The military blames the pandemic and a good job market for the decline in qualified candidates:

But the REAL reason:

“A major reason, which the Academy will not acknowledge, for the decline in applicants is that the culture of the AFA has changed to promote racial and radical leftist ideologies.”

The type of young person interested in applying to any of the academies is not interested or attracted by those ideologies.

Who the hell wants to be associated with a loser Military Force a La Afghanistan? If the Military Brass had been fired then you could say it won’t happen again. But now it is obvious America Losing is institutionalized.

I think so. I also think they have terminated some cadets and are demanding their scholarships back, because they wouldn’t get jabbed.

Gee. WHATEVER could the problem be? *Smirk*

As a Veteran, my advice (whether solicited or NOT) to the younger crowd in our family is to forget joining the military and get your butt into a trade or medical school and learn to DO something of value.

Not that a strong military isn’t needed, but it’s a fruitless venture these days, as a career choice. And that’s SAD because I LOVED my Army Life. I miss it every day. :(

Thanks, Socialists! Thanks, RINOs! Thanks, Globalist One-World Pukes! Great job you’re doing to speed our decline!

*SPIT*

I was on the admissions board at the naval academy. We get 40K applicants and accept 1200. So what. Now we get 20K and pick 1200. This is just crying over a statistic number.

Hmm...

Russia has just increased their volunteer contract force for this year by 137,000. And is forming new brigades/battalions.

The new 3rd army corp (expected to have 40,000-60,000..that’s hard to believe) along with their new, latest weapons is on their way to the Donbass area right now.

Exactly what they wanted and intended to happen. Our military is being destroyed from within by pagans and is being remade in order to be deployed against “domestic terrorists”.

Keep,running woke ads and folks will drop out like crazy. It’s a,ready happening. Noone wants to participate in an organization that is ridiculously run to be as woke as possible. Go woke, go broke. Old saying, but it’s appropriate

““A major reason, which the Academy will not acknowledge, for the decline in applicants is that the culture of the AFA has changed to promote racial and radical leftist ideologies.”

That and that pesky-assed honor code, at least until they get rid of it all together.

Having served in the Army during the Vietnam era (but not in SE Asia) there's no way in hell I'd serve under The Big Guy,Osama Obama,BillyBob or even the Peanut Farmer. I was lucky enough to serve under only two Commanders-In-Chief...Nixon and Ford,both of whom served honorably as Naval officers.
