Army Sees Sharp Decline in White Recruits
Military.com ^ | January 10, 2024 | Steve Beynon

Posted on 01/11/2024 6:33:54 AM PST by Salman

The Army's recruiting of white soldiers has dropped significantly in the last half decade, according to internal data reviewed by Military.com, a decline that accounts for much of the service's historic recruitment slump that has become the subject of increasing concern for Army leadership and Capitol Hill.

The shift in demographics for incoming recruits would be irrelevant to war planners, except it coincides with an overall shortfall of about 10,000 recruits for the Army in 2023 as the service missed its target of 65,000 new soldiers. That deficit is straining the force as it has ramped up its presence in the Pacific and Europe: A smaller Army is taking on a larger mission and training workload than during the peak of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- leading to soldiers being away from home now more than ever.

As long as the Army espouses DEI why would any white male want to join?

“Diversity and inclusion are critical to future military readiness”

It's a shame what has been done to our military.

I joined the Marines in 1981 out of high school. As I had no real chance of going to college, it was a way for me to escape my crime-ridden neighborhood and dysfunctional family and make a life for myself.

I know for a fact that the military saved me from what would have been a miserable existence. I came out of the Marines with the discipline and confidence to build a very rewarding career path for myself.

Just conscript the blood relatives between the age of 17-35 of every last civilian Federal Employee and the problem is solved. Hell if we sent these new soldiers to the Front lines in Ukraine, the war would end in a day.

This is by design. I suspect it is considered a feature, not a bug.

The military has always been a conservative institution. For the Left to take over, the military has to be restructured into a radical-left institution, or at least, neutralized.

Who would want to join an organization where the leaders are a senile retardate in the White House and that Idi Amin defense secretary who is MIA in a hospital somewhere?

Then when it comes time for cannon fodder, they’ll draft the white people.

They don’t want men, whites, conservatives, or Christians as soldiers. Fine by me.

I have no doubt the trannies and BIPOC women will fight like tigers

Young men who were taught in school that this is not their country any more, are no joining up.

Also young men who were raised on Twinkies and video games, and cannot pass the Army physical.

Even More Young Americans Are Unfit to Serve, a New Study Finds. Here's Why.

A new study from the Pentagon shows that 77% of young Americans would not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, using drugs or having mental and physical health problems.

According to the Left (and a substantial number of conservatives), this will have no effect on the Army because race doesn’t real. Let’s hope we don’t have to find out if the fundamental transformation of the Army matters

Using the male population for gun-fodder in unwinnable wars to promote a neocon dream of empire is a loser.

You can paint white males as obese, drug addicted, slackers to bolster a progressive America, but the fact that almost all young men see the military as a deadend today with advancements based on skin color and ethnicity while taking the brunt of hostility toward them as the quintessential OPPRESSSOR of People of Color is a huge reason writ large.

DEI and ESG are on the run lately after racking up failure after failure.

Speaking last week about Claudine Gay's "resignation" as Harvard president, even Al Sharpton has bemoaned the fact that corporate contributions and commitments are being withdrawn at an alarming rate.

“We hate you! Please join us!”

Isn’t that the message they’re projecting?
