When in a bad peace, prepare for war and not Biden scaring you about Climate Change being the biggest threat. Our biggest threat is our current leadership making you feel bad about yourself and teaching Critical Race Theory at the Service Academies when our enemies laugh at our weak leadership. Be prepared!

Zero excuse for any active duty soldier to let that happen to themselves. If you live in on-post housing, get a home gym. Doesn’t have to cost a ton, get little by little. If you live off-post, same thing. If you live in the barracks, just get a set of dumbbells and kettlebell. If you can’t afford those, chances are you’re living beyond your means. The reality is they didn’t prioritize fitness, and that’s one of the most important things we get paid to do. Control the controllables.
