    Now is a good time to invade Murica

    Only 29% of Generation Z eligible for military service

    Of people ages 17 to 24, almost 71%, or 24 million out of 34 million, are ineligible to join the military because of obesity, lack of high school diploma, or a criminal record, according to Pentagon data.

    Really spitting the dummy . . .

    After explaining that Serbia is under terrible and undeserved pressure of the European Union, the former Minister of Defence announced in September that Serbia was introducing a moratorium, i.e. cessation of military exercises with all partners.
    “In the coming period, we will not participate in any exercises or military activities, not with NATO, not with CSTO, not with Russia or the U.S., not with China, not with the European Union, neither with the East nor the West.
    Serbia has no plan of military activities for 2021 because of the moratorium on military exercises? - European Western Balkans

    Why? Don't the Serbians have a good experience with NATO, EU, to name just few?

    According to Aleksandar Radić, the decision on moratorium is, among other things, the reason why Serbia did not use NATO capacities during the pandemic, to which it was entitled even though it is not a member.
    The Serbians are obviously not so clever as the other 27 states of NATO who do not fear the pandemic at their annual Defender-Europe 2021 exercise, no problem of gathering of 6 like on Phuket...

    MAY 5, 2021

    The annual Defender-Europe 2021 exercise distinguished visitor day, hosted by Albania yesterday, was attended by the Albanian President and Prime Minister, the U.S. Ambassador to Albania Yuri Kim and three four-star U.S. generals: U.S. European Command commander, Gen. Tod Wolters; U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa commander, Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian; and U.S. Army Europe and Africa commanding general, Gen. Christopher Cavoli, Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby said today.

    Defender-Europe is an annual, large-scale U.S. Army-led, multinational, joint exercise designed to build readiness and interoperability among U.S., NATO and partner militaries.

    "This was the first time that Joint Logistics Over the Shore was conducted in Europe since World War II," the press secretary noted. "This was [also] the first time Albania has hosted a U.S.-led, multinational exercise." The Defender Europe 2021 exercise runs through June with more than 28,000 participating personnel from 26 countries. During the next two weeks, the exercise will conduct events in Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary and Romania.

    Those numbers and controls are for people who voluntarily enlist YD. In a time of war there is a call to arms and all those mandates get shelved. Us "Muricans" as you say are always loaded with weapons. All we would need is a reason to point them at invaders. But in these times, infantry is a dated war approach. There is way to much technology now and this would be fought with drones and long range strategic missile systems so being fat would have no bearing. . You strike me as someone who listens and believes Fox News.........
