[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.

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

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.

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".

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.

The irony is the young folks of today could use some old style boot camp.
Commentary bi Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
"You give us Zmeinny as a goodwill gesture, we'll shut up about Kremenchug." -- my speculation.
The RF Ministry of Defense announced https://t.me/boris_rozhin/55644 that as part of a "goodwill gesture" it will withdraw troops from Zmeinny Island to unblock Ukrainian ports for the withdrawal of grain.
Negotiations on this matter continued in Turkey for more than a month.
With regard to the withdrawal of troops from the Zmeinny Island, which is presented as a "step of good" will, all this is seen as part of behind-the-scenes agreements on the export of grain from Ukraine, negotiations on which have been dragging on for a long time in Turkey and progress on which was announced through the UN.
Goodwill here As for the military component of leaving Zmeinoye, which is hiding behind agreements in Turkey to unblock the export of grain, it is quite obvious that the attacks on the island (using Western guns and issues of ensuring the retention of the island (from the last, which was stated, a hit from the Pantsir air defense missile system last week).
It is obvious that this "goodwill gesture" will be presented as a success of the NATO weapons that have been fired at Zmeinny since May and, accordingly, serve as a motivation for further increasing supplies in order to achieve new "goodwill gestures" - the wording is, of course, complete atas.
Also, all the targeting coordinates have been carefully mapped.

I’m waiting for some ‘goodwill’ to fall out of the sky on that damn bridge linking Crimea with the mainland; thing sticks out like a nudist in a convent just begging to be hit…

[ColonelCassad] 1. Lisichansk.
Today, the Lisichansk Oil Refinery has been taken, fighting continues in Verkhnekamenka, in the area of Belaya Gora, Privolye (there are reports of the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine), as well as in Lisichansk itself. The enemy is partially withdrawing to Seversk, where a new line of defense is being built.
2. Artemovsk.
Fighting continues in Klinovoe, our troops have advanced in the village. Pokrovsky has no special changes. The enemy also holds supply lines to the Novolugansk and Uglegorsk TPPs.
3. Soledar.
Fighting continues near Nikolaevka, in Belogorovka and Berestovo. The enemy is still holding the front, but soon the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have to solve the problem of the offensive of the RF Armed Forces from the north, after the completion of the liberation of Lisichansk, the main pressure will be on Seversk and Soledar.
4. Slavyansk.
Fights at Bogorodichny, Krasnopolye, Prishib, Sidorovo. The pace of progress towards Slavyansk is still low.
5. Kharkov.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have ousted the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Dementievka and are intensifying the fire destruction of enemy positions on the outskirts of Kharkov. Opportunities for advancement are being felt in the area of the Upper Passages, Uda, Tsupovka. The processing of the Zolochevsky fortified area is also underway.
6. Avdievka.
On the front line without significant changes. Artillery shelling of Donetsk became less intense after the intensification of counter-battery work.
7. Ugledar.
After recent attempts at an offensive near Pavlovka, Yegorovka and Shevchenkovo, the enemy, having suffered heavy losses, was forced to reduce his activity, and the battles here are again developing in a positional manner. In the area of Novomikhailovka and Marinka, no changes.
8. Zaporozhye.
On the line Kamenskoe-Orekhov-Gulyaipole-Velikaya Novoselovka without significant changes. In the Kamenskoye area, the largest exchange of prisoners of war since the beginning of the SVO took place - they changed 144 to 144 people. Among those exchanged from the Ukrainian side were 43 wounded Azov militants. Among ours are several pilots.
9. Nikolaev.
At the front, no significant changes. In the Nikopol direction, the enemy is trying to crush in the Potemkino area. Nikolayev continues to be subjected to intense missile strikes. Activation in this direction is quite possible in July.
10. Odessa.
Ukraine continues to prepare for attempts to attack the island of Serpents as part of the political task. In the coming weeks, this will certainly result in shelling of the island from the MLRS and OTRK, as well as attempts to strike from the air. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Black Sea Fleet are also preparing for these attempts.
Ukraine needs at least some kind of victory against the background of the retreat in the Donbass. In addition, the US and Britain are trying to challenge the control of the Black Sea Fleet in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.
