There is a perfect storm here of drug use, obesity and health issues in the target demographics and a general malaise.

The Army is determined to rename its bases and forts. Perhaps they will learn to live with a different demographic other than the white southern kids that have been outpunching their weight for generations.

I wouldn’t join the armed forces right now with the retard in chief we have either.

I'd be curious the MOS based issues?

I'll bet very few rural/southern kids are rushing out to join infantry etc.

I'll bet non combat MOS aren't having as bad a time.

I have been telling anyone who will listen to not join and to quit encouraging your sons to join. They will be needed here.

Good. Let 'em rely on the First Special Tranny Forces.

The traditional core of the fighting force, white, rural men from the South and Midwest, are shite upon constantly. Who wants to go fight to prop up bankers and contractors who make it well known that you aren't wanted?

I'm sure the Chinese and Russian defense ministries laugh their asses off every day, knowing that the US military is being turned in to some gay inclusive jobs program that pisses money away with no associated increase in power projection or competency.

There’s an easy solution to the lack of numbers in the military, but I’m not about to say it as they might do it. And we’d be seriously screwed

What, more of McNamara's retards? Draft? Turning it in to a foreign legion?

I bet they are having more trouble because of the required scores.

I'm not surprised. Why bother joining something where your "commander in chief" is the very enemy of you and the Constitution?

Here’s my fricking shocked face.

They are catering heavily to people who will never sign up or make the cut while pissing off the groups who would.

Yep, that’s the dichotomy, if you love your county, do you join a command that hates the country, and let’s face it, the democrats have always hated the military especially the Obama wing.

Recruit people that don't like guns. Brilliant.

No new Sergeant York- types in these ranks.

And let us also keep in mind that they are also actively purging the ranks of anyone on the right.

We figured it was to maintain control of the country. Maybe the intention is to weaken it enough to let us get invaded.

China and Russia follow the same model...Centralized Control, mildly competent career Officer and NCO'S, with the majority of their regular forces being peasant Conscripts. I'll take a smaller, motivated, and vastly more competent volunteer force any day . The World is seeing the value of an unmotivated, undisciplined, and poorly trained Conscript Army on display in the Ukraine. So much so, another 175000 Russians were conscripted today to be canon fodder.

Viet Nam was an example of a non-professional drafted army.

Do you really want someone running point that doesn't have experience and doesn't want to be there?

Modern army needs trained people not just combat but on everything. You don't get that level in one year.

This is way (D)ifferent from when they failed to make mission in FY2005.

Back then it was a combination of a good economy and constant combat deployments. Now it truly is a case that those who would normally serve want no part of the Department of Woke.
