The Pentagon’s top leaders are now scrambling for ways to find new recruits to fill out the ranks of the all-volunteer military. Woke policies are key to dwindling recruit numbers in all branches of the service.
Being a successful military recruiter at times can be difficult, especially over the last couple of years due to inept leadership and woke policies. This has led to a poor recruitment environment not seen since the Vietnam War ended. All branches of the military are currently well under their projected recruitment goals, despite generous enlistment bonuses.
The Army raised its maximum enlistment bonus from $40,000 to $50,000, and now offers new recruits up to $10,000 for showing up to basic training in 30 days. The Navy is right in step with the Army, offering incentives of up to $50,000 to qualified recruits depending upon the program and position sought. Even the Air Force, which usually never offers enlistment incentives due to receiving ample applicants, is seeing warning signs in their recruitment efforts.
One reason given for lower recruitment numbers is the lingering effect of Covid. “We spend a lot of time dealing with high schools and colleges, but when all those major institutions went to remote classes, then of course that impacted our ability to be able to get in and connect with our young men and women” said Major General Kevin Vereen, commander of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command…

I wonder what happens if you are drafted, but refuse the shot?

2015…… my bad. Fat fingers on an iPhone
Is it worth a single American life to bail out Ukraine coruptocrats? Or support the new Woke-Army. Let the Gays fight in the new army “The fighting fairies” might do well but drawing or supporting 5% of the population isn’t wise. I would not follow the new Woke officers into battle to support not the USA but George Soros, Nancy Pelosi, Red China, and Hunter Biden. No American in their right mind should join such an army or Navy. We lost WW III —we didn’t know it but it was Germ warfare and China won. Even the Chinese say this. Trump didn’t see this coming. He set up Dr. Fauci (Dr. Death) to oversee the American response. That’s like FDR putting Erwin Rommel in charge of the US Army in WW II.
I would never want my son or daughter to serve under this leadership team.
I’m 72 now...did my time 68-76. But my grand daughters or ANYBODY I know now that asks me about some kind of stint in the US Military? I tell them forget it - you’re putting yourself in the cannon fodder hopper of a bunch of political war mongering, MIC-bribed leftist bureaucrats more concerned about some tranny getting his rocks off playing like a woman...
I saw a documentary once where the Mighty Mo’ had to be brought back into service and they had to find a bunch of Navy Vets from WWII to run it. It was interesting.
No. I would send one person or one dollar over there. This stupid war was preventable. Trump would have stopped it if he were in office.
Our military is screwed because their leadership is more worried over pronouns, CRT theory and gays than what China and Russia might do.
Let's go Brandon.
The Dems have succeeded in making large numbers of Americans dislike their government. That inevitably results in this kind of problem.

And ..beach volleyball.
Since biden et al have called/designated those who in the past volunteered for the military (like myself)a bunch of racist, homophobe, domestic terrorists and facing training of woke versus destroying the enemy, I’ve be very reluctant to volunteer now.
They Don’t want REAL men.
Any potential recruits have been paying attention and it’s pretty simple: They don’t want to be used and abused by CRT, unsafe vaccines and deployments which have nothing to do with the security of the United States but serve to further the agenda of the Globalists.
This 72 year old VN combat vet agrees 100%.
To hell with their Globalist agenda which only uses and abuses our military.
Fake, illegal, Criminal POTUS, Democrat, Joe Biden is owned by China Communists...period. Between Joe Biden & his Criminal, Son, Hunter, The USA Navy reject, The Druggie Galore, The Woman Abuser, The Master Criminal...combined with with his crooked, evil, Democrat Party, Dad....The once grand, great USA is sinking fast and furious. That is why young folks want zilch to do with the USA military!!! Why be put in danger, when the ChiComs already rule the American Republic? and,we Americans might well be speaking Chinese soon??? Sad days & times for the once glowing, powerful USA!!! Fellow Americans...you did this to yourselves...period!!! Two words that fit....Go Trumpie...your country needs you badly!!!
Plus a chance to take a shower with some tranny!
I’ve lived in a small rural county for 15 years. Each year 15-20 kids have joined a branch of the military. They are cheered at graduation. This year, only 3.
Law Enforcement and Fire/EMT get paid big bucks here in SoCal.
A HS grad can be making over $100,000/year (base + overtime) by the time he’s 22 as a cop.
