Army and navy drop requirement for high school diploma or GED. Guess who doesn’t have those? All these migrants from all around the world. They’re laying the groundwork to fill the military with migrants.

The Armed Forces can only reflect the nation they serve. Today over 60% of the graduates of urban high schools are functionally illiterate and cannot do or understand basic arithmatic.

The constant lowering the bar. lowering expectations, lowering testing criteria in our (public) educational system is now clearly having direct consequences on our society as a whole. How do you have a proficient military and national defense when the youngest generation doesn’t even know which bathroom to use and has a Tic Toc short attention span addiction.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : That's right, and do you know how far away he was?

Private Snowball : Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!

It could be because schools no longer teach anything.

Drop the education requirement so they don’t have to add back the requirement to be sexually normal.

1. Tell everyone white kids are just too unfit to serve; too fat, too stupid, too criminal, too mentally unbalanced.

2. Tell everyone there is a recruiting shortage coming.

3. Do not enlist whites, slowly process them, discourage them.

4. Claim whites are not enlisting and that is causing a recruitment goal gap.

5. Drop all previous standards and demand to enlist illegal aliens to fill the gap; no English, no education, no test scores, no legal visas or citizenship.

This contradicts the years of explanations for why our technologically advanced military required better-educated recruits.

Does anyone here know what a score of 50 or above on the ASVAB.” (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) means?

I’m beginning to feel a draft around here. It’s all part of the plan. Drive recruitment and retention so low with anti patriot woke weirdness that you must draft to fill our vital needs. A simply majority vote in this warmongering congress brings it back.

1. Draft Authorization: Congress and the President

A national emergency, exceeding the Department of Defense’s capability to recruit and retain its total force strength, requires Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the President to induct personnel into the Armed Forces.

All standards are lowered as the USA descends deeper and deeper into the Decadence of Western Civilization.

Can the decay be reversed?

Yes, but only if the American People wake up to reality--FAST!--and seize control of America and her destiny.

Only the American People can Make America Great Again.

If they fail, America will fall!

According to the Navy’s website today, Jan 26, 2023, a high school diploma is required for enlistees or a 4 year college degree for officers.

https://www.navy.com/joining/requirements

In addition, enlistees must pass the ASVAB and officers must pass the Officer Aptitude Rating test. (I think this is not for all officer candidates, as I did not take any test when I was commissioned in the Army.)

The age for enlistment is between 17 and 41 years old. For officers, the age varies.

A recruit must have US citizenship or legal resident status. And he/she must pass the physical standards.

The requirements are basically what they were when I joined the Navy in 1979, except that the age cut-off was 37 back then.

This is not 1941, when a high school diploma was not nearly as common as today. Of course, anyone who had finished the eighth grade back then had a heck of a lot more good grounding in how to get along in the world than most high school graduates today. The value of that diploma has been so diluted and made meaningless, that it does not signify much of anything today.

The dropouts will prove to be a major disappointment to the Navy. Noncompliant, and even downright lazy, these pieces of human refuse are virtually untrainable in the skill sets needed today for serious military duty.

The draft may yet be necessary to fill the ranks, seizing the youth who would be capable, but never in a million years ever consider a stint in service to their country.

Based on this they’d make perfect officers in today’s military not just enlisted.

Leadership is a handicapped capability, all you need to do is swear your oath to a gender fluid society, get fat so you can be excused from physical fitness because it’s biased against fat people.

From the greatest generation ever to the worst generation ever in 75 years.
