Great, more PowerPoint soldiering, that’ll help.
Well, on the plus side, if you do get conscripted you might be able to intimidate your officer, as they will be an unfit nerd and not a warrior. Fragging no longer needed.
Great, so they’re legitimate non-civilian targets.
As Task & Purpose notes, the men will get to skip the usual process of taking a Direct Commissioning Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, and they won’t need to complete the Army Fitness Test.
Isn’t one of the stated reasons behind restricting trans people and women in certain roles that they would have to change the fitness standards (even though that’s a lie)?
Are you suggesting this administration gives a sweet flying fuck about rules, logic, or law?
This is an abomination.
Put it in the pile with the others.
All quiet on the frontal lobe.
Nothing can go wrong when your military is corporate sponsored. /s

The new reservists will serve for about 120 hours a year, according to the Wall Street Journal, and will have a lot of flexibility to work remotely.
The comments on that page are also good.

"They’ll work on helping the Army acquire more commercial tech, though it’s not clear how conflict-of-interest issues will be enforced, given the fact that the people all work for companies that would conceivably be selling their wares to the military. "

Next step is for Trump to fire the Generals and replace them with Maga CEO’s.
Today’s joke, tomorrow’s realit- wait, that’s basically what they’re doing now. I’m sure when the Palantir slug disagrees with the General, it’s going to the slug.
Nazis following the playbook.
All those men are now enemy combatants
America gets one step closer to a service aristocracy.
Work hard for 10 years, do a great job, “Sorry, no promotion to Lt Colonel for you, we gave it to Trump’s friend.”
So the Roman Empire is selling military appointments to the highest bidder again. Oh joy of joys.
I assume they are going to be given the rank of commissar.
All ist klar?
Oh-ho!
Get used to it. The United States of America has become something we won’t recognize.
