The backbone of the U.S. Military, and especially the Army and Marine Corps has, for at least 70 years, been a constant flow of Southern, working-class "white" boys. At the same time, a military career has been considered an honorable one among the upper middle class of the same community. This is not to deny that others have served honorably... Black soldiers and sailors, Hispanics, "whites" from all over the country. But the backbone has been Southern "white" guys.
All gone now.
No self-respecting southerner wants anything to do with the "woke" institutions that welcome homosexuals and allow men to serve as women, and vice versa. What sane human male wants to risk going into combat alongside any woman? None that I know.
In the absence of the resurgence of a military draft - which is LONG overdue - the armed forces will become a repository of misfits, perverts, and life-losers. I'm not close enough to it to see how close we are to this sad reality, but it is inevitable.
And I don't look to the Brass to right the ship. They are disgusting, cowardly bureaucrats. If they are ordered to promote people by demographic group, and that's what their OER is based on, they will do it. Obviously.
Truly, the only asset we have is a virtually unlimited budget and fantastic technology.
