After completely bending the knee to woke ideology and gutting itself with unconstitutional mandates that forced an experimental and dangerous vaccine, the US Military is taking the hacksaw to the standards that are used to find and train new recruits as the Armed Forces struggle through what some officials are calling the “most challenging recruiting year ever.”
In addition to lowering almost every single physical qualification for new recruits to pass their initial training, the US Army has now dropped its requirement that recruits must have a high school diploma or a G.E.D. degree

I graduated from high school back when Jimmy Carter was President. I never considered the military as an option and did not know anyone else who did. Who the Commander in Chief is and his support or lack of support for the military makes a big difference to military recruitment.

Don't need a diploma but must use the correct woke pronouns.

So, you can't read, can't do basic math, and you don't know what Juneteenth is.................. that last one could disqualify you.

Don't they also now recruit drug users and dope smokers to make their quotas?

Parents and their kids research their choices for post high school opportunities...over the last 18 months they have seen the military treat their citizen soldiers as Serfs... mandatory jabs of an experimental vaccine that doesn't work....and mandatory CRT training that is soft Marxism....they will not volunteer for an organization that abuses them and poisons their bodies and their minds

During the Clinton administration, one of my retired military coworkers told me he wouldn't allow either of his children to enlist in the military "as long as Bill Clinton is President."

I don't think it mattered when cannon fodder was needed by greasy haired Robert McNamarra and Gen. Westmorland during the Vietnam draft so it shouldn't matter now. There's a rule about body art tattoos have to be covered up by the Army uniform maybe they could change that to face, neck and hand tattoos allowed for an incentive. Have the Army look like a pack of gangsta thugs going to war. How are they going to learn their woke pronouns when they won't know what a pronoun is? FJB the Vegetable in Chief.

You don’t need a GED, just be LGBTQWERTY and you’ll do AOK in Biden’s military.

This may be positive news if it means that Biden and his mediocre at best Pentagon heads cannot get us into WWIII. We have CIA teams in Ukraine, with the next step surely Green Beret advisors. If we can’t field more than the 100,000 troops Biden has deployed to NATO countries, then we might not be able to send Army & Marine battalions into Ukraine to fight the invading Russians.
If Biden’s spokes person can easily lie that our “border is closed”, imagine how she will lie about Americans fighting in Ukraine.

LGBTQPedo will get you in. Tattoos over 50% of the body will get you a commission. Bonus points if you're a chick. Even more if you used to be.

I worked as a civilian contractor in the Middle East for the army. Let me tell you that even many of those with high school diplomas could barely get their shoes on the right feet and tie them.

So what. They already dropped the requirement not to be certifiably insane with gender dysphoria.

No longer "the best and the brightest". Now the "dumbest and the weirdest".

They've been itching to bring back the draft for years.

Why risk the lives of brainy people when you can use illiterates as cannon fodder?

By all means, the Military should seek out the lowest common denominator and provide weapons training. Should make life on the poor side of town very interesting.

Back in the 60's, many 'cruits were referred by the judiciary. Maybe your second arrest for shoplifting or car burglary will get you a government paid trip to ft. jackson like the old days.

When the Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, General Milley, is an overweight, woke, obsequious to Democrats time-server, we can expect little else than gutter sweepings into the mlitary.
