Here Are 3 Reasons Why The U.S. Military Is Facing An Extremely Severe Recruiting Shortage In 2022
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
Should we be surprised that so few young adults want to serve in the U.S. military? When I was growing up, serving in the U.S. military was considered to be a noble profession. My own father was in the U.S. Navy throughout all my years in school, and I never once thought that he should leave to get a different job until he finally decided that it was time to retire. But now Joe Biden and his politically correct minions at the Pentagon have transformed our military into a laughingstock, and that should deeply grieve all of us. The U.S. military is one of our most important national institutions, but it continues to get weaker and weaker.
According to NBC News, every single branch of our military is having difficulty with recruiting in 2022…
Every branch of the U.S. military is struggling to meet its fiscal year 2022 recruiting goals, say multiple U.S. military and defense officials, and numbers obtained by NBC News show both a record low percentage of young Americans eligible to serve and an even tinier fraction willing to consider it.
The officials said the Pentagon’s top leaders are now scrambling for ways to find new recruits to fill out the ranks of the all-volunteer force. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks consider the shortfall a serious issue, said the officials, and have been meeting on it frequently with other leaders.
The Army is having the biggest problem with recruiting.
At this point, the Army has only reached 40 percent of its goal for this fiscal year.
That is terrible, because the fiscal year ends on September 30th.
Officials are primarily blaming a couple of factors for the shortfall. The pool of young people that are actually eligible for the military is shrinking, and the percentage of those that are eligible that actually intend to serve is also shrinking…
The pool of those eligible to join the military continues to shrink, with more young men and women than ever disqualified for obesity, drug use or criminal records. Last month, Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville testified before Congress that only 23% of Americans ages 17-24 are qualified to serve without a waiver to join, down from 29% in recent years.
An internal Defense Department survey obtained by NBC News found that only 9% of those young Americans eligible to serve in the military had any inclination to do so, the lowest number since 2007.
I think that it says a lot about our society that 77 percent of our young people are not even qualified to serve in the military.
That is absolutely pathetic.
And it is really alarming that such a low percentage of those that are actually eligible have any desire to do so.
How can we explain this?
Well, here are 3 reasons why a lot of young people out there are shunning the military these days…
#1 Political Correctness
Traditionally, a high percentage of military recruits come from homes that are both conservative and patriotic.
But thanks to the Biden administration, the U.S. military has now become a politically correct madhouse…
Start with President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day executive order prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. The order specifically opened doors for transgender men who want “access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports” reserved for women.
Under a DoD Instruction, all military personnel must embrace the notion that gender is “assigned at birth,” even though human DNA and chromosomes in every cell determine biological sex long before birth. Doctors, nurses, and chaplains must provide or support controversial treatments for gender dysphoria, including life-long hormones or irreversible surgeries, regardless of their own medical ethics or religious convictions.
And of course each June the political correctness in the military tends to reach a crescendo, and this year is certainly no exception…
President Biden’s obsequious Proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month sparked numerous displays of LGBT activism, including a high-level Pride Month event at the Pentagon.
Marine Corps headquarters tweeted an image of a helmet sporting six rainbow-colored “bullets.” Air Force Recruiting posted a picture of trainees running with a rainbow striped banner, not the Stars and Stripes, and in Germany, Ramstein Air Force Base sponsored their second “Drag Queen Story Time” for children.
If General Patton could see what our military has become, he would be rolling over in his grave.
But even though our military leaders are being relentlessly ridiculed, they keep producing more cringe-inducing videos for social media like this one…
What is a self-respecting young conservative that is thinking about joining the military supposed to think when he sees something like that?
#2 Vaccine Mandates
I warned that good people would be driven away from the military by the vaccine mandates that Joe Biden implemented, and that is precisely what has happened.
Needless to say, the majority of those that are opposed to vaccine mandates are conservative, and as I have already noted conservatives traditionally make up the largest pool of military recruits.
And not only is the military losing recruits, but it is also losing countless good people that are already serving in the ranks.
