I could have linked to the image of the letter, but am not sure what the source policy of that is. So go to link and read the letter and the comments of those on the forum.

A comment stated:

The Army missed their recruiting goals by 15,000 this year.

The mandatory Covid19 Jab has a backlash factor. DC is stupid and evil at the top in some places.

How about you clean up their records unilaterally and automatically instead of all the application and red tape crap? How about then you write each of them a nice letter telling them you have expunged their records of all covid related references and that they have an honorable discharge with an invitation to convert that to enlistment with return to rank, credit for all intervening time and back pay?

I didn't think so. Not that sorry are they ?

BTW, I HOPE general hope gets fired for failure in her job of recruiting. https://www.gomo.army.mil/public/Biography/usa-10933/hopec-rampy

Here's wishing DoD all the worst.

How many of the millions illegals will be recruited?

There’s plenty of issues why the army didn’t meet it’s quota, my nephew refused to reenlist because it had become too woke and his brother would be he’s a twenty year man with six years to go.

No army for straight white men.

Mel Brooks has been a great source of cultural shibboleths, eh?

This comes at the same time as the woke recruiting ads have been scrapped. The election is approaching, so it’s time to wag the dog to save Biden’s bacon.

They have quotas for promotions, that is yet another reason to decline service.

The only sure way to get even a fraction of those former military back would be to shower them with money, the reasoning would not be important, only the amount matters.

I joined the Army in 1981 during a recession still recovering from the Carter mismanagement. I found the place I was supposed to be, even doing beyond expert on a range hitting others 300 meter targets after hitting my own using up surplus ammunition, and rescuing people from a CS gas situation while breathing that crap after putting my own mask on a suffering fellow. It’s amazing what you can do with tears and snot flowing out of you.

Unrecognized and I was too humble to bring it up, thinking most others would do the same under such duress. Fortunately the VA has done a fantastic job rebuilding me as much as they can with no financial costs (about half a million from my rough estimates) that would bury the average citizen with debts they couldn’t possibly cover.

So I’m still working thanks to all the operations while technically disabled (a good parking place, Yay!) but am a modern Harpo Marx using a tech writing board to convey concepts too hard to mime. And we all know...

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

If I had to do it again, I would not do it. A destroyer is cramped enough. I don’t need to see two guys making out.

The biggest reason people aren’t enlisting now is Critical Race Theory indoctrination.

Good people don’t want to be accused of being racists and go through the BS.

Unit cohesion must be at rock bottom right now.
