Nobody wants to join a woke military.

Didn’t the Navy force a lot of people to get the shot or get dishonorably discharged? I don’t know how many chose to take the discharge. Probably quite a few, just to get away from the decision makers.

Who the heck wants to ride a sub christened by Dr. Jill? And there’s the Harvey Milk? Wearing that shoulder patch would make one so proud.

The Pentagon screwed members of all the services with the Covid mandates and now they’re having to deal with people leaving.

All of the services are not meeting recruitment needs.

The Lloyd Austin DoD is a disaster.

The woke agenda chased off the manly men who make up the core of the military. Simple as that.

Perhaps if they would not allow gays, not force fake “pronouns” on sailors, they might get enough people enlisting.

Assuming there will be a Republic long enough for a nondemocrat politician to reach the Presidency, there has to be a drastic rethinking of what the American military should look like to be ready for the future because there has already been a drastic reshaping of what the American military currently is.

The covid shot madness had a noticeable first order effect in punishing troops who had real moral objections to the shot, but it also had second order effects of scaring off many more civilians who would otherwise consider the military. Refuse a shot for a sickness that nearly nobody of military age and fitness would be hospitalized for and get threatened with a felony? (a dishonorable discharge is equivalent to a felony conviction) why in Heaven’s name would one ever sign on to a system that insane?

Endless wars, over deployments and when sailors are in their home port they get bombarded with woke BS. Austin and the joint chiefs are woke pieces of schiff. When Trump is re-elected for the 3rd time, there needs to be a housecleaning.

If this had happened to me when I was leaving active duty in 1981, I’m pretty sure my wife would have left both me and the Army behind.

Any time the military screws with separations, there are a whole bunch of members who make the determination to get out at their first opportunity.

Had a job lined up? Too bad.

Enrolled in courses for next semester? How sad.

Yes, an early out isn't a guarantee but it's damn insulting that the number crunchers in Manpower couldn't foresee the drop in new enlistments AND the surge of regular separations.

Next step is Stop Loss.

Very few wish to serve in Biden’s Woke Military.

Too many ‘Sailors’ have never spent a single day at sea. Strange how the supporting commands’ manning was always higher than any ship I ever served on. Time to empty the cozy offices and make them deploy.

Wokeism, etc.
Keep it up armed services.
I am sure it will make hitting them recruiting quotas easier.
Not.

This article = a desperation move....much in the same vein as removing high school diploma requirements........

Rid the USN of “woke” and LGBTQ and they won’t have to worry about manpower.

Obama’s successful subverting our military forces and academies, thanks in part to former Admiral Kirby’s shilling for Obama and even Biden and the traitors in Congress.
