If you spurn your gay fellow in the foxhole he may not cover you when you need it.
This is the woke military the generals and admirals want for the USA.

Do they still need to score higher than Biden on the cognitive skills test?

In 1980 the ROTC gave my soon to be wife 30 days to gain 22 pounds or she would be kicked out. Even though she easily passed all the physical tests and marksman tests.
She only had one year left to go. She let them kick her out.
She only weighed 85 pounds. She finally packed on the 22 pounds a year ago. (Excluding her 3 pregnancies)

This is the talking point spin. The REAL reason they can’t get decent recruits is the military went woke.

Fiscal year 2022 was the worst year for military recruiting since the services switched to an all-volunteer force in 1973. Yipes. Apparently free sex change operations and White Anxiety classes aren't enough of a draw. What else could young people want?
To: central_va
Faux News’ reporting is indistinguishable from the rest of the left-wing media. Twelve years of “course correction” sure would do that.
BTW, I heard a couple of days ago that the Army revived its old “Be All That You Can Be” advertising slogan.

Overweight and not so smart.
What could go wrong?
In times of war, those would be the first to get killed. So, the woke military and government is going to get many thousands of military personnel killed, easily. Sitting ducks.

Trannies and queers weren’t enough to fill recruiting requirements, so they’ve had to branch out to fatties and morons too.

If you want to serve under Biden, you’ve already failed the IQ test.
To: Olog-hai
Woke people are generally fat and stupid. If that is who you value you have got to cut them some slack.

There was never enough time for all the training we needed for our military, more weeks was a constant and permanent plea.
Now time is not a problem, another week for basic training to teach wokeness and sex issues, more time and training to get people in shape just so that they can show up at basic?
Hey, all the time and budget in the world.

Wait until they need training for the training; two layers of prep before basic.
