Recruitment in our newly woke military is down across every division and the leaders of our armed forces don’t know why or are pretending not to know why.
The reasons are obvious to millions of average of Americans, some who served and even those who did not.
The people who would normally enlist have been demonized by the woke left which the military now celebrates. The COVID vaccine mandates are also playing a role.

When I joined in 1980 it was because I couldn't find anything career oriented in the crummy Jimmy Carter economy. What little I could find was just minimum wage nothing jobs. The military was already doing the woke thing then, and it was a joke. I cant even imagine how bad it must be now. Back then we only had to worship minorities and women. Now adding all the alphabet perverts to the mix must make it much worse, plus they felt quite comfortable ordering the murder shot and denying all religious exemptions. Add to that the fact that we have spent 70 years fighting other peoples' wars. I cannot recommend the military to anyone anymore.

I have three good friends whose grandsons joined the military (2 Army and 1 Marine) who lasted exactly one tour and got out as fast as they could. They have nothing the least bit positive to say about that time of their lives.
They all proudly signed up out of high school to serve their country. Instead of being trained how to fight and use weapons, they were taught how to be "woke", and how to be ashamed of being white. The boy who was a Marine said he actually laughed out loud when they asked him to re-up for a second tour. They were all offered large bonuses to re-up, but there wasn't enough money in the world to make them stay in that horrible environment.
These were the type of young men that would have made great career soldiers / Marine. But lie-berals know that patriotic young men are not going to side with them if we get into Civil War 2. So driving them away is their highest priority. No "confusion", just everything going exactly as planned!!!!!

When the first priority of the military changed from excellence to inclusion, it lost its way and has floundered ever since. If America ever has to fight another war, it might win but only by accident! The Affirmative Action Secy of Def has the same mentality of the little league organization where anyone can play all nine innings no matter if they know how to use the bat and glove.

Two things might have hurt recruitment, 1) vaccine mandates during the pandemic affected the smarter people as a non-starter, and 2) a lot of people in the military, including a lot of leadership, have traditionally been more from the South which tends to be more red state conservative and the limp wristed woke military of today might not attract them.

I'm starting to wonder if Mark Milley enjoys swishing around in nighties, makeup and heels after hours in his private quarters. Sorry, but it doesn't seem like much of a stretch.

I was in Nam and even then we had some morons giving orders. I world refuse the draft now if it where implemented. I can't image being led into a firefight by a totally inept person promoted by the woke agenda.

Get rid of Trump with the Wuhan lab virus, check! Sabotage the military by scaring away strait males and teaching the rest to hate the populace, check! Sabotage the economy, check! Start a nuclear war with Russia and China.... Still in progress.

Our military is a "family business". I'd wager that many who joined had a dad or uncle they admired who had been in. Mine is an Army family and I did join the Army.
This what it looks like when those older men tell the younger men not to join. And I think it is for a variety of reasons, not just wokeness and vaccines. For me, it is the realization that America sends people off to fight wars that have no impact on daily life in America regardless of whether we win or lose.

I was helping fill out a military request form the other day and one of the questions was, “were you born a man?” Honest to God. Almost fell out of my chair.
Were you born a man indeed.

The leaders are not clueless. The left has taken over the military with the racial, diversity, and equity hoax. It is the Republicans that are clueless.

I was so ashamed watching that Marine general at the hearings yesterday. How the mighty USMC has fallen. He happened to be black too, which made it even worse. I remember the days when a black Marine general was rare. He sounded like a fool.

Why would anyone want to fight and possibly die for a country when its "leaders" on the Dem side constantly attack it as the worst country in the history of the world?

Some of the "slower" leaders are clueless over fewer recruits. However, I believe the upper echelons of the military know exactly what they are doing. They're being good commies by sabotaging this country's military.

If you have any doubts about how this decay started you need look no further than Obama and his purge of the military followed by placing yes men and lap dogs in positions of military leadership. I'm old enough to remember when the military was integrated by order of Harry Truman. The biggest complaint at that time was broken pieces of curly hair in sinks. We managed to get past that ignorance, but I fear until we get a president who will clean house of Obama clones in the military we are fully on that proverbial slippery slope to ruin.

Has it occurred to anyone that the number of kids interested in a military hitch has greatly decreased since the latest "Great War", Iraq and Afghanistan? The post-9/11 patriotic frenzy is over. The airwaves full of appeals for money to support wounded veterans featured with missing limbs and other terrible wounds. Think young men respond positively to that? American youth is generally uninterested in "nationalism", those with the wherewithal to travel preferring to see themselves as "Citizens of the World". They are largely physically inactive and unused to any sort of privation, immune to the idea of sacrifice. Have you seen recent recruiting ads? It's mostly about public service in disaster times. Or, a military parade that would be a credit to the People's Army.
It's time for Americans to wise up, and for the military to self-examine its assets and deployment in an era of lower birthrates and lesser "patriotism", not to mention higher basic mental/educational standards for enlistment. The future is increased use drones, robotics, pilotless control-by-wire(less) equipment from tanks to places to ships.

#16. If someone would find the video of Obama saying he would have his own army as big as the USA's. The border will supply that. Anyone that thinks Biden is running this country is a damned fool!

I was drafted in 1968 serving in the uniform of the Army as my uncles had done in WWII. I was very proud. Today if there was a draft for the woke imbecilis in our government I would fight to keep my grandchildren out. Let the warmonger, neocons send their families or even go themselves so they would have 'skin in the game'. Let Hunter Biden go first along with Lindsey Graham. With military leadership with the likes of chow hound General Milley and AA Austin it would be best to stay home. American blood shed on foreign soil is not where this nation needs to be. The battle line is our southern border not a border in Ukraine.

The US military is training to attack US citizens that Democrats have branded as "domestic terrorists, i.e., those who object to totalitarian socialism.
The US military is addicted to perpetual foreign wars & meddling in none of our business.
The US military is now Woke as a result of Obama's fundamental transformation.
I no longer support the US military. I am happy to see that young people are waking up and not signing up. .

We could all give these morons a long list of causes, especially those of us who served in the real military, but they would promptly throw it in the "misinformation" basket.

It's all part of the communist/marxist/socialist plan. Call it what you want, but it's all the same people who hate this country destroying it from within. Look at how many things are happening at once. Our borders, our economy, our society, our educational system, banking, inflation, crime, climate change, foreign policy and the gay/trans agenda. All hitting us at the same time and hitting us hard. Has anybody bothered to connect the dots. The communist manifestos of Marx and Lenin, all the same, create chaos within the system until it collapses. And they even stole the presidency. Anybody wonder why this has all happened within the last two years under Biden, a mentally incompetent stooge controlled by communists. Think about it.

After watching Afghanistan (and Viet Nam before it), there's no way I'd let anyone I cared about join the military.

#11, it used to be that the Marines would turn boys into men. Now, they turn them into girls.
