Pentagon/US military is high key incompetent :poll

[Jalether]

Firstly. This is an organisation that has literally failed their last 4 financial audits in a row with trillions of dollars unaccounted for
Now I believe this falls under corruption as well. It's a combination of incompetence and corruption but the focus of this thread is on the former

They gave a highly unstable and traitorous person like Trump unfettered access to all classified materials for 4 years and even allowed him to take some home with him after leaving the whitehouse, president or not, That should not happen

A physocapathic traitourous dipshyt like Mike flynn was able to make it to the very top as a general, like how

Perhaps the biggest illustration of their sheer incompetence is how they awarded a large military weapons contract to two complete and unknown amateurs in David Packouz
and Efraim Diveroli. They basically handed millions over to a bunch of unvetted twitch users whow smoke weed in their mama's basement

and all these in addition to the recent leak scandal

They invaded the wrong country 2 decades ago, yea they’re not that bright

They’re living off of the strength and infrastructure that they inherited from previous generations that were smarter, stronger, and tougher than ever will be. It’s all slowly crumbling right in front of us in real time.

This is why I can’t understand how people would believe their lies about the Ukraine war. You all lived though Iraq and Afghanistan. How could you fall for it again so easily?

Our equipment is made by the lowest bidder is pretty common knowledge though. It’s a running joke that if you lose a item they goin charge you the full cost of piece.

07 was a meat grinder and alotta people was getting fukked up, think that was tail end of surge (older brehs chime in). So they was tryin arm everyone they could with what they could .. dudes would lose plates and helmets and sleeping bags and shii..lol
Bag had like three layers and instead of charging for the layer you lost, you pay the whole ticket

Knowing the right people gets you promoted/awards/schools, alotta times irrelevant to skill. If that ERB/ORB look heavy, then yk what it is..

Alotta the top isn’t nessessarily incompetence( though many are of course), but a lot of extremely out of touch with the fighting force.

The key to a healthy force is a stable NCO corps and we’ve been bleeding ours for the last couple years. It’s our Achilles heel actually

Main culprit is @Loose

 

[Paper Boi]

it's not incompetence

it is by design

 

[Fillerguy]

I'd say that some of the individuals who make up the military are incompetent.

This is nothing like the Iraq war. I was against the war in Iraq. I am very much for Ukraine pushing Russia's shyt back and I want MORE weapons to be given to Ukraine. As much as they need and more because they are fighting for a just cause.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

whole damn government lmao

You’re repeating the same type of propaganda that republicans were saying about Iraq in 2003. It’s just that this time around you’re on the other side of the issue.

I mean, soldiers are not the brightest bulb in the room, sorry baby killer brehs.

 

[Chip Skylark]

US military and pentagon are incompetent?! Hell no

But it contains personnel who are

Agreed, the rape and destruction of Irak by the US was much, much worst.

Lies about weapons of mass destruction to launch an invasion is not the same as helping a nation defend itself from an aggressor.

How are you not seeing this?
