@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @freepatriot That's why those 40,000 white recruits are missing. Most of those guys come from long time military families; people who were proud patriots, true believers, people who took things like honor, the Constitution, and the value of service to ideals seriously. Now that all the things they and their forefathers fought for have been proven to be lies and the people they fought for proven to be evil, they've noped out.

Those corn fed Southern and Mid-West white boys made up the bulk of the actual war fighters. You can staff the support positions with disinterested people motivated by a paycheck or boredom, but the people at the tip of the spear have to be true believers. It's kind of hard to keep an empire going with little more than faithless mercenaries paid for on a near maxed out credit card.
