The US military went woke, now it can't find recruits
Israel National News ^ | 07/04/2022 | Daniel Greenfield

The Army is at only 40% of its recruiting numbers for the fiscal year despite raising its maximum enlistment bonus from $40,000 to $50,000. It now offers new recruits up to $10,000 for showing up to basic training in 30 days. And is no longer even asking them for a high school diploma.

"We've never offered $50,000 to join the Army," Maj. Gen. Kevin Vereen, head of U.S. Army Recruiting Command, said.

While the Army runs anime lesbian wedding ads, it’s pushing away the recruits it needs, young patriotic men from traditional backgrounds. When the Biden administration’s brass decided to mandate vaccinations, they automatically rejected the 60% of potential recruits who aren’t.

By Obama’s second term, male Army ROTC cadets were being forced to march in women’s high heels. Under Biden, that escalated to mandatory transgender pronoun training while figuring out living arrangements for men who suddenly decide that they’re really women.

The Army has stopped worrying about winning wars and is instead working to establish the “Army as a global leader in DEI”. That’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Obama's Army Secretary Eric Fanning’s had already ordered mandatory implicit bias training for “soldiers and employees in senior leadership and management positions”. The Army is now preparing for the prospect of accommodating men in women’s housing and deploying HIV positive men.

While the Army brass complains that it can't find recruits, even with gay wedding ads, transgender housing and HIV positive deployment, it's been kicking out unvaccinated soldiers…

There used to be a slogan about joining the military that went something like "They will make a man out of you."

Now that has apparently changed to "They will make a sissy out of you."

How will that new slogan appeal to the red-blooded American males who used to take pride in signing up for the armed services?

When I joined the Marine Corps in 1979 while I was still in high school, everybody around me treated me with more respect, especially the older folks who would take me aside and give me advice as well as telling me I was doing the right thing. When I got to boot camp, I made sure I got through it because I felt that I would be letting everybody back home down if I washed out.

Nowadays new recruits are likely to hear jeers like "Better get used to walking in high heels" and "I hear they are going to come out with pink camouflage uniforms."

If the military thought they were going to appeal to young men of signing age by going "woke", they made a big mistake. Men don't join the military to learn how to apply makeup and explore their feminine side.

Plus one gets forced into the experimental jab which may or may not screw up your immune system and may or may not kill you.

All under the threat of the UCMJ.

What’s not to like?

The Establishment Is Running Out of Cannon Fodder for Its Woke Military

Town Hall | 4 July 2022 | Kurt Schlichter
Posted on 7/5/2022, 8:41:26 AM by Rummyfan

Jump out of a perfectly good airplane, charge a machine gun nest, be stationed at Ft. Irwin – these are just three of the myriad miseries American patriots are willing to endure to defend our country.

Today’s military is asking too much of our young people, as evidenced by the crashing recruitment rates that threaten to deplete a military already running short of soldiers.

Have our young people suddenly turned from heroes to zeros, ne’er-do-well heirs of the brave warriors who confronted the forces of tyrannical gun control at Lexington and Concord?

No. The kids are alright. The problems lie echelons above.

The reluctance to enlist of the traditional, normal Americans, who are most likely to serve and who are the most desirable for service, is entirely rational.

You do have an obligation to serve your country in some way, the military being the highest and best way for those who are able.

But you do not have an obligation to do so if your life is going to be squandered by a leadership whose strategies are a disaster! Whose priorities are not the defense of this country but some sort of bizarre pan-global progressive ideology…

(De-militarization of the USA is a long term globalist goal)

The Globalists can’t have a New World Order and have a sovereign United States of America.

The Bible indicates that they will be successful.

Daniel 7:23

The Bible also indicates that they will pledge their allegiance to Satan’s anti-messiah.

Despite being warned of an eternal Lake of Fire in Revelation 14.

These things must surely happen.

✝️🙏🛐

Yeah, destroy military discipline and morale until no one is willing to volunteer and those who are in get out as soon as possible. Then what? Do you think that they are just going to give up the power that the US military gives them?

Hmm, where can we find large numbers of (primarily) young, unemployed males to fill our ranks??? Oh wait, how about all those illegal aliens that we released into the interior??? Give them a path to citizenship and they will be willing to fight for us. Even against US citizens...

Hope I’m wrong, but I think I’m beginning to see a pattern here. And, it ain’t pretty.

No, a draft isn't workable: rich boys have been evading the draft since the Civil War, either by buying their way out of it, or going to college.

Don't forget, we elected an admitted draft dodger back in the 90s.

The old movie with (basically) U.N. troops enforcing the Mark of the Beast may not have been too far off.

Forget the chicoms and Russia, with the ponce-infested U.S. military we now have to worry about losing a war with Honduras, Panama Costa Rica, Ecuador, or El Salvador...

Most of their citizens are already inside the U.S. shredding the economy and culture...

I’m trying to understand, what kind of person in their right mind would be willing to fight and die for this fraudulent government, full of lying corrupt misfits.

The way I’m interrupting that situation is that the NWO fails and then Satan is cast out of heaven to play his role as the fake Christ. Then he revitalizes it. Woe to those on earth. Ukraine could be the deadly blow that triggers it, will have to wait and see.
