Why the military is not meeting the recruiting goals

[candycorn]

Nobody wants to join the military with all the emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

When you have a few years..try to unpack the lunacy behind that bizarre statement. I guess if they only took a few races and didn't want to include others...we'd somehow have more people willing to join? LOL Its bizarre.

The work is dangerous; it's hard, it's thankless, and it doesn't pay all that well. We can't do anything about the danger or the difficulty. We CAN do something about thanking our active and former military and we CAN do something about paying them a lot better.

If the NBA, NFL, WNBA, MSL, MLB, NASCAR, NHL, NCAA, Broadway theaters, comedians, musicians, regional theaters, city orchestras, playhouses, etc... really wanted to do so; they could offer a lot more free seats to active military and their families and it wouldn't hurt their box office much if at all. Any unsold ticket to any of these events represents a missed opportunity for them to thank a member of the military. I think there should be a goal of at least 2-5% of the seats that are available--every season--being set aside for members of the military.

As for pay...its bizarre that we still have military men and women on food stamps. Its a national disgrace.

Why Do Military Members Qualify for Food Stamps?

Many feel the fact that military families need food aid is shocking.

The military is having to deal with the unintended consequences of of Democrat woke polices.

The equivalent of "go woke, go broke".

Of course the Biden administration's idea of fixing the problem is to not criticize it. LOL!

I look around, and I wonder: who would send their sons and daughters, or husbands and wives, to fight and potentially die for this nation in its wheezing decline?

Not me.

Not anymore.

Many more people are thinking the same way.

This is the country they want to sacrifice to protect? Potatotahead's Queer Nation"?

Exactly. To have them be left behind or bombed during a botched evacuation? Nope.

Well, possibly having a bizarre sexually mutilated fetishist as a 'commander' would certainly drive many off.

have them be left behind or bombed during a botched evacuation?

Yes, this is definitely a possiblity, along with being charged for imaginary war crimes or thought crimes when some freak gets offended over something somebody said.

That has always been policy. They all know how to game the system long before they even set out for the U.S.

You think joining our military is gaming the system?

 

[Silver Cat]

That is why they are getting slaughtered

Only in Ukrainian propaganda. Actually, during this campaign they've hardly lost more than 100.000 soldiers.

Recruiting problems?

Imagine that.

Photoshop really helps to prove your point

Even More Young Americans Are Unfit to Serve, a New Study Finds. Here's Why.

The updated figures paint a picture of what is currently plaguing military recruiters in many of the service branches, with a shrinking pool of potential service members available to them.

Fun fact is in this conflict in Ukraine the US can’t produce as much ammunition as Russia does.
Even though the US spends over $800 billion each year on defense, which is 10 times more than Russia. American taxpayers must be really ripped off by the military-industrial complex.....

It's due to low unemployment

Or a botched ejaculation?

Nope, you are confused Moon Bat.

We had very low unemployment when Trump was President but we came much closer to meeting recruitment goals.

It is the military's equivalent of "go woke, go broke".
