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.
Nazis following the playbook.
All those men are now enemy combatants
This is an abomination.
Put it in the pile with the others.
So the Roman Empire is selling military appointments to the highest bidder again. Oh joy of joys.
Nothing can go wrong when your military is corporate sponsored. /s

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)?

In another thread about this, people were calling this fake because of the source.

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.
I assume they are going to be given the rank of commissar.
All ist klar?
Oh-ho!
