The US Navy failed to meet its recruitment goals. The secretary of the Army admitted that the Army would not reach its “very ambitious” recruiting goal this year, reports The Washington Examiner.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee that the service would fall short of its goal of 65,000 new recruits. The Army fell roughly 15,000 active-duty troops short of its goal last year of having 60,000 new soldiers.
“We are doing everything we can to get as close to it as possible, but we are going to fall short of that. … We didn’t get into this situation in a year, and I think it’s going to take us more than a year” to fix the problem, Wormuth said.
Military.com reports:
Army leaders say the issues with recruitment are an amalgamation of barriers getting applicants into the ranks, topped by the high percentage of Americans in prime recruiting age simply being unqualified for service. Army planners estimate only about 23% of 17- to 24-year-olds can meet the service’s expectations, with many applicants failing the military’s SAT-style entrance exam or being too overweight to serve.
In August, to combat the worsening recruiting trends, the Army started the Future Soldier Preparatory Course. There, applicants who came up just shy on body fat or academic standards attend a pre-basic training course for whichever of those two standards they didn’t satisfy for enlistment. Army leaders have touted the program as graduating roughly 3,300 out of 4,000 applicants who went onto basic training and who otherwise would not have been allowed to serve. Right now, the course is set to be able to train roughly 12,000 applicants per year. The Navy also started its own pre-basic courses in March.
Why do you think we’re getting unqualified applicants?
A November 2022 survey from the Ronald Reagan Institute found trust and confidence in the U.S. military stands at 48%, down from 70% in November 2018. The primary reason for the more than 20-point decline was the “perceived politicization of the military,” according to a press release from the organization.
This is a military recruiter, a Drag Queen influencer.
The Navy brought a drag queen ‘Harpy Daniels’ who is an active duty sailor to participate in a pilot program aimed at targeting a wider array of potential recruits through digital platforms.

US Navy Recruitment Ad
This is the Army, but it makes the point. It’s the WOKE US Army:
If you had to guess which military would win, which would you choose?
China’s recruitment ad:
NBC News is mocking this ad, not drag queen recruitment ads, but this Russia recruitment ad. There is something about saying “real men” that makes NBC cringe.

We didn’t get into this situation in a year, and I think it’s going to take us more than a year” to fix the problem, Wormuth said.
This foolish woman is correct, it did take more than a year, it took a little over 2 years and specifically since January 21, 2021.
They need people who will turn their weapons on Americans…or won’t fight at all.
Why do we let the Nation’s Insane People even walk the Streets. Today, 20% of Americans have a serious mental issue and 2% are just plan dangerous. The People who are Dangerous, are especially dangerous to Children. The Mentally Ill belong in treatment centers, because mental Illness is becoming contagious. Increasingly people suffer from dysphoria, and they don’t have a solid grasp of reality because they are surrounded by crazy people. Many belong to groups that sound like Death Cults. Somehow it’s OK for them to openly call for the imprisonment or even the death of normal people when normal people refuse to accept their insanity as normal. What do these people actually contribute to Society beyond being a Freak Show?
I would never suggest that that a normal person join the Military today. The Military is normalizing Insanity. When the Chips are down you need to know that the Guy next to you has your back. Sorry, you can’t count on a Woman. On the battle field a woman is at best half a soldier. Has an All Woman Battalion ever won a major battle? I’ve worked with scores of Nay Seals, not one was a Woman. You definitely can’t count on someone with Mental Issues, they have already cracked up. We can’t create proper unit cohesion any more because their are just too many weak links. A Military Unit has to function as a team and all we get today is dysfunctional Politically Correct Individualist who are worried about using the proper pronoun and not hurting people’s feelings.
Today, America can’t count on it’s Military. Real War isn’t won by pressing buttons and Political Correctness. Wars are won by breaking your enemy! We haven’t done that since WWII. We have forgotten how to go on the field of battle and fight with little or nothing until we have won the War and we no longer know how to train Men in mass to do that. When I was in the Navy we did so much with so little that we became qualified to do anything with nothing. We had to because our enemies already mastered that. The WWII vets are gone, so we no longer understand what all out war for survival is like.
Women and men have different abilities and strengths. Mentally and physically.
That is why – to give one example out of many – the US military asks that men be able to do 45 push ups but ask women to be able to do only 19.
That explains why that male swimmer who identified as woman was not even in the top 500 as a male swimmer, yet he easilly beat some of the best female swimmers.
Which is also why about 90% of women chose to study fields that are not in Science, not in Technology, not in Engineering, and not in Mathematics. Because the female brain is not “wired” the same way the male brain is.
Females usually have better hearing than men, better memories for things such as long series of numbers and letters etc etc
There is also one big difference and it has been proven in studies ( back when we were still allowed to do that) Females ( on average ) have empathy and compassion for bad people, while males have very little.
In other words females are much more likely to feel sorry for a criminal or an enemy combatant, and be lenient with them than a male is.
That “feature” makes females better mothers, but can make a female a bad police officer, a bad prison guard, a bad soldier, a bad prosecutor or judge.
Physically and mentally, most women are not like men and most men are not like women.
There are exceptions but in most cases, men and women have different strengths and different weaknesses.
It is completely absurd to expect each gender to perform exactly as the other gender.
The biggest problem today is the skyrocketing numbers of woman with PTSD in the Military. Woman, as a Group, can’t process the Death and Carnage of War. Woman in the Military as Troops is just plain Insane.
In the Military, we need Alpha Males to break things and and kill the enemy with dispatch, Woman need to make sure those Men have everything they need in a timely manner to make sure those Men can do that job efficiently. Woman don’t even do well with battle field medicine, let the wimpy guys do that.
If you can’t segregate in your Mind killing people in defense of Country, so you can sleep at night, you don’t belong in the Military. A soldier is a special kind of person who is something of a Psychopath at work and who is calm and balance in normal everyday society. A Good Soldier is indeed a very special person!
WWI Hero, Sergeant York, is a good example of a great Soldier. He was a Pacifist, but when order to take out a German Machine Gun Nest; he took it out and captured over 130 Germans in the Process. The Military needs more Sgt. York’s and Generals like Patton. We don’t need Social Justice Warriors.
The “be a man” was what I thought of after reading the title.
This man seems annoyed at the nuisance of grenades.
