Are Enlistments Plummeting Because the Military Is Now a Woke Joke?
New American ^ | August 5, 2022 | Selwyn Duke

America has come to a point in our history when we can no longer field a sufficiently sized military is the tragic consequence of poor leadership and WOKE policies of President Joe Biden, Pentagon incompetence, elitists who rule the Democrat Party, Marxist college professors and leftist ideologues who control our public schools,

“Why would anyone taught since kindergarten to hate America want to serve in our military? Why would anyone who idolizes professional athletes for kneeling during our national anthem want to serve in a military uniform?”

Why would you want to work in a place with a boss that hates you?

It’s like the old joke “if the Marine Corps wanted you to have a wife they would have issued you one.” Well now they are. His name is Sue.

A little yes. But it’s more that the job opportunities are vast. Florida and other places are hiring teachers with high school diplomas. Desperate companies are offering big bucks with little education and experience. Wages are going up. Military cannot compete right now. Two years from now, the job market will tighten and they will reverse the loose requirements. It’s how the economy works.

Maybe Milley likes little boys and skinny men causing him to push being woke?

That’s why a draft is inevitable.

America’s military “leaders” clearly believe that being “woke” gives American troops an advantage on the battlefield as our enemies’ generals and field commanders will now consider which pronouns to use before launching an attack lest the enemy be called out for being “insensitive”.

The only way it would be an advantage is if when the enemy sees these freaks they leave themselves open to attack because they are rolling on the ground laughing their asses off.

Hopefully this will restrain us from foreign entanglements.

In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.

Recruiting video for Chinese, Russian and US military.

Comment underneath video:

"The Chinese ad makes me want to join the Chinese army.

The Russian ad makes me want to join the Russian army.

The USA ad makes me want to join the Chinese or the Russian army."

Not a joke, a dangerous organization to individuals. Liberalism isn’t funny, and it can greatly harm someone’s life in the military.

I don't wear any military ball caps anymore. I am embarrassed to let anyone know I served for 30 years.

Sometimes when people recognize I am former military (Truck license plate, haircut, etc) and thank me for my service I wonder to my self, "Thanks for what? To let the communists take over our government? To witness people trash the Constitution that I swore to protect?

It is sickening.

Straight White Males have been the backbone of the military for two and a half centuries.

The Military gets fully half of its recruits from the South.

Now ask yourself, who do the wokeratti HATE with a burning passion more than Straight White Southern Males? Absolutely nobody.

So the military adopts that ideology and now they can’t meet their recruiting goals and its only getting worse. Well, Duh. That’s what happens when you attack your key constituency.

Imagine: The Company Commander who looks like Maryriln Manson, whose stage face is said to resemble a mix of Bela Lagosi and early David Bowie.
You may get written up just for laughing at how ridiculous and out of place he looks.

They implement a draft and I can see a bunch of people proclaiming themselves to be to the Right of Atilla the Hun in order to get out of it.

Recruiter: “so what is your worldview?”

Potential draftee: “I hate fags and trannies, I’m getting the stars and bars tattooed on my chest and I think all Commies should die.”

Recruiter: “You’re excused from military service.”
