Translation: Potential candidates, whose family members served in the military, aren’t joining, so the Army Secretary is pretending that the Army isn’t seeking them anyway.

True, but I think there is more to this. During the war the military took a lot of legal aliens with the promise of citizenship. Some were, to put it kindly...idiots! Some were actually really good Marines and Sailors. The program worked surprisingly well from what I saw. But I had a very limited view of the program.

I would not be surprised if she prefers to build a foreign legion made up of illegals with the promise of legal permanent residency. The problem with that is the education level and total lack of connection with this country and its communities.

At least they will be the cannon fodder from her incompetance and not our children and grandchildren.

Kind of like reverse psychology.
