The new standards optionally require retention of genitals and drop passage of morality testing.
5 million illegals in two years. Most of them seem to be men.
There’s the answer right there.
“Go Woke, broke the military”
The traditional pro-American, patriotic, young white males are being advised by their families and elders to stay away from the military because they hate you. This is the result. It’s all part of their plan.
The real problem may be that young kids don’t want to be used as fodder in foreign, for profit wars that our government and the MIC have no intention of winning.
A turning point for me was my last two years 79-81, in Germany. My battalion commander, against great head winds, went on a mission to get rid of poor soldiers. We discharged over 60 in our 600 man battalion, he turned that battalion into a C-1 in 15 months.
As a platoon leader, I had my share of personnel problems, but I dealt with them. Again, I don't see much difference since 77-80.
77% of the conscription pool are ineligible for service because of health or criminal records.
Gee what could possibly be causing a decline in enrollment? Could it be that the military appeal was primarily to young men with masculine qualities and expectations and now the military has essentially banned masculinity?
“they were given an option of enter the system or join the service?”
And the military became the unproud recipient of every loser that the justice department didn’t want to deal with. In my years I have seen very few that survived 4 years let alone prospered.
People who were given that option to alleviate jail were normally not one time wonders. They were freguent flyers that showed up in front of the courts for idiotic things that were not enough to do anything to them to make an impression, just enough to give them a brief break in the action with room and board tossed in.
In later years the option was changed to give the offender the option of moving out of state, i.e. basically banished. But it didn’t change anything. When the member was ejected from the military for doing the same things that got him in, or through enough times of somehow getting lucky not to get caught, and he made the 4 years, where did they think he was going...it wasn’t Disneyworld.
So they handed the government the problem and the expense till the time frame matched the contract and he returned older, more learned in how to use the system, and the expense fell right back on them. So your tax dollars paid the baby sitting fees and he returned to the scene of the crimes to make more. Great solution, huh?

The Draft is coming, what better way to take young skulls full of mush and completely indoctrinate them.
They could add 8,123 more by reinstating the military members that had the courage to refuse the experimental mRNA drugs.
And give them their duly earned back pay and benefits, with an apology from General Milley.
The fact that Democrats shut them out for refusing to be experimental subjects has to be a deterrent to freedom-loving potential recruits.
And all the republicans that voted for the $1.7,000,000,000,000 bill will fall all over themselves to tell you they vote for the military.
All the things being done to weaken our military forces is intentional.
None of this is a ‘mistake’.
From McNamara through to Austin, General Ray Theon and his cadre have been in charge throughout.
Recalling US troops and assets stationed in 150 countries around the world would allow concentration of military personnel, but of course that is not what is wanted.
What is wanted is a number that General Ray Theon and General Milli-Vanilli can bring to their bosses and say, "What good boys are we."
Not enough fit volunteers? Conscript them! Because we are at war! So does it seem. The only question is: against whom?
Let the fags and trannys in. Lower the physical requirements so women and girlie men can play soldier. Bust somebody’s balls for pronoun usage and tell them to look the other way while grown men bugger little boys. Then wonder why real manly men choose not to participate. It is baffling to liberals.
They are hiring people now that don't know enough to breath in then breath out.
Nobody with a brain or a moral compass belongs in the U.S. military today. End of story.
They’re decided to admit stupid fat people?
This was the norm in the 60's with a hot shooting war going on. I was 16, got in trouble and got this option to 'join' on my 17th birthday a few months out.
The Army went Woke and Fag. I would not make it 5 minutes in the service today. Everyone in vicinity would be constantly offended at me.
They talk about their “standards”, HA!
If you are breathing and have an IQ of 70 or above you are welcome to join up.
