That's depressive. USA need to become autocratic that is controlled by the white male veteran home owners to purge the corruptions to make the US military great again.
So, what went wrong?

They are in the wrong area and everything went downhill.

Can confirm. The situation will ease itself (at least in the trades and lower half of the "now needs a bachelor" industries) as boomers die off, but right now…
HVAC already has 13% growth and it's gonna double over the next decade as old HVAC technicians die off or retire.
Electrical techs are in the same boat, but since our job is less hazardous it's actually more hazardous but the price of a fuckup is immediate death rather than slow toxic death, so we're more cautious we're not gonna see the figures HVAC is seeing for another decade or so.
Welding is basically fucked because no one will hire apprentice welders whereas all the journeyman/master welders don't want to take them on because while they want the extra help/extra money, in the short-term it will mean working pretty much two jobs until the apprentice welder is up-to-snuff which can be anywhere from a month or two up to a year or two depending on the type and quality of welding work they do and how shitty the apprentice welder is.
Construction is similarly fucked because the recession made them all swap to other jobs in other trade fields (or get a bachelors), so most of the workers won't come back, or will only come back for temp contract work in the summer when they bring in $10k/week in overtime and contract work as a supervisor of some sort. Everyone's still wary of the recession shit happening again despite the increase in wages (especially in the construction electrician field which pretty much told all of their apprentices to eat cock) so they have to import a bunch of illegals to get shit done/are requiring everyone to know Spanish now.
CAD/Machining is oversaturated because their industry can be outsourced to India and China but all of the cheap work goes to the Philippines surprisingly enough.
The rest of the industry from pharmacy technicians and EMTs to scuba diving-related work has their own problems to deal with between the bachelors bullshit and increased cost of living/education with very little increase in pay.
I'm one of those faggots who's waiting for the boomers to die off and who's laughing at these stupid companies that are hiring engineers to do technician work and wondering why they can't fill the positions/why the engineers are doing such a shitty job/spending all day doing calculations to fix a fucking broken solenoid or calculating out price to change out the silver leads on auxiliary connectors/latches for the giant electric motors or worse, cleaning the silver oxide off the plates like dumb fucks. Probably gonna end up joining the military since I'm getting shit pay anyways right now doing manufacturing work that may or may not collapse before the boomers die off/retire, and which only partially translates into technician work that I'm trained how to/know how to do. I remember back in high school we had military folks trying to convince dumbasses to go in as an E-1 instead of getting a trade skill "degree" at the community college and then going into the military as an E-3. None of them now can figure out why the military wouldn't let them serve a second (or third) contract when they were getting out as E-3s/E-4s and couldn't get jobs because they took stupid shit like infantry betting on a military retirement instead of picking up a real rating. Military lied through their teeth and told us all back in high school that the ASVAB was equivalent in importance to the ACT/SAT tests. I mean I guess someone has gotta do infantry and other grunt jobs, but I never got how these dumb fucks could fail the ASVAB or get under a 70% when it's designed to let anyone with half a brain get through with good enough scores for 95% of the job postings that don't require special clearance/training/background checks.

In retrospect I apologize for the blog post.

A few years in the military beats college if you have clear goals and go into a rating based on those goals so you have job experience. Being able to look a foreman or factory boss in the eye and say "yeah I served at X base or on Y ship or in Z war" goes a long way and instantly covers for any shortcomings in your training. In terms of anything at the bachelors level or above, the only benefit the military has on job experience are them there veteran tax credits (subject to go away or change at any moment) and free college (also subject to the same standard). At the bachelor level and above you're usually talking with some HR cunt instead of the guy who's probably your direct or one-removed supervisor.

Damn. Here they are in High school and at least half of my class aint graduating granted they are niggers. But instead of being useful they be joining the military or just crying for gibbs.
I'm trying to join the medical field. After all, we need doctors to pull that bullet out of your ass when 1776 hits again
You guys are lucky. I physically cannot due to bad eyesight and previous injury. Also, chink families will fucking murder you for joining the military.

Funnily enough, electronics classes at the CC level were easier than high school classes for me. High school made me do all sorts of stupid "critical thinking" exercises and write about 20+ pages worth of essays every week whereas my electronics training/degree just required me to watch a few safety videos/"this is what we're doing and why we're troubleshooting this" projector slides, and then everything was hands-on working with live motor control panels/PLCs/HMI interfaces, or circuitboards. It's a good feeling when you can intuitively look at a bottlecapping machine and explain exactly what is happening where both in the PLC program and with the electricity flowing through it. I really wish they kept the pathways programs that let people do an "associates of applied science" their junior/senior year of high school in a trade skill so they had an AAS or were only a semester or two away from obtaining it when they got their diploma. I fucking love niggers working in electrical because they either die within a year from doing something stupid and running high voltage straight across their heart niggers have bad hearts apparently to boot or they get their shit together and become respectable adults after watching a nigger electrocute himself (or getting lucky and getting away with only a heart attack or 3rd degree burns from their clothes catching on fire in an arc flash making them respect being alive more). Don't remember where I was going with this, but sometimes putting a pair of wire cutters or a wrench in a nigger/spic's hands and putting them to work like a dog is a quick way to make them value education while also making them cut that shit out/act respectable (on the job/around coworkers at least). It's a weird effect that you don't see too often since they usually just jump straight for the welfare gibs or college degree gibs playing the race card. I'm not sure if I'd call it the "massa effect" or maybe the "slave hypothesis" or something along those lines. Putting a nigger to work makes him not nig as much.

They took out all the pratical shit for HS classes. Classes filled of how to muh java script but no "what the fuck is a computer 101"
Also, muh intergrated electronics fucked us over. We don't do jack shit on writing now. We spend fucking hours making the exact same outline but with muh fancy SJW graphics.
Man. Feels good to have grandparrents that can teach you that shit

It's not just high school. It's gotten to the point where I'd rather hire some autist who taught himself programming over someone with a CS degree. I've had actual CS graduates not know how to write anything in C. I've had actual CS graduates write programs with blatant use-after-free or buffer overflow bugs, and when I tell them "hey, you know there's a use-after-free there, right?" they look at me as if I'm speaking Greek. I ask them to write a program to send user data over the wire securely, and they make some shit that "secures" the information by advancing each letter by one. Why not just use TLS? 'What's TLS?' they say.
I shit you not, I had a nigger write a program in C that was supposed to iterate through an array and write to it. He couldn't figure out how to into for loops, so he just wrote the program so that it started a new thread, and the thread did an infinite while loop that would iterate through the array forever. I asked him what the fuck that was supposed to do since the loop would never stop and it was an obvious buffer overflow, and I shit you not, he just said that once the loop got to the last spot in the array it would try to go to the next spot, the thread would crash, and the rest of the program would be fine because the crashed thread would be a separate thread and all the required data would be written in, so the other thread would function just fine.
In my experience, hiring is determined by femcunts that don't know how computers work either. So they just hire whoever is cheapest (because the corporate suits don't give a shit how buggy the software is "so long as our competitors aren't better") and whoever ticks the diversity boxes. And these people write programs. Not inconsequential "hello world" shit either, but actual operating systems code, drivers, and internet applications.
When I was a young teenager just getting into programming, I was interested in researching malware. I wondered how virus writers were able to keep finding new exploits. Surely at some point we'd find most of them and the loopholes would be closed, and we'd have somewhat safe software. Now I know why I was wrong.

Gurkhas are living proof that you do not rise to the occasion, but fall to your level of training.
here's the thing: US special forces are commandos. meaning they focus on performing one solid mission at a time and their success rate is directly proportional to the amount of prep time they do and the level of operational support they have. when cought flat-footed like they did here they're no better or worse than any other soldiers, only, because of their specialization, they lack the numbers and a lot of the organic equipment a line platoon would have. no weapons squads, no multiple squads of soldiers, no artillery support. just a handful of staff NCOs with M4s, and like i said, their success is directly proportional to their prep time and operational support. if they have none of either they are pretty well and proper FUCKED.
