Entering 2023, Concerns About Army Recruiting Loom
Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/17/2022 | Margaret Flavin

Recruiting across the branches has likely been hampered by COVID vaccine requirements but also the increasingly woke military atmosphere where trans soldiers are give special privileges while Christian soldiers are persecuted, bases host drag shows, and leaders with a history of anti-white statements are hired.

"The service experienced a shortfall of 15,000 recruits in fiscal 2022, which caused it to miss its congressionally-authorized end strength by nearly 20,000 soldiers.

And service officials have expressed fear that they won’t be able to rebound in fiscal 2023."

I wonder if President Biden heard about this all the way in St. Croix where he is vacationing.

Once the courts cancel Title 42, we’ll have more foreign fighters willing to die for America than you can shake a stick at. LOL. JK.

One of the reasons I got out of the Air Force (1976) was that I realized there’s always some idiot who outranks you. Now, there will often be someone who outranks you who is an idiot AND a pervert.

Shortfall?

I doubt it.

There are plenty of fine young men who are eager to enlist in the new Woke Army. Like this potential recruit...

White males have always been in the vast majority of service personnel.
They have been trashed, and this is what you get.
Good luck winning anything without white men.

I got out (USAF 1978) because I figured it out. Any time you have a Democrat running the show you are FUKed. They like to abandon and waste soldiers lives.

Once the military brass issued the illegal mandate to get the Jim Jones Jab, it was inevitable the recruiting targets would increase and the number of recruiting candidates would drop.

For current military members well on their career track, who would risk another unlawful order to take an experimental treatment at the threat of losing their pension? They're going to retire out at the first chance they can, causing more demand for new recruits.

For current military members who signed up to serve for a tour or two, who would risk another unlawful order to take an experimental treatment for a transitory position that they intended to leave at the end of their tour? They're not going to re-up, creating the need for more recruits.

For potential recruits who might have looked at serving in the military for a tour or two, who would take the risk of permanent injury or death taking an experimental treatment for a temporary position in life?

For potential recruits who might have looked at the military as a career, who would take the risk of starting down a narrow career track only to find themselves forced to take an experimental treatment or lose their career and pension?


For political reasons, the Jao Bai-din administration is going to again lower the recruitment target in an attempt to cover up the shortfalls.

Since Biden has no interest in defending America or the Constitution, these troops would only be deployed against fellow citizens.

All soooo true. These are representatives of the heartland values that is so vilified and scorned now by the political and social elites.

Maybe deployed against fellow citizens. Certainly serving a Government that uses taxpayer money to pay off the media to say whatever they want said, and silence opposition. No first Amendment, no other Amendments can be expected. You can no longer say we have a Constitutional Republic, but arguments for Dictatorship, or Fascist State are valid.

Who wants to fight and die for Fascism or Biden?

Our society is worse off in every single way, except in technology, which can be used for nefarious purposes.

China and the Cartels want an army of mercenaries run by unqualified people chosen for REASONS OTHER THAN COMPETENCE.

The solution for President Sniffer is to drum patriotic skilled service members OUT of the Service then replace them.

Biden will replace them with a combination of illegals - (with zero allegiance to our county but lots to President Sniffer and his goons), sexual weirdos who will receive promotions based on kink NOT on competence... ' - and be personally beholden to the pervert in Chief. Then rounding out the horror - and in the name of 'equity' criminal "people color" as a criminal justice reform - giving hardened criminals an opportunity to control some of the most sophisticated weapons in the world.

Of course China and the Cartels will be grateful... maybe more diamonds for Hunter - and bigger mansions for 'the elites' in DC.

Pastors are in fact counseling their your Christian men and women that due to the un-Christian policies in the military, that military service should be avoided.

I know of not one young person in my church that is considering military service after high school.

And I have a large church.
