50. Starting after high school? 2 years?

Tue Sep 30, 2025, 05:14 PM

Tuesday

Since white males are now a small minority
in this country... and if the military is white
male only... I see a bit of a problem there.

I presume all POC will be slaves, all white
women gestation machines or slaves,
and some white men as owners and overlords.

But I do not see the country as being able to
be even close to properly defended or able
to compete economically with the rest of the
world.

Amirite?
