On the Positive side, it makes it easier to rent out the US Army to Foreigners fighting Foreign Wars, and it makes it easier to order the US Army to fire on Americans.

Winning the war against racist colonizers.

[HighSierra5]

Their plan is proceeding perfectly.

Only 6%?
Have a feeling that it’s higher than that....way higher.
I’ve talked two of my young nephews to stay away from the military, and both of em have pursued different career paths.

Meaningless stat unless we know data for other races.

Charlie McCarthy authored the article and he is not a shill or disinformant like Associated Presstitutes and Sewer Rooters.

It may be low and the actual percentage is hidden by the Army, but I believe Newsmax and Mc Carthy are above board, here.

Your suspicion should be investigated.

Its happening all over the Neo-marxist West

“Meanwhile, the percentage of Black and Hispanic recruits rose from 2018 to 2023:

Black recruits went from 20% to 24%.
Hispanic recruits went from 17% to 24%.
White recruits went from 56.4% to 44%.”

The overall shortfall of recruits is the issue, not the demographics of those who are willing to serve their country.

Stats from 2018 to 2023:

Black recruits went from 20% to 24%.

Hispanic recruits went from 17% to 24%.

White recruits went from 56.4% to 44%.

[Navy Patriot]

Both are the issue.

In my family four generations of men have served. from WWI to Iraq/Afganistan. No more.

[teeman8r]

i don’t think the math is right?

25000 instead of 44000?

6% per year for a total of 19000?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You told us that we were "problematical".

We didn't sign up.

You should be happy. But nothing except, whine, moan and complain.

I believe the correct response concludes with "And the horse you rode in on".

Have a nice day.

Why serve a country that allows itself be overrun by invaders and has become a hotbed of Marxism.

[Navy Patriot]

LOL!

[flamberge]

These are all people who will be eventually ordered to shoot fellow Americans. Most of them will follow those orders.

A military force staffed with diversity hires will have no real competence at fighting wars and will only get themselves slaughtered if they go there. But they may still be able to run domestic concentration camps to the satisfaction of our rulers.

Maybe we really should not have a large standing army.

[Navy Patriot]

Pardon me, Mark Swanson authored this Newsmax article, not Charlie McCarthy.

However my comments still stand he's also a good guy. Sorry for the mixup.

[CMailBag]

I’m surprised it isn’t worse than 6 %...

The overall shortfall of recruits is the issue, not the demographics of those who are willing to serve their country.

White enlistees typically come from military families.

Likely that grandpa served, dads, moms, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters served.

These veterans are the people telling their relatives NOT to enlist because of the current command climate.

I am one of those veterans steering young people not to enlist.

Not under this President ! Not under this military leadership!

Not so they can die for no reason in some 3rd world shit hole.

Not after what I saw in the Afghanistan cut and run.

The current administration has nothing but scorn for white, male, Christian service members and potential recruits. They endlessly shout about "white supremacy" and exclude white/male/Christians from promotions. It makes no sense to work for an "employer" with that kind of attitude. There are better places to work. When the bad attitude is reflected in disappointing recruitment of white males, they whine like pigs. Let them stew in the consequences of their policies.
