Military Support

The United States of America has not had the Military Draft since 1973 and so has relied on an All-Volunteer Military for 48 years.

That means that every single American Solider, Sailor, Airman/woman in the US Military today choses to risk their lives to keep complete strangers (Americans and Foreigners) safe around the country and the world.

Before the Draft ended in 1973 a survey done throughout the United States found that 86% of all Americans either served, were serving or knew a family member that was serving in the US Military.

In 2019 a survey done throughout the United States found that 1% of all Americans either served, were serving or knew a family member that was serving in the US Military.

Despite the vast majority of Americans no longer having any direct contact with the US Military and so support has been down for decades the men and women of the US Military continue to risk their lives to protect the United States and the rest of the world on every single continent and have a military presence in most countries.

The 13 men and women of the US Military who died at the Kabul Airport (and the 18 US Soldiers wounded) on August 26, 2021 did so protecting Americans, Afghanis and other nationalities.

They were working hard, under impossible conditions to save thousands upon thousands (over 150,000 so far) of: American, Canadian, British, French, Polish, Spanish Dutch, Australian, Belgian, Azeri, Austrian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Mexican, New Zealander, Pakistani, Indian, Nepali, Russian, Filipino, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Singaporean, South Korean, Swedish, Turkish, Swiss, Ukrainian and Afghani Men, Women and Children.

The Suits (Biden, his Advisors, the Politicians, etc.) create and end the wars.

The Boots (the men and women of the US Military - the US Army, the US Air Force, the US Marine Corps., the US Space Force, the US Navy and the US Coast Guard) have to keep the world safe within the terms the Suits set on them.

Keep THAT in mind when you think about what is going on around the world right now.

It's the Suits' (not the Boots') fault for the chaos and death.
