Gonna plummet faster than the rise of gas prices. I can’t imagine any red blooded American parent encouraging their kid to serve under this regime.

The military is nearly 80% white.

12 years ago when I was in recruiting, almost 20% of entrants were legacies (2nd or 3rd generation military).

Many of those families are now refusing to allow their children to join.

My son’s a marine, I’m very proud, but yeah, I told him he needs to get out when possible

The number of Trans people will sky rocket.

Health insurance that pays for surgery! They are set.

Number of trannies is going to be at an all time high! What a military.

They will not be able to fight at all, but they will all dress faaaaabulously

Unfortunately, I think that is their goal. Now they can recruit “yes” people and fully implement their plan. Or at least attempt to implement it.

I’ve never met a fellow service member who joined on behalf of the country or government. It’s largely for personal incentive after pretty much just weighing the pros and cons of military service (like myself).

On the other hand, I haven’t had a position that involves much interaction with newer enlistees for quite some time so I’m not sure what they have to say.

All by design; the demoralization is another step in being China's bitch courtesy of the illegitimate Biden administration

If you’ve ever wondered how our homeland could be taken over, this is it. Once our military is weakened, we are all sitting ducks.

Our enemies are laughing at us. We are literally giving them what they want while making ourselves weaker.

As recent as 8-9 months ago I was toying with the idea of commissioning into a reserve force.

No country in their right mind would ever try to take the US.

It's impossible....our own government cant control us. We have more guns than most armies.

Biden administration won’t be in long enough to matter. Military will be fine. They aren’t stupid. The Occupant of the United States won’t be allowed to screw up our military like he will other stuff.

On one hand, our military is dwindling to feebleness. On the other, we’re ramping up the war machine abroad again.

That’s an odd set of predicaments on this board.

Enlisted between 72-74%
Officers between 78-79%

It was 76% when I left USAREC in 2009.

Obama sure got away with screwing up our military. Why would Buyden be any different?

That’s fricking depressing.

The military discharges people for not meeting specific standards for a reason. It’s not some fricking school club.
