Are the powers that be planning a war?
The US Army last week “released a recruitment ad that critics argue is a sure sign the military is gearing up for war,” Townhall’s Leah Barkoukis reports. “There are no signs of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the 30-second spot, which features white males jumping out of a plane.”
After several years of stressing wokeness and diversity — and telling troops, “If you’re a white male, you are part of the problem” — the Army is suddenly seeking old-fashioned soldiers from traditional sources.
That’s because, like it or not, if you’re looking for combat soldiers, you’re going to be recruiting heavily among white males — and, worse yet from the wokies’ standpoint, white males from the South and Midwest.
Though the Army has become more diverse overall, historically it’s been white males who have disproportionately signed up for combat roles.
This remains true enough that the Army has been worrying about it for a while, though mostly in terms of its impact on the promotion of minority and female officers, since senior leadership comes largely from combat or “tactical” commands.
The United States is involved, though not yet with substantial troops, in three theaters: Ukraine, China/Taiwan/the Philippines and the Middle East.
...
A family member who’s in the Army has shared numerous stories of filthy, broken-down barracks, unfed troops and uncaring officers.
...
not the fault of the troops — it’s the fault of the leaders.
But who wants to sign up to be led by people who don’t want to do their jobs?
Politicized militaries don’t win wars, and they don’t attract fighting soldiers.
Changing that starts at the top, not with TV ads.

Cashier the Pentagon pantywaists. Promote American officers.
“Too late to eradicate Wokism?”
Nope. Lots of woodchippers just sitting around needing something to do.
Nobody wants to join Brandon’s Trannytary.
Because back in the day there were a huge number of young men from those areas who were patriotic and saw the military as a way to escape the poverty of their decrepit coal mining, farming, no future, etc existence. I saw it during my time in the service. Made outstanding US soldiers.
When they purge DEI/CRT and perversion from the military, let me know
So, let me see if I got this . . .
Since Ophonybama The First, (that would be 2009!) EVERY PERSON IN THE ENTIRE Army chain of command FRom E-1 to 0-9 has been indoctrinated, subjected to and graded/promoted upon the full pantheon of “Woke” and DEI policies/dictats/rules/regulations, etc., etc.
And, now, in 2023, We the People are supposed to believe that, “ABRACADABRA-ALACAZAN” the Army is not “Woke” anymore?
That DEI is no longer operative?
That, presto-change-o, ALL of the Enlisted and Officer men and women are suddenly Warriors?
That the US Army is back to being the MACHO TAKE NAMES AND KICK ASS fighting force of yore?
Can the Navy and Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Space Force and the Coast Guard be far behind?
So, if you believe that one, I have this bridge for sale . . .
Standing armies are dangerous to liberty, especially woke armies.
Starve the beast, do not volunteer.
And with boots on the ground in Syria - or where did they go when they had to flee the Iranian troops there?
The Texas State Guard is recruiting.
My white friends and I are all busy.
I think it’s too late because we still have the same woke-promoting cretins in charge of the military, and have recently taken on more with a similar attitude. Under the President Retardo illegal regime, being woke seems to be much more of an important criterion for military leaders than battle and leadership fitness.
When Trump's President, he'll say, 'I need citizens to join up so we can defend out borders and take out the Cartels... " And he'd say, "from this point forward and forever promotions will be based on Merit and NOT on WOKE Kink, Kolor, or Kin (powerful daddy - that's the new democrat kkk..).
The ranks would fill right up.
Too many burned bridges.
Plenty of government agents can be “pressed” into service . . . to their surprise.
The White males are sitting this one out. So they’ll have to recruit from the immigrants.
Thanks…clears that up for me .
…
That’s why the draft is coming. So that white people can be cannon fodder.
The weeny girl with two mommies is their icon I thought.
who wants to sign up knowing they will be passed over for promotions by anyone black, woman, or trans?
