The smallest U.S. military force in more than 80 years is about to get even smaller. Under end strength levels outlined in the annual defense authorization bill passed by the Senate Wednesday evening and expected to be passed by the House on Thursday, the total number of active-duty troops in the armed forces will drop to 1,284,500 in fiscal 2024. That’s down nearly 64,000 personnel in the last three years and the smallest total for America’s military since 1940, before the United States’ entry into World War II. https://www.armytimes.com/news/pent...duty-end-strength-to-drop-again-in-2024/

If that’s not scary enough we have 5000 tanks. Most of the Europe nations have around 60. Some don’t even have artillery guns. Think about that!!

Not to worry! These new recruits know how to blow the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) out of the enemy.

They will just do like before-bring in the draft.
But not before Ramaswammy secures the Northern Border.
