| Americans Don't Want to Serve in Biden's Woke Military |
| 2022-06-30 |
| [Townhall] Every branch of military in the U.S. is struggling to recruit members under the Biden pentagon due to the Biden administration going to great lengths to implement wokeness across the military. Giving up meritocracy for a radical leftist social agenda, the Pentagon is scrabbling to meet its fiscal year 2022 recruitment goals. According to NBC, the military recruitment has nosedived in 2022 leaving a record low of Americans either not eligible or not willing to consider ever serving for the U.S. Center for Military Readiness President Elaine Donnelly said that President Joe Biden’s woke policies are to blame. The culture of the military has been eroded by several years of social engineering and woke polices," Donnelly said, adding that "it’s been accelerated by the current administration." Facing a long drought of recruiting, the military has not seen similar issues since 1973. Biden prioritizing transgender, LGBTQ and race are the driving forces turning young Americans away from wanting to serve. Donnelly said it send a "poor message" that discourages people from supporting the U.S. "It sends a message that if your son or daughter joins the military, if they’re not of a certain skin complexion or sex, they might be investigated for extremism," Donnelly said, adding "They alienated their constituency." This comes four months after Biden announced that nearly six million hours and $535,000 was spent indoctrinating the left’s "woke agenda" into the ranks. |

| #11 The irony is the young folks of today could use some old style boot camp. |

| #10 There is a character named Coke Bottle Glasses in Phase Line Green that is indicative of the McNamara’s Morons stage of the Vietnam Era draft. The Civil War draft obliterated the readiness of solid units like The Iron Brigade and The Irish Brigade. I don’t even want to fathom what type of draftees our current degraded society might poop out. Certainly wouldn’t want woke people on my left and right even in peacetime operations. |

| #8 I can see it now....women (if that's what we are calling them these days) who want an abortion will run off and join the military. GI Bill? Nah. Defend the nation? Definitely "nah". |

| #5 Word trickles down if a high school coach is shit. Suddenly your 4 year playoffs program can't even make a decent starting lineup. |

| #4 Their 'woke' indoctrination is basically anti-American. So, why try defending it. They missed some fundamentals here. Now if you understand the Left, they've always accused our servicemembers as being just mercenaries. From that you get the disconnect and the head scratching why their program isn't working. Watch standards devolve (just like in education). One of those who served in the transition from draft to volunteer army, you're going to bring back the unmotivated, druggies, criminals, social misfits that command will spend 80% of its time dealing with rather than training. Better to have 6 men in a 10 squad who are trained and motivated than fill it in with the destructive distractions that destroy good morale and discipline. |

| #3 Red State White boys don't see the point in serving under POS Austin, "White Rage" Milley, or Biden. |
