Keep yourself and family safe, we need you.
It wasn't supposed to be "uplifiting." It was get on board or get out.
I enlisted when it was still called "this man's army" and was still in when it began being called "the new army." I felt so much less confident in my brothers in arms in my last 5 years than I did in my first 4 years.
Why did they think it was supposed to be an uplifting message?
What on earth is a defence force suppose to be other than fit and ready ?
During the Vietnam war the flight officers flying sorties over Vietnam were in top physical shape.
When I was a university Air Force ROTC instructor as a Captain, I was talked to because I made Officer candidates do 40 pushups outside of “allotted physical training time”. I did them together with them too, but I was told I was hazing them and to stop. I was just trying to do my job and make them the best officers possible.
Height of stupidity to get military advice from View hosts.
Something no one has touched on is that people that are out of shape get injured more easily and more often than people in shape.
The View is making it too easy for Gutfeld to mock them. 😂
