Do US military never really had a problem recruiting until they went all globohomo. The only groups really enthusiastic about military service now are trannies, fags, lesbians and woketards. I feel so, so safe.

Right. No “legacy admissions” in colleges OR the military. Legacy admissions come from families that might have raised children who won’t buy into the DEI/LGBTQ+ agendas!

Lack of awareness? Uh, no. It’s an abundance of awareness that’s the problem. Young people don’t want to place themselves under the orders of racial bigots and sexual deviates who hate them. Is that difficult to understand?

Back in my 20’s I considered becoming a nuclear enginner on a sub.
NO WAY would I consider it with today’s navy.
Unless I was a “Village People” supporter....

When the Marines get as poossified as the Army and Navy that will change.

The No. 1 challenge facing U.S. military recruiting is the American public’s lack of familiarity

This is the problem with Drug Testing, the upper echelon DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. If they did, stupid statements like this would never be uttered

The Marines just hide it more from the public.

I tend to agree. The American public is on to what the military has become and they don’t want any part of it - for themselves or for their younger relatives. As a veteran, I sure won’t counsel any young person I know that the US Military is a viable option for them.

This won’t change until the military stops this “the first [insert race, gender or sexual depravity] here” attitude.

What bothers me is that too many of them may have wanted to hear exactly what was said.

These guys are delusional. It is exactly the opposite, it is what Americans now know its military has turned into under this Affirmative Action SecDef and woke generals in the Joint Chiefs who are pushing woke ideology and Democrat agenda. It is also the fact that patriots in the military have been declared white supremacists and terrorists and being “hunted” down. And lets not forget the forced experimental jabs under threat of courts martial or expulsion if one refused.

I agree with you except for the jabs part.

I think young men who might otherwise consider the military are aware and repelled by the mess the military has become, It is an organization that will lose a big war quickly because its focus is not on war fighting skills but rather on moral destruction of the troops.
