Military Minute 14 Jan 24

I’m Papa Penguin and this is your Military Minute.

We start off our coverage on the sharp decline of caucasians enlisting in the US Army. Like a 50% decline since 2018. And of course the powers that be won’t even hazard a guess on why. “It’s complicated.” No, it really isn’t that complicated. Take a couple of young generations, teach them to hate their own country. Next, bombard them with messages of your skin color makes you bad. Then sit back and watch the recruiting numbers fall quicker than my ex-wife’s panties after 3 shots of tequila.

The Houthi’s are beginning to get a taste of FAFO. The US and her allies have unleashed a small can of whoop ass on a few sites in Yemen. If they keep this up Halliburton may “discover” oil and then it’s a whole new level of FAFO.

Finally we have the Canadian military police threatening a civilian sex worker with charges for unauthorized wearing of military uniforms. I’ve learned a couple of interesting facts about Canada during this story. 1. The Canadian military can charge civilians. 2. Sex work is legal but pimps are not. She garnered attention because of her advertisements apparently. Which she claims are above board because she is the owner and proprietor. Of course, I’m taking her claim at face value. So, she could be wrong. I mean, trusting the judgment of a prostitute, how could that go wrong?
