell short in 2022 by about 15,000 soldiers (25% of its goal).

Military officials have pinned much of the blame for lackluster recruitment numbers on a competitive job market and a dwindling pool of qualified applicants. Only 9% of young Americans are interested in serving their country, according to the Department of Defense.

Gilbert said the military is alienating the very men and women who are most likely to serve by emphasizing progressive ideologies over readiness. A recent Navy recruiting pitch featured a drag queen, and last year the branch released a video stressing the importance of pronouns.

"I would rather tiptoe around literal landmines than have to tiptoe around people's pronouns," Gilbert said.

Gilbert has always considered himself a patriot, but said the left has "successfully eroded patriotism" by pushing restrictive laws, "woke" ideology and "celebrating satanic themes in music and Hollywood."

"It just angers me seeing our president as the conductor of that symphony of sewage," he added.

Jason Gilbert, Aden's dad, said he never pushed his children in one direction or another when it came to enlisting. But he wasn't surprised when his son changed his mind about joining.

"I could see he was a little bit demoralized about the direction the country was going," said the elder Gilbert, who founded the Disabled Veterans PAC and helps former service members run for office.

"When we hear the word ‘pride,’ we're now programed to instinctively think of the rainbow flag, whereas the generations before me, when they heard the word ‘pride,’ they thought of the American flag," the younger Gilbert said. "And now to the left, that's considered offensive."

He said he's "not moved to serve a commander in chief who seems to value the rainbow flag over the American flag" and "labels white supremacy and climate change as the top national security threats in our country, yet never once has denounced Marxism."

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth acknowledged last month that there was "no doubt" that the perception that the military has gone "woke" is exacerbating recruiting woes.

"We are a ready Army, not a ‘woke’ Army," Wormuth told reporters in June.

But the branch's top civilian leader blamed the problem on rhetoric rather than military policies.

Financial incentives to join the military hold less sway, too. Fewer students are pursuing higher education, making the GI Bill less appealing to him, and he started his own social media marketing business during his senior year of high school.

"Until the values sent forward by the president, that the military is tasked to defend, revert back to the core values that our founders and the past generations died for . . . I'm just going to stick with my decision to decline military service to instead run my business," Gilbert said.

I wish that were in the cards. At the same time I don't. No place other than the USA is my home. If we're going to fall, if this is the end of Rome, I want to see it myself. And at that point, WW3 happens, I'll be dammed before a chink or ruskie boot touches US, or heaven forbid, Utah soil. Fools and women may start the war, but men will end it, one way or another. So give me my M16, my Humvee to drive into battle with, and let me do my duty. As for the parasites in Washington- it's WW3 at that point, nukes are flying, anything could happen.

The only way we fix these things is if we draft women and make them experience the impact of their right to vote

Brother, I'm all for going full Warhammer 40k, hordes of tanks ( the M1 Abrams if course and the new assualt gun/ light tank M10 Booker), Bradley's, M113's, Humvees, and hordes of troops, literally anyone that can shoot. Only then will we have TRUE gender equality
 
My job at that point is to make sure America, and more importantly, Utah and my family, survives. I will have done that.

What right does the current US government have to demand you go die for their money laundering operations? How does dying for said money laundering operation benefit America, Utah, and specifically your family?

It doesnt make you a coward to not agree to being drafted for an unjustifiable conflict, would you still submit to a draft if it were to explicitly burn down Salt Lake City?

It's what my family has done for generations. We are builders and we are soldiers. I refuse to cower and run when those before me didn't.

The bottom half is a absurd hypothetical. Absolutely absurd. And separating what are two statements, you can argue that of EVERY WAR. Even if I find it stupid, it still needs to be fought, and I have more reason than most to fight it. At that point I am fighting for my nation to make sure that a war overseas stays overseas. That is my priority.

It seems like you already made up your mind, and want validation from the vets on the farms.

Which they by and large aren’t going to give; at least not for the conflicts that seem to be in the cards right now.

Power to you if you want to do this kid. I just fear it’s not going to go how you think.

I actually do respect the concern, I do. I just disagree. And that's all right. I'm not mad at any of you for your positions, just know that I have mine, like it or not. That's the fun thing about the farms, you're allowed to be retarded

Your ancestors didnt uncritically go and fight. If they had been drafted into the Confederate army: Would they have just submitted and fought? If they had been drafted into the Loyalist army: Would they have just submitted and fought? I should like to doubt they were unthinking zogbots.

The point of the absurd hypothetical is to ask whether you're willing to fight and die for literally any cause, just because the guy in charge tells you to. It sounds to me like there's some limit to what you might be willing to agree to, I'd love to know what that limit might be.

You realise, of course, that the only reason such a war were taking place (And therefore have the potential to reach American shores) would be because people like yourself are willing to suit up and start shooting without a second thought? If you want to protect your nation and your state you'd do better to not contribute to its destruction.
 
I do have my mind made up and I'm not asking permission or validation. People keep asking me shit and I find it amusing.
Your mind is made up.

I'd tell you not to join. After all, look at the treatment of vets after the war is over, if you survive the war. Look at how ground troops and logistics are underfunded, under-equipped, and undermanned. Look at your leadership.

The government won't keep their word. They'll waste your life now. Then the same people who bought yellow ribbons and talked all that smack will look at you as a parasite, a leech, and a war criminal if you survive.

And there's no glory laying on your back, staring at the sky, and feeling yourself bleed out.

But, you have your mind made up.
 
While calls of WW3 seem to be a bit premature admittedly we'll have to see if troops getting deployed to Europe reaches tens of thousands or not.

Dying for modern America really isn't worth it (at least in its current form) but each to their own I suppose. Honestly I'm more worried about any potential giant conflict breaking the economy even if the USA somehow won and didn't die, much like what happened with the Europeans after WW1 and WW2.

On the topic of any fighting at all, there is this classic almost cliche quote by G.K. Chesterton: “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him". If you have any plans for enlisting or happily going along with a draft if it happened tomorrow think long and hard about that for the United States as it is now. That is to say nothing of the abysmal senior command and citizen leadership of the American Armed Forces and other issues many others have mentioned.

Actually one was a Confederate lol. I told you it goes far back!

I'm not shooting Americans. Thats the limit, the bar.

I have put much thought into it, years of it. I will not volunteer, but if a draft is issued, I shall go. It's what life has demanded of me. And I shall do all in my power to win.

I know that going in. I thank you for your honesty. Thank you for accepting I've made my choices.
