Exactly. It is why I have had multiple relatives, including a couple high ranking ones, leave the military recently. They are disgusted at what the leftists have done to our proud military

No you don’t.

I served during “don’t ask, don’t tell” and all the old bigots complained that it would ruin the military, and that they would retire/not reenlist. It didn’t, and they didn’t. I’m sure people said the thing about racial and gender integrated units.

Fortunately, the members of the US armed forces are professionals, and are able to work with people they wouldn’t be friends with.

You never answered my question. You are talking down on all that are in the military, WAS YOU IN THE MILITARY? Or did you also have bone spurs?

[Jacuzzme]

That must’ve been forever ago bc the service has a huge problem retaining middle management (o3-o5/6+ncos), even offering sweet re-up bonuses. People they wouldn’t be friends with is WAY different than openly crazy.

You are just making shit up now.

And if the outlook for military personnel was as rosy as you portray, why is military recruiting down 25% as the initial post showed

"The U.S. Army in 2022 had its toughest recruiting year since the advent of the all-volunteer military in 1973 and missed its goal by 25%.

This year, it expects to end up about 15,000 short of its target of 65,000 recruits."

Why do you post such utterly false information?

The only ones I have criticized are Senile Biden and his leftist leadership who are more concerned about catering to crazy trannies, implementing racial quotas for promotions instead of merit, DEI training instead of fighting readiness, etc, etc.

Do you support catering to crazy trannies?

Do you support implementing racial quotas for promotions instead of merit?

Do you support focusing on DEI training instead of fighting readiness?

Do you realize that recruitment and retention are two different things, or are you actually stupid?

There is very little that makes people with 12 to 16 years in service leave the military. Those with a clear path to retirement typically stay at the course.

The army has been missing recruitment goals because of record percentage of 17-24 year olds are too dumb and fat to serve.

Army leaders say the issues with recruitment are an amalgamation of barriers getting applicants into the ranks, topped by the high percentage of Americans in prime recruiting age simply being unqualified for service. Army planners estimate only about 23% of 17- to 24-year-olds can meet the service's expectations, with many applicants failing the military's SAT-style entrance exam or being too overweight to serve.

If you found those figures, you probably saw the reason in the article, but once again you are lying to prove your bullshit points.

1. Do you realize that recruitment and retention are interrelated to force readiness? From your response, it appears like you do not

2. Do you realize how bad the leftist woke shit is that "Even Veterans Don’t Want Their Families to Join"?

3. You seemingly don't understand that all retention is not the same - and that the real problem lies in the mid range and above leadership / management types who are fed up with the woke leftist bullshit

4. You do understand don't you that there are senior people in the military who have served over 20 years - and that a number of them have had it with what the leftists have done to destroy the military and they have left

5. You are the only one posting utterly false information when you claimed the following

Too fat and too dumb to serve? At least you unknowingly admit the liberals who run our school system have created a generation of kids that aren't up to standards

God bless liberals...... they destroy our country from within

I’m not a liberal, and frankly have very little use for them. They spend most of their time compromising to make conservatives happy, while the MAGA chuds call them commie libtards. I do know that American schools are broken and it’s the same from administration to administration, state to state regardless of which of the two parties is in power, for a number of complicated reasons that would probably go over your head.

Forgot about a big one that reduces eligibility for recruitment, bad habits.

Sen Mike Lee: It’s becoming increasingly apparent that many of the Radical Left’s most extreme policies—which, sadly, the Senile Biden Administration is trying to normalize—make women feel uncomfortable and belittled, to the point that many of them are leaving military service.
