Southern/rural white males have always been the backbone of the US military. Looks like the urban pencil brass decided to FAFO.

I was lucky enough to serve under two Commanders-In-Chief...Richard Nixon and gerald Ford,both of whom served honorably as Naval officers.There’s no way in hell I’d serve under Osama Obama or The Big Guy.

Well, when you're looking to fill the Armed Forces with homosexuals and tranny freaks, that's no surprise.

You forgot the whinny women. The ones who whined about not being able to further their careers and become Admirals and Generals because they were not allowed into the combat jobs. They stated they just wanted to be one of the boys until they got in and immediately started to whine about the maleness of the duties and the men and that it all should be torn down and rebuilt as softer, kinder, combat duties.

The senior Enlisted on that boat should’ve used his M9 to dispatch the officer that gave the order to surrender...then ordered the others to open fire on the Iranians with the mini-guns and MK-19s.

Conservatives, deplorables, fly-over rednecks, anti-vax conspiracy nuts, transphobes, MAGA insurrectionists, etc... whatever they call us - ALL need to boycott serving this government which hates us.

Better hit up the Pride parades and the Furry Conventions and Drag Queen Story hour at the libraries. They donā€™t seem to be bringing in enough of their precious ā€œdiverseā€ people.

FJB has brought in at least 10 million illegals. Certainly they can find 250K recruits among them?

With an added advantage that they will have ZERO knowledge of the Constitution or US traditions. They'll happily shoot American citizens if ordered.

..the Navy has made every attempt to attract new applicants.

No.

No, it hasn't.

The applicants that the Navy needs will not join the 'woke' armed forces.

Stout hearted, brave hearted men will look elsewhere for employment. Those who do apply are more likely to be less than desirable.

On the other end, the Navy will issue a stop loss order, meaning that service members approaching their expiration of active service (EAS) will be involuntarily retained on active duty.

That'll work for a while. But 5-10 years from now, we'll be back to where we are today.

Why would someone want to join the GloboHomo armed forces?

It has always been difficult to maintain a navy with fighting spirit and a solid morale in eras of relative peace. Couple that with the feminist inspired and equal opportunity social programs diddling the armed forces since the late 1970's...and here we are.

Congress and various executive administrations have their fingerprints all over the destruction of our armed forces' readiness. As to Navy recruitment, CNOs should be held accountable for poor numbers with dismissal just as CEOs would be for management failure. Of course, there is the nauseating possibility that the whole damn country is failing.

The cakes were anatomically correct renditions of buxom women, with a strategically placed cherry.

Today that would get you court-martialed.

The same could be said of the current TikTok generation.

I was gator Navy. Ive heard the Coast Guard recruiting problems stem from their height requirment.
You must be over 6ft tall. If the boat sinks you can wade to shore.

Coast Guard is falling short, as well.

All of the branches of the military fell short this year.

Except the Marines. They made their numbers without lowering their standards or offering recruitment bonuses.

Well they were lagging in embracing the New World Order" but they are on track with the Get Woke program now, and they should soon catch up with the rest of the services.

Need to get sailors from Illegal Aliens—Army and Navy should use just Spanish Language. That would solve our manpower problems. That or Hire Mercenaries! Maybe China could defend us from Russia? Ya think?
