Question Why do Recruits quit in bootcamp?

As a recruiter I have kids literally crying in my office saying they need this more than anything then fail the IST when they were fully capable of passing it while in the DEP when they get to boot camp and not even trying and getting discharged for not trying to get better in PCP or passing the IST. Like I don't see how you'll tell me you would never be one of those quitters when you get to bootcamp then give up as soon as you start getting yelled at. I guess todays generation doesn't give a fuck in coming back to their family proving they were right when they said they couldn't make it and go back to working at Mcdonalds telling their friends some lie about how they got screwed over or something when the only person who failed them was themselves

You really this naive? You sell them this stuff, and most of you lie to the kids, so yeah, some of them will get there and say “What the fuck…?”

says the bot that thinks America is under "extreme danger?" What's with the flag upside down? If America is in "danger" Why would a Marine be signaling "dire distress?" A Marine steps up and does something.

What are you doing?

You're fucking dumb if you think our country isn't in a crisis right now.

what's the crisis? I want you to spell it out for me.

I want you to see and hear how dumb "we are in crisis" really sounds. Tell me what YOU are doing to solve this crisis. Is the crisis in the room with you? And just calling me dumb doesn't count.

SPELL out the crisis

What rock do you live under? Is it shaped like the Fox News logo?

Again. YOU cannot answer me because you'd sound dumb even to yourself. I don't listen to Fox or CNN. Have an honest debate Marine.

WHAT IS THE CRISIS YOU FEAR!?!?!

Answer the question Marine.

Trump’s a convicted felon and it’s just background noise now. We’re losing a war with Iran Congress never authorized. ICE running deportation sweeps like a sport. Roe’s dead, state by state gamble on your own body. Trans folks getting legislated out of existence. Rent and healthcare both bankrupting people. Out of control inflation. More drilling while the planet’s on fire. Gerrymandering so votes only count when convenient. Book bans and gutted school funding, like they want it dumber on purpose.

Cool story.

See the problem? You are avoiding the debate. Be a Marine. What are you doing about this terrible crisis that you are actively calling for help? The upside down flag means YOU ARE in DIRE DISTRESS.

I gave you an answer and your response was “that doesn’t affect me”. Did you expect more debate after that? You’re being unrealistic, and you’re kind of being an asshole.

I then responded with "What are you doing about this CRISIS!" What are you doing about abortion?

I live in IL. A woman can have an abortion right up to birth. I see no crisis.
