I doubt many Vets want to work for a C-in-C that sees dead people.

Holy hell. I know it’s an election year but this is madness.

Brandon is going too far. If no one wants to join the military to serve under Brandon, then pay them more, leave retirees out of it.
Looks like only the Air Force at the moment is doing this. I see it states it will be for 48 months maximum back at active duty, but I see no criteria for age, or length of time being retired, or any physical fitness testing requirements listed that I can find.

Even if I had been recently retired as an Air Force E-5 to E-9, it would still be a hard no for me. I doubt I could make it through the mandated "When to use pronouns and when to address by military rank" training they have now.

This is voluntary. I would guess there are a number of successful military career people who miss the security and comradery of the military.
Not trying to be funny or insulting, but by chance, have YOU ever served in the military and not a relative of somebody that did serve? I bring this up since today’s military isn’t the same military of just a few years ago and their is a real reason why the Air Force is acting out of desperation.

Anyway!! Security is having a monthly retirement check dropped into you bank account WITHOUT taking any additional risk with your own life again.

Also, if you served more than 20 years in the military, you’re good in the comradely department since you most likely do not have too much in common with today’s youth. And if you retired, I am pretty sure nobody is willing to jump back into all the BS politicking and backstabbing… And now, throw in several layers of WOKE-ism AND unrealistic mission expectations, you would have to be stupid to risk what you already have!!

The reality of today’s military is accidentally using the wrong pronouns and calling a trans “She” a “He,” and facing an investigation or even criminal chargers!! Heck no!!

Yes, this is an Air Force issue and I do not have a dog in this fight since I’m retire Army with 30 years of service. The Left has destroyed our entire Armed Forces with their total and complete BS… And now these same Liberals are shocked that nobody wants to join “their version” of the “new” military or stay in it!! Now the Left is panicking since they really want to start a war, but they’re now realizing there is hardly anybody left in the military to fight it.

So yes, to any Liberal, this is a great idea since THEY do not have any skin in the game AND it’s somebody else that is risking everything. I think that Liberals should join the Armed Forces and actually do something to fix a problem… A problem they caused.

I’m sure simply by the law of averages, they will find a few O-6/Colonels to bite, but that’s about it since they’re high enough in the ranks to blame others for their screw ups.

Today, it’s the Air Force. Tomorrow, it will be the Army and Navy since they are in a far worse shape than the Air Force.

On a side note, the military, through their DEI mandatory training into “White Rage,” blamed White service members for the sins of their ancestors AND now they are completely shocked that Whites are no longer joining in the numbers that they once did! This is why “sheet” is all screwed up!!

Before I’m call a White suprematist, I’m half Black and German with a pinch of Jewish blood, married to a Hispanic and Asian woman, so I have all my bases covered!!

Sad some would say no to fight for our nation if needed.

Those who have a true love of our country and what it stands for wouldn’t hesitate.

The 3 killed at Tower 22 were reservists. Does that tell you anything?

The CIC has their back, he needs more targets for the Irainan proxies to shoot at.

Yep, biden said he warned Custer not to attack, but he ignored his advice.

Does anyone think biden actually came up with the plan to call retirees back into service?????????

So who is calling the shots, that mean life or death, for all who serve?????????
