American citizens must believe in the sanctity of our Republic. They must believe she is worth fighting and dying for. They must trust that putting their children in harm’s way is noble and worthy.
Twenty-three percent fewer young men and women, but especially men, want to stand in that gap.
There are theories about why. Young people are going soft. Chubby video game players can’t qualify. The idea of self-sacrifice is old-fashioned and noble virtues like self-sacrifice, personal betterment, and courage are no longer inculcated.
The military is going woke and young men don’t want to be bossed around by commanders wearing lipstick and dressed in drag. It’s embarrassing.
The real reason recruitment is failing is more practical: Biden’s humiliating failure in Afghanistan stunned the country.
Furthermore, the ruling class has corrupted the notion of truth and justice and the American Way. Together, these failures have alienated a huge percentage of the nation. Together they’ve discouraged young people from joining.
Who wants Joe Biden as his commander-in-chief? Who trusts this president with his or her son or daughter’s life?
Who looks at the two-tiered justice system and believes it’s worth defending?
President Biden got America out of Afghanistan and humiliated America and destabilized relationships around the world while doing it.
The military leadership is a dysfunctional mess.
Who wants to answer to political ideologues dressed up in military uniform, heels, and mascara?
Who wants a leader like Gen. Mark Milley, who went behind the former commander-in-chief’s back and presided over failure after failure? All of it is shameful.
All of it is not just un-American, it’s anti-American, and the corruption comes straight from the top.
In Afghanistan, brave, bright, idealistic young people died because of Joe Biden’s indifference and incompetence.

Who wants to be sexually indoctrinated by the Left?
A headline ripped from the headlines...of 1978.
Just replace Joe Biden with Jimmah Cahrtah.
I’m a grad of one of our academies (when it was actually good) and recently counseled one of the brightest young women I’ve met in quite a while to not even think of going there because of the socialist idiocies that have infected the place.
“The military is going woke ...”
Please, soldiers and those considering becoming a soldier, understand that this is a temporary situation that you shouldn’t base decisions on.
The military leadership is a dysfunctional mess.

A reflection of DC in general.
Even to 18-20 year olds, its clear Biden is NOT in charge.
He’s a 50 year career deep-state politician, a vegetable, highly corrupt and a pedophile. He was put there by somebody because he’s easy to control
My son wants to join. The recent vax mandate garbage was a huge flashing red disincentive.
I was embarrassed that Jimmy Carter signed my commission.
“Please, soldiers and those considering becoming a soldier, understand that this is a temporary situation that you shouldn’t base decisions on.”
However, there is a tipping point and we are fast approaching that.
Things were never this bad under Carter. Back then we still believed that an incompetent could be voted out of office and elections every 4 yr actually gave people a voice in choosing our leaders. 2020 showed the absolute corruption of the ballot box.
No fan of Carter, but Biden isn’t worth to shine Jimmy Carter’s shoes.
If you’re in the military just think about the kinds of weird people that you have to live and work with everyday — and perhaps depend on for your safety. You might be sharing living space with some very woke people and/or sexual deviants.
No thanks. I would want to be around the very best people who are dedicated and focused on their duties and mission instead of obsessing over social issues and political correctness.
I thi k the covid shot mandate is playing a huge part in this.
Also, not that it’s earth shattering news or anything but I also believe there is a concerted effort to weaken our military and the shot mandate is being used to help with that effort.
If someone asked me about joining any branch of the military these days I would quickly advise them not to. For taking part in establishment military adventurism I’ve been labeled a potential domestic terrorist. My service was appreciated or reviled based on the current mood or convenience of the democrat party. The VA is an absolute shit show. There’s more, but these are the three I would stress up front.
they shouldn’t worry about serving in the military
Mr. Biden can’t last long with his state of health
and
they’ll soon have the brilliant, respectable (Ineligible) Mrs. Harris as their Commander in Chief
/satire, of course
Agreed.
I became eligible to volunteer in 1976.
Draft was ended prior to that.
No way was I going to enter THAT military.
Agreed. Carter wasn’t an effective or inspiring president, not by a longshot. But he was — and is — an entirely decent and honorable man. Biden is a brazen, amoral crook, and a kid-diddler to boot. And now he’s senile. There’s no comparison.
Back then we had somewhat of a functioning political system. Not perfect, but far better than the hot mess we have in DC these days.
Despite Carter’s ineptness, he was well meaning and the rest of the government wasn’t totally crazy. It is now however.
