It says a lot that the brains in the Pentagon need to have ideas presented to them when the solutions are so obvious to anyone normal.
If you act quickly, you can enter the joint Modern War Institute and US Army Training and Doctrine Command writing contest. The contest wants ideas to solve the military’s recruiting problems. If you can offer a winning solution in no more than 1,500 words, along with abiding with other stylistic guidelines, you’ll get public recognition, and maybe the powers that be will act on what you have to say. The deadline for submissions is at 11:50 p.m. Eastern Time, on September 3.
In a post announcing the contest, the Modern War Institute, which operates at West Point, explains the problem:
“Credible defense begins with our ability to steadily attract and retain the men and women who would assume the initial burden of a fast breaking war.” More than forty years ago, Vice Admiral Robert B. Pirie, Jr. eloquently described why recruiting was a national security issue.
This year, the Army will again fail to meet recruiting goals after falling fifteen thousand short last year. Likewise, the Navy anticipates falling six thousand sailors short of its target. The Air Force has issues too, with Secretary Frank Kendall acknowledging in March that his service would fall 10 percent short this year. Except for the two smallest services—the Marine Corps and Space Force—the United States’ armed forces continue to face recruiting woes.
Do you find it as distressing as I do that the brightest minds within the military can’t seem to figure this one out on their own? It seems to me that the solutions are obvious:

Well gee whiz- yoos folks spared no expense for the winner eh? What a prize!
I joined in 2001. I would not join now at a similar stage in life.
Biden gone.
Woke Generals out
No woke needed.
Promise no unnecessary wars or needless conflicts
Minimum standards back to 25 years ago.
Same healthcare, retirement, and pensions as Congress.
There, problem fixed.
More transgender Admirals. Oh wait...
How about this, I think it would work very well.
Stop the Woke Bull S^^t!
This idea will spark a note in the mind of every normal person.
Stop coddling faggots.
Military goes Gay and people stay away
How about if we stop getting into all of these for profit wars that the military industrial complex has no intention of winning?
How about mandatory conscription for the children, grand children, nieces and nephews between the ages of 17-35 of every last elected official in this country. That should help regular folks in signing up.
I like it. Combat MOS only.
They need to just face it, that there simply aren’t that many fags to recruit.
No Pooftahs!
Its easy; start at the top with dumping Milley, Brown all the trannys and any other psychos.
LOL. What is the US military but a bunch of thugs serving unelected bureaucratic elites in the Capitol District as they trash and destroy one country after another? If someone really wants to defend America they’d join a militia in Texas.
