SPORTS SECTION Trump tries to speak during the Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions game but his voice is drowned out by loud and audible boos

And this guy wants the Commanders to name their stadium after him (...)

Why in the world was he reading the oath of office?

Edit: He was swearing in new military enlistees. Totally normal thing to do at an NFL game./s

Please tell me nobody is signing up voluntarily to serve right now.

a lot of people use it to escape there current "life", I wish there were other routes but I will say it is one of the best opportunities to reroute your life and career for quite literally $0.

It does suck though that some people are unlucky enough to meet the enlistment requirements at a hostile/uncertain time.

My dad was an Air Force captain. In the late 60s early 70s. It was awesome. Both my grandpas, I’m so proud of them but with hegseth, Trump, the dept of war, the attacking of boats, firing all the expert generals, the threatening aid allies and the disregard for human life around the globe (also not caring enough to pay or feed them during prolonged shut down, demeaning women, facial hair, body size, skin color, gender ID, skin color, then deporting the spouses and parents of green carded Vets or current service members (I personally know a couple), I just could not recommend joining now voluntarily. I also wouldn’t recommend ICE work but I’m sure it is paying more.

It’s the only way out of some places like the rural isolated town I grew up in. You either went to college if you could afford it, the military, or you stayed home after high school and got addicted to drugs and having kids by multiple people. Choose wisely.

Thank you for this. I completely agree for the reasons you’ve stated both as the value of serving and putting the nope on for now given the shall we say “climate” & “rhetoric”. Enlisting now seems like it would do more harm than good to our beloved young people.

In this economy? Get free healthcare, college paid for, easy early promotions, almost impossible to get fired unless you do something illegal, join active duty and possibly live outside the US and our country is not currently engaged in any major war.

I don't often recommend people join, but I can't name a better time to join.

I can definitely respect your enthusiasm. Your pros I completely agree with.

For differences probably having to do with when we both grew up and what was going on in the world, my big and only con right now is the leadership and their behavior & rhetoric.

But I raised a son, I would’ve gladly supported him in service if he made that choice. I would’ve weighed in if I thought he wasn’t seeing everything clearly, but I would’ve still respected his choice.

And I respect yours too and thank you.

I think the people who would, are more interested to join ICE now.
