'Woke' up call? Army misses recruiting goal by 25%
World Net Daily ^ | Oct 3, 2022 | Art Moore

Amid vaccine mandates, complaints of "woke" policies and indoctrination, and a tight jobs market, the Army fell 25% short of its recruitment goal this year, about 15,000 soldiers, the Associated Press reported.

The shortfall actually is worse, because the original target of 485,000 active-duty soldiers was cut by 12,000 in April and further reduced later to 466,000.

It is inevitable that this debauched administration will lower recruitment standards to rock bottom in order to get even close to the numbers they want. Expect HIV-infected, trannies at all stages, violent felons, drug addicts and chestless basement dwellers to infect the ranks of our "fighting forces."

Maybe they should start the draft, including women and others. That will win votes.

Red high heels, a communist at West Point, a bunch of militant black female officers doing black power fists in West Point, mandatory shots, perversion and faggotry everywhere, having to serve under a deviant tranny officer, having to sleep on a bare concrete floor in DC because the election was stolen, don’t want to refight WWII eastern front battles in the role of the nazi army, enduring assaholic lectures all day long about race and sex, lead by blithering idiots like Vindman and Milley. Women in the Ranger course getting “passed” through the course with special help.

Just not worth it today.

How read a few lines into the story and you learn that the headline is absolute crap. The problem is a hell of a lot deeper than 25 percent.

The utter incompetence of the evacuation of Afghanistan, being sent to do menial healthcare work because of covid, etc etc. The list is endless.

Basically, US advisors are refighting WWII eastern front battles, playing the role of the nazis. Shameful.

Well, since we know that the wokest people are also stunning and brave, I think the answer is the Army just needs to “lean into” the wokeness. They should hire only transexual and drag queen recruiters, and only recruit at gay pride parades and drag queen story hours. Then they will be sure to the get the cream of the crop of America’s bravest and most stunning warriors.

No worries.

Jose Biden will start offering illegals US citizenship in exchange for 2 years of active duty...maybe one year.

Tight job market? Really? Where? All I’ve seen and heard is job opening after job opening. Companies offering bonuses to get people to work. Desperate for employees. There are jobs for days and days!
As far as the rest of it. Embrace the suck, you pentagon whores and pinko generals.

You’re on to something with the “lean into” part. Remember Rush Limbaugh’s “All Amazon Battalion? Get the cranky man-hating chicks along with the mean girls all together in the same unit”. Arm them with elastrators, let them do basic in the NFL, let ‘em have the Love Boat for an assault ship, then send them after whoever has it coming?

The army secretary is full of crap...I was a Navy recruiter in the late 80’s in a college town. In 3 years my office never missed our goals. And at the time military pay was lagging. It is not the pay! It is partially the woke crap, partially openly gay persons and other stuff but the biggest reason is unending deployments. Navy ships for example are seldom in port, army brigades are constantly deployed fighting for countries that don’t give a crap about the United States and in fact want us gone. Want to improve recruitment and retention? Close the bases in germany, jaoan and korea. Stop sending out kids to die for some despot in some shit hole. In 20 years in the navy my total deployed time was about 5 years. I know kids who in a 4 year enlistment have been deployed for 30 months. Who wants to do that no matter what the pay. And despite what the tranny folks say it is mighty uncomfortable to shower with a female who says she is male or male who says they are female. Get in the shower with some naked female and it is almost impossible to not be aroused which makes it embarrassing for all. How dare the male get an erection! They end up charged with sexual Harassment!

Here’s a plan. Have everybody that wants student loan forgiveness, enlist for 6 years to erase the debt. It is the GI bill in reverse.
