Keep up the great videos Jameson we need the core back in our military we need soldiers not ticktock’s and the military gets embarrassed to lower the education standard and restrict those who need the structure but they aren’t embarrassed to do what they been doing and promoting the cringey people that they promote
My mate served In Afghanistan these people would diisgused him serve your country this is is what China North Korea and Russia want to hear
A young warrior should have an NCO go with them to buy a car.
If you join the military you are no longer a autonomous. You are literally government property.
Also, they brain wash you through reputation, sleep deprivation, and negative reinforcement.
Wars are only flight by poor people. Rich people fund wars, like Raytheon, or Lockheed Martin, etc.
It is a scam. Too many homeless vets. It’s cool if you don’t get stationed in Iraq and you somehow get an easy ride, but that takes luck.
If you use the military to learn a trade for free, and then intentionally get dishonorably discharged then that would be smart. It’s like free school but you’d have to be dishonorable to achieve that.
If this country was a constitutional republic, instead of a socialist leaning democracy, then it would be worth sacrificing for.
If the constitution is not followed to the “T” in this country, then who cares about a corrupted version of this country. It’s only worthwhile to fight for freedom, and it’s stupid to fight for globalist/ (UN) agendas.
Yes any agenda will be disguised as good for you, but that’s just because think tanks are really good at what they do.
If it’s not a military fighting for a constitutional republic, sovereign, free USA, but instead it’s a military supporting corporate interests along with political BS.
So all those peoples excuses are dumb because joining the military is a sacrifice and it’s only worth joining the military if it’s worth the sacrifice. Today it’s not worth it because the law of the land, administration, open boarders, getting involved with other countries wars, disregard of the constitution in lower courts, and the degradation of American culture make it very stupid to join the military.
If you are power hungry, want authority, want to get into politics, or get access to military grants then atleast u have some goals you can achieve through the military. US needs more militias bc the military is for the gov and our gov is sour at the moment. Hopefully this all changes though. It wasn’t always like this.
What's so hard about understanding that when you agree to join the military, you essentially gove up certain rights?
i dont know. all of the facts are there. join, you gave up the bill of rights. mostly wont matter until it affects you kinda thing.
That's the problem though; the current system is making less people join. If you're going to have volunteers give up something they have to get something back that's valuable to them in return or they'll not join and not retain
You give up all your rights..
@@Acotoits called discipline and training.
@@van3158 Recruiters will tell you that those dont sell as well as they use to. And those who are in also arent re-uping. Veterans and active duty are both saying what sorts of things need to change but nobody with any authority in gov seems to be listening.
The first black girl was actually stating reasons that people give for not joining the military and she was debunking their excuses by saying, "you say you don't want to go to war but you'll be a thug on the streets"

yeah but most people aren’t smart enough to listen to what she’s saying just getting mad
@@ChronicAndIronic Pretty difficult to even understand what she's saying lol
Yeah, it was very difficult understanding her.
why do they talk that way?
To translate. She was telling people to drop that attitude and do what you joined to do. She was saying join to get out of the bad life that you're in now that is bring you or your family down to drastically break the cycle. She was stating don't be afraid about war if your already out doing war like stuff in the streets now.
He was too busy making fun of her than to intelligently see she was actually defending it. Obviously a man who lacks respect for women.
Exactly..
@@Luvothrsmor22I don’t think he was making fun of her, he just didn’t understand what she was saying.

That last guy killed me. Says he's been counseled for TikTok videos in the past, and decides it's a great idea to make another one shitting on the military.
And he is a CPL at that.
Counseled in the past, continued behavior, sounds like he's looking at a field grade Article 15. That could mean loss of up to 2 grades, fined half your pay for two months, 45 days of extra duty and restrictions... is it worth it?

@@zulufucxs1373 CPL has always been a reserved for the highest caliber SPC who is just trying to make their points for promotion. Usually already attended the PLDC (not sure new name) and is good to hook. This is obviously not the case with this one.
@@BigT2664for what?
Something the military taught me is do your research. Also, don't go in without a plan and make the military work for you as much as you can before signing contracts. Think of where you wanna be in 10yrs and see what the military, or which branch will help you along the best. Seems like these people had a point of view of entitlement and didn't expect to be put in their place.
This advice could go for any job. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
Military taught me to teach my kids not to be a brainwashed indoctrinated fool don't join the military ever.
Really? Do your research? Is that why they forced experimental shots on them?

My son joined the Army at 19. He was pushing carts at Walmart. His friends went to college, he decided that wasn’t for him.
Long story short, after asking to be inside the store and turned down he joined.
10 years later, the military was the best thing for him at the time.
He left a boy and came back a very respectable man. We are so proud of him.
The military was the worst thing for Vanessa Gullins 💁 just saying
Rightfully so.
It helped me for sure. If you have absolutely nothing in life, you can certainly do worse than the military.
Dude even being homeless is better than the military
Right, homeless is dangerous and depressing people lock their doors in vehicles and scowl at homeless kinda pushing you into fear and depression!In !Military you are actually doing a service and being somebody !!!
If you capitalize on the situation while in the military, you can either use it as a reference for future employment, or stay in till you retire. The problem is many don't see like that and never join. Many don't capitalize while in.

the military was always viewed as a stepping stone for enlisted. It was something to start with, get a skill and have a nice motch on the resume when they got out. Employers and college take veterans status into account when hiring or admitting. For a 18 to 22 year old, having that time in the military on a resume is going to help that person get a good job or entry into a school. If someone wants to make the military a career, then they go to an Academy. You need to put time in to get something back.
Yeah, most big companies would rather pay one veteran than three H1B street shitters every time.

This keeps up. Those recruitment numbers keep getting lower, then they'll really have something to complain about...a draft.
A draft would be hilarious. If you want to see fighting, try to force folks to side with America's tyrannical government. I'd imagine, at least half the country, doesn't approve of what the government does. Like infringing on our rights. Also there's a lack of confidence. America hasn't won a war since the 40s.
It was threatened recently. Wait till they see how many would rather go to jail than sign up. Cuz in jail they also get free meals, housing and health care.
It's inevitable, especially my generation. We all felt like a slave in some point or complained too much. Once we are out, we have a bad taste of it . Acces to info is more available than ever before
Your videos have been an inspiration for me. Joined the Army a year ago and I’ve been loving it. Keep posting man! Love your videos!
use the military for what it is. think of one enlistment and get all you can from it. there is a lot to get for your benefit IF you engage with the programs. learn to navigate it.

These kids have grown up in a nation that is always fighting needless wars to enrich the military industrial complex. They come back home with moral injury, commite suside in large numbers,homeless, on drugs and poor. while defense contractors are making billions. our wars are not defensive wars but forever wars to make political and the MIC rich.
You're not wrong.
Moral injury, suicide, drugs, homelessness, poor? These "kids" already have that before the Military. If you are a parent saying this then you are responsible for the way these "kids" are by giving them options and giving them everything they want. Walk in our boots for three years and then have something to say
These are the kind of videos that Putin , xi and Kim all share with each other and laugh their asses off
Which is why the CIA outsourced the job of fighting Russia to the Ukrainians.
If there was ever a reason to suppress free speech this is one. For national security and OPSEC reasons.
Man you really let that cold war propaganda influence how you think. You're trying to Americanize these world leaders that probably understand how Americans think, but they have too much pressure on them than to engage in nonsense.

6:55 She is absolutely correct. Car dealers do exploit military members in particular. Military does exploit you and some people don’t even notice because they have Stockholm syndrome.
@puggy4207 -
Because most young soldiers don't have established credit. The on-post credit unions can only help but so much, even with the best of young buyer programs. So, for those who are willing to take on the risk of approving the loan, there is a price to pay. Unless it's a buy here, pay her, the dealerships are not the one's "screwing over" the soldiers.
The banks have to put protections in place in order to protect their interest. And unfortunately, over the decades, they have been screwed by military members. There are two sides of the story.
@@thespadestable "screwed by military members"
Oh the dealer sold an 18yo a camero? Wow! SHOCKING
@@thedog5k -
Is that the best of a past you can do? Yep, it looks like it.
They need to reach them too by good used cars and maybe have a trusted dealer they can use. Lets face it, it is a rare woman who knows anything about cars but how start it and drive it as fast as it will go. And very few more men are any better unless they have been taught. If EV's ever get good enough to get into the market, they will be much worse.
@@rodwoods2108 -
The dealership is not the issue, and in reality the used car market is not better than buying new, as long as one sticks to a realistic gameplan.
New cars can get an interst rate (this was before the interst rate increase) below 10%. Used cars unless you have great credit, is going to be over 10%. Then with warranties, their is a reduction if you are the 2nd owner as opposed to be the original owner.
The problem is getting young people with money to understand there is nothing wrong with buying a base model and buying what one needs and not what the like, even if on paper it seems like one can afford it, because as the months tack on, one really couldn't.
Like my senior use to say.
If the GOVERNMENT wanted you to have a wife they would of issued you one.

When jumping out of moms house, you bring absolutely nothing to the table. It’s the military that actually gives you something to bring to the table.

Well they go to school … the military also only trains you up on what is applicable to them and takes your rights away then you either realize your useless without the military and leave for school or sell your soul to them.

You can get rich by living by your means. Had a fellow instructor in the Navy that was a E7 that always lived on E5 pay. He was an investor and a millionaire and always worked a second job. Living paycheck to paycheck is also a lifestyle choice in the military and yes the military has always been low paying.
That's solid frugality and work ethic. "Live within your means like you are two grades lower, work like you are two grades higher. Fast track tyo burnout, or just a frame of mind? You decide. I'm not you."

There are zero skills that you get from the military that make you a good employee. It's the complete opposite it teaches you bad coping mechanisms and irrational view on life. Most people don't think the way the military does. OIF veteran here.

The first lady likes the military. She is talking to the people on the streets with guns and fighting that could die but scared to go to war.
As enlisted, the quality of your life will depend on the competence and quality of your Commander, XO and 1st Sergeant. As a civilian, your boss is not normally involved in your life outside of work, but in the military, you belong to your boss 24/7. And the quality of officers at all levels can vary greatly. And you have no say in who your Commander and XO is. Plus, you signed a contract, so you can’t quit and walk away. Say goodbye to any free time if you get the attention of a bad supervisor. Remember, you belong to your boss 24/7 now. And to last until retirement, you have to get regularly promoted while surviving in this environment, or you will be forced to leave at the end of your contract. You get the security of that contract for a few years, but it comes with a price. Go for ROTC and a commission.
This is just a bunch of dribble. When you are not deployed, beyond PT, and the occasional duty day - its not much different from walking a 9-5. The pay is fair. Sure at the lower ranks you are getting paid less, but you also have less responsibility and capability. Like in civilian life, your mileage may vary with regard to leadership. Some times we get great ones, sometimes not so much. As for contacts vs. walking away, how many jobs can you walk away from before it impacts your QOL and employability. Grow up, accept your responsibility, do your job, stand your duty and enjoy all the military has to offer.
@@frivlus These kids are doing what soldiers have always done: grouse and complain about military life. Soldiers have always done this, but in the past, there was no social media. Kids today have grown up with social media and use it regularly. So it’s natural to complain online. Before these comments wouldn’t be public but would remain as barracks talk. Now social media is influencing behavior.

@@cmike123 fair and valid points
Most of these TikTok posters seem to have the same problem…they did not join the military to “serve”, they joined expecting the military would serve them. All success requires hard work. It’s not about working hard than others and having the same rank. It is about being better than those in the same rank, being respected as such, and having pride in your own performance. The military is not a place to be selfish. It can be hard on you and your family for reasons that are just inherent to any military. Hard work, average pay, time deployed, possibility of combat, following orders, being squared away in uniform, etc. You should expect all of that before you sign your contract and then do your best while you are in. Leave when your contract is up if being in the military just isn’t your thing, but leave with your head held high.
The military should serve us, our tax dollars are paying for there organization to even exist.
The fact that they are airing their dirty laundry in open forum, speaks volumes for their professionalism.
100% agree.
Well said. The military is about we, not me.
More people would join to serve if they saw reasons to be proud and have respect for what our military does around the world today. People don't like what we are doing. And there has been no new threats since 9/11 to inspire them to join to protect our own countries soil. So there lacks a purpose for people to want to go serve. They don't feel like what our goverment is doing is helping to actually protect anything we value as a people but just to serve the industrial complex and make billionairs who have military contracts richer. 🤷♂️

If your government is crapping on your freedoms and constitutional rights as a civilian why would you want to serve its military to begin with? It’s not like your service is upholding your homeland’s freedom or constitution these days or defending against its most prevalent enemy at the moment.

The real problem is horrific leadership in general, in society. Where in particular seems to matter little, nothing is being run competently and efficiently.
Life is about sacrifices. A lot of these young folks joined right after high school. Some of them are so entitled. They want to get paid and not do the work. They think the military has to follow their rules made up in their minds. The military isn't for everyone. If you don't like it, do your time and get out.

They will just institute an involuntary draft. If they can't get the numbers up, its likely to happen anyway, but not before the next election.
Marine Viet vet. Everything sucked from start to finish. The father of my best friend in HS was a Marine recruiter. This "friend" had a bum leg and couldn't join but worked hard to make numbers for his daddy. SF
Every last one of these people will be telling everyone that they wish they'd stayed in.
You know it! As they say: you dont know a good thing, until its gone! And we ALL do it! LOL
Im dumfounded as to how these clowns got promoted to NCOs
that part has changed a lot at least from the vantage point of someone who spend a bit in the Corps.
Quotas
@@pegcity4evaThey changed the verbiage from quota to "goals."
Everyone gets NCO when they hit their time… even those who shouldn’t be leading unfortunately
Take the online courses, go to the school, have good pt, and you're set.
The military is a fine choice, provided you can do what your told, when your told, and how your told without talking back. The military isn't about individualism, it's about teamwork and accomplishing objectives as part of the unit. So if you are about yourself and being an individual, this isn't for you.
On top of what JT said,, Military pay is low because they house, cloth and feed you. Plus you start at the bottom ranks requiring effort and time in to level up. Includes a pay raise per rank.
If you want 20 reasons not to join the military, talk to your nearest veteran.
Not sure what that guy was complaining about 9minutes in. If you’re skilled, ambitious, and patient you can found your own business after service and become a billionaire. Witnessed my uncle obtain his dream and retire.
Unfortunately that is a pipe dream in todays climate. You're gonna get out, buy a f350 and realize to start a business you're headed to the bank for a loan. Then you're gonna hate the stats that 99% of new businesses fail in the first two years. Forget buying a home you can't afford it. You'll rent rent rent until your strings are stretched to the breaking point.
@@BeyondPC sure, it was 2005 when he did it, in all fairness he didn’t make a fraction of what soldiers made then. He was smart and had a buddy that was just as smart and pulled it off.
@@BeyondPC Damn, you make bad choices.
Damn, 99% of the people make bad choice.
Go into the military for only that reason ….going into the military. By going in you’ll obtain a level of maturity far exceeding your peers. You’ll go to places, see things you’d otherwise not see in a lifetime. You’ll have responsibilities for people and equipment that cost into the $thousands/$millions while your contemporaries will be wiping tables.
Exactly. ☝️🥴👍
DONT JOIN THE MILITARY! 10 years out, still getting the green weeny!
lol. the big green weenie gets worse with age BUT ya got the VA....hahhhaa
@@JamesonsTravels Ah yes, the very efficient VA makes everything better.....
The military shouldn't get one more until our government respects we the people again, it's been at least 50 years
TikTok is for cringe normies
sure is BUT everyone is on it. from the top to the bottom. its a reality to find the temperature of the room.
It's a CCP propaganda platform.
@@JamesonsTravelsI'm not on that bullsh1t
Most of the people in my basic training took a pay cut to join. We did not join for money, but the skill set, the growth, the training and pride of accomplishment. Yes, after your first contract pays really matter since you might have a family by then.
Air Force veteran here. Yes, the pay sucked as an enlisted person, but you get free housing and free food while you're in the military. Going to war is obvious. These people just strike me as the type who don't like to take orders from someone higher ranking than them. Drama should not be allowed in the military. There's no place for it, and it might cause someone their life.
It's only getting worse the militery can do basic militery things any more half the branches can't fly plane properly. An the rest can't even act. Normal
What free food? Its deducted from your pay check. The housing is free but dependent on your duty station your housing might be a room shared amongst 3 marines in a moldy and roach infested brix
@@jabu1591if you knew how to read an LES. You would know that you're not really charged. You get BAS and the meal deduction is less than the BAS. So you still end up making money on top of your base pay. Tired of people like you that can't read their LES crying about pay. So stop pushing the myth.
@@baronc252
Dude is 23 and concerned he won't be there to see his grandchild grow up.
That's a very real possibility if he's killed in wartime.....
It was an honor for me to served in the military.
SEMPER FI.
same here
Probably got he wanted while serving
Glad one of us did
Good for you.. You helped enrich the clintons, bushs, obamas, and bidens! YOU SERVED THEM!! and all the schumers and pelosis as well!
thanks for serving corporate interests.
Probably because it was before the benefits and conditions were very shitty
Fact: You join the military to do a job, not to make friends with everyone.
Always heard the same bs complainers - stuff sucks but just see the good through the bad and improve yourself. But that’s too much for some people. Military is what you make it.
the military is the real world with bumper rails for the morons. meaning, make what you want from it. learn from the good and bad.
If we get into a war we are in big trouble
Their pay is lot more than someone on the outside who has to pay for rent, food, healthcare. They don't have to pay for that, and to top it off, they get a whole month of pay vacation after a year. This generation is terrible, ingrateful.
Do you really want to skimp out on paying the ones manning hundreds of billions of dollars worth of military equipment though?
History shows that it never pans out.
Military pay is awesome, especially since you don't have to invest anything for the return
@@redclayscholar620 -
The pay for junior enlisted is actually not that bad. Many figure out ways to purchase cars they couldn't afford and find themselves struggling or even worse.....Reposessed. But as it was in the old Army, they military provided you a room, a bed, the chow hall, and someone will (provided you ask) will drive you to work, the motor pool, and back to your quarters after work.
That equipment has been through so many hands, and the military attempts to make their equipment capable of being operated by a person with the average IQ no lower than 80.
reason #1 : if you get wounded/injured they WILL NOT help you.
B.S., as a combat vet wounded in Iraq (Desert Storm) all wounded and KIA goes home and get patched up.
You volunteered so it is on you. Pay has gotten so much better in each generation, so some of these ppl should have joined in the 90s and before if they wanted to complain about that.
The weakness of character displayed is sickening. Not a single one of those folk have the capability to become rich whether they joined the military or not.
💯🎯
You become rich because of your character?
@@cmike123duh… and your actions of course.
@@RebelGangTv-ge4ifwell unless your "character" is being a thug, and your "actions" are stealing cars, kidnapping or trafficking stuff, you are not getting rich.
Hustlers university really got to you huh? How much do you make?
Is there an version in English?
and i am from the south, i got maybe 50% and the bigger issue is how it affects her when she wants to move up in her career.
Many live by the law of the street: work, freeload, steal, or deal.
They should discharge everyone on tiktok

My daughter is USMC and will probably not renew but she is grateful for the training she's receiving. If she didn't develop tachycardia issues (possibly jab related due to the requirements of her having to get it) she might have looked at extending. She tells me she doesn't think they'll let her re-up with a heart condition. Even though its their fault she acquired one. Stupid mandates.
Only the cream of the crop belong in the corps
@@Based_location she is
Make sure your daughter applies for Va Disability if she gets outs they caused it.
@@websterot they'll never admit it was Vax related. But she's only 20 yrs old.
Not seeing family is a benefit.
These are the fabulous people we had to serve with. The hard part is being professional in an unprofessional environment. They are in all ranks..from E-1 and above
Well said, sometimes the unprofessional ones get promoted above peers. It makes it hard to reenlist for enlisted personnel.
Wouldn't this be a UCMJ violation?
sure seems like it to me as i understood it
@@JamesonsTravels Not under Milley, lol, that's the new generation.
They came to the table with there life. And if they can’t afford to buy a house and a car it’s a waste of time.
My experience, at least in the Army, is that there is the "Big Army" and then there's the people who matter. Sounds harsh but it's true. Half of the people in the Army don't do anything productive.
The young woman who said, "do not go above and beyond, " has no concept of courage and ultimate self-sacrifice and is exactly the kind of person the military do not need. Total liability in an engagement.
fight in a war we have no business to fight in? hell no
@@marcellofunhouse1234 Then gtfo out of the army. No need for conscientious objectors.
It is called work for a reason.
This is why China owns TikTok and plays this propaganda nonstop.
Retired Army Grunt, wouldn’t do a thing different, you get what you put in 100%, if you’re not lazy and like a challenge join, if you’re into TikTok and sitting in the AC all day then go somewhere else.
The govt. produced "progressive" ads which aired prominently for the last 3+ years, they dressed up their vehicles (from humvees to Blackhawks) in rainbow gear, and fly the B|_M and rainbow flag even above the American flag in numerous embassies around the world (see the Embassy in Seoul as an example) - so that sends a message. I'd say they got the TikTok generation they were going after. In the words of a warpigging establishment nepo-baby: "Mission Accomplished!"
18, lower class, cannot afford college, no direction..... this is the stepping stone to: personal growth/ maturity/self-sufficiency/pay check every 2 weeks and make 10 yearsl worth of mistakes while platoon Sgt covers your ass during first 3 years of an enlistment. After you get out GI Bill for college and life experience.
Daddy’s little princess. Mommas baby boy.
So glad I'm retired more and more everyday.
These individuals should never have been in the military. That is why they complain.
Until all zip codes are represented equally and proportional, DO NOT JOIN!!!
These people hate their country to begin with,,
Been in for the last 5 years, it's not worth it
Dear God. That first black lady is a sergeant and leading soldiers.

Yeah, the 1st lady was clowning fools who wanna thug but too scare to serve.- she gets thumbs up! you just have to get past her voice and then you're tracking... 🙂
THESE people are the reasons not to enlist in the military.
there is no honor in the military!
The comments are pretty disappointing. You would think that more people would be in favor of African Americans serving their country as oppose to idk "playing the victim" and rioting/destroying their country
Watch how fast those people turn and run when an enemy attacks our country,
America is screwed.
Why would they stand and fight?
What has the US government done for them?
