    Yep, but those who resign for moral reasons will be more likely to take actual actions to protest/stop what’s happening

    No. They won’t. Or, to be more blunt, the people who would actually be useful won’t. Because they are the ones who understand the world isn’t Call of Duty and a single guy with a pistol isn’t actually going to Jack Bauer his way through an entire armed escort.

    The military will have a hard time recruiting competent people

    They already do. That is why the military is dumb as a door knob and full of the kind of people who just want an excuse to shoot some folk whether they are brown or not.

    This will then trickle down, and suddenly, you have officers who have been O-3s for just a couple of years being promoted to O-4 rather than waiting longer and gaining experience.

    Oh, well then. That will solve everything.

      Breathe. We will get through this, and how is question worth considering, as the commenter above did. If you need to share this burden of despair with someone, my DMs are open.

      The ASVAB was pretty basic when I took it. Fortunately, a health condition at the time kept me from basic.
