I read that as "quit."
But the more likely scenario is that the Army didn't offer him an extension or the option of changing his MOS.
No one likes a whiner.

My "damn point" is that nothing he said is special nor does it offer anything enlightening with regard to "what Obama and liberals did to our military."


The military is functioning well enough to still be attractive to many.
Both the Army and Air Force met or exceeded their recruitment targets for fiscal year 2016.

Those kids will be trained to be great soldiers or air men by people who actually still care about doing their jobs - not by the likes of the snowflake in the OP's video.
Just because he couldn't cut it, doesn't mean that others won't continue to do so.



Seems the soldiers disagree with you...........

Why does the US need to spend as much on our military as the next 12 nations combined?

Our career military today is expected to be ready for war every day because they are essentially AT war every day. If not with a foreign enemy with a domestic one (like Obama).
I have a few family members in military. One specifically is in special forces. When Trump was elected he was practically begging for a war. I don't get the mentality I suppose.

No I fully understand this guy. He's a bit intense for me but he makes sense.

Very graphic language as he's just a little upset.
