Military told us with their actions they didn’t want straight while men.
So now there is a shortage.

They fear the woke shite. They know (and live) cancel culture. It is a MAJOR impediment right now.

They've turned the military into a social experiment.
It takes a special kind of man to join the military.
That special kind of man wants no part of mandatory vaccinations, maternity flight suits and drag queen story hour.
So he’s just not signing up.
For extra fun, current and former military are now on government watch lists for believing in radical things like individual freedoms and that they can vote for whoever they want.

Wouldn't surprise me to know that military taking orders from democrats to enlist only democrats. How would they know? Litmus test? Therefore many are failing the test and the military may have to resort to illegals and or chineses.

I joined in 05 and got out in 2017. Once Iraq and Afghanistan went from war zones to occupation areas, the mission of the military changed dramatically
We went from how to develop the most effective ways to kill the enemy, to how inclusive we can be.
That’s 100% the reason I got out

Used to have such a lifelong sense of admiration and respect for the armed forces, and the very sight of a uniform. All that ended when they went homo. And now they've even gone tranny, with an added dollop of demented wokeness. Absolutely impossible for me to have anything but revulsion now towards this military at this point.

If a recession or heaven forbid recession starts the armed forces recruiting offices will be filled with kids wanting the gig.
With 25 dollar salaries at fast food, why go now, march around, not have a say where you live, etc.
In this case I say again, per Carville "It's the economy, stupid".

Had this been in place 35 years ago I wouldn’t have been able to serve. I had childhood asthma among other things which would have disqualified me. I lied to the army and served without issue whatsoever.
I was a sickly kid but completely healthy by the time I was 18. I think this is probably disqualifying 10% of the folks that would have otherwise made it in.

It would be remiss not to point out and give just deserts to one of the dubious foundational "cornerstones" that helped initiate and incite the all-out assault that has been in the works against the military - at least since 1950.
The study The Authoritarian Personality now in its 77th year and still doing work.
Max Horkheimer (the acknowledged "Father of Sensitivity Training") who wrote the Foreword to the study.
In his "Foreword" to the study which was launched to ferret out, identify, and expose anyone who harbored tendencies toward "fascism," he makes it clear what exactly was the prime target among the investigation's "many" targets.
From his Foreword:
- And what within the individual organism responds to certain stimuli in our culture with attitudes and acts of destructive aggression? But an aroused conscience is not enough if it does not stimulate a systematic search for an answer.
- It (the study) demonstrates that there is a close correlation between a number of deeprooted personality traits, and overt prejudice.
- The study has also succeeded in producing an instrument for measuring these traits among various strata of the population.
- The study considers the connection between personality traits and prejudice among war veterans.
Here the investigators were able to examine the impact of the war experience, with its complex anxieties and tensions, as an added factor of that or significance affecting tens of millions of people.
- Once we understand, for example, how the war experience may in some cases have strengthened personality traits predisposed to group hatred, the educational remedies may follow logically.
- Our aim is not merely to describe prejudice but to explain it in order to help in its eradication. That is the challenge we would meet.
Eradication means re-education, scientifically planned on the basis of understanding scientifically arrived at.
And education in a strict sense is by its nature personal and psychological.
- A search for the truth conducted in accordance with the best techniques of the contemporary social sciences was our sole aim.
The above is just a small sample, but it's to be remembered that most of our institutions, to include academia and the military, accepted this study into their ranks, so after 77 years it's become interwoven into the nation's fabric.
Even though contrary to what is purported in Horkheimer's Foreword, that study was not done in accordance with scientific method "best practices."
The term "trainwreck" is better applied to it.
Yet, obviously when it first appeared, it was for the most part taken at face value, with few or no questions asked.
Only with the advent of alternate media did the leading questions begin - 40 years too late.

Every veteran and retired military person I know are no longer encouraging guys to join. We're pretty much doing the opposite
