A recent report in military news site Task & Purpose highlights that military recruitment could soon slump nationwide in large part because America’s youth are too fat or in other cases too dumb to fight.
Going back a number of years this has been an increasing concern expressed by a growing chorus of both active and retired military leaders. It was also weeks ago expressed in a Dec.17 letter to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller signed by almost 800 retired admirals and generals.
They warn that over 70% of young Americans between 17 and 24 can’t make into military ranks because they are “too poorly educated, too overweight, or have a history of crime or substance abuse.”
This is what happens when democrats are teaching kids
TRUTH!
Adding to the problem is the promises made to take care of our military are being reneged on!
The previous benefits included medical for life upon retirement – now we have to pay for it.
The pay and benefits are atrocious based on thee risks faced by our service-personnel!
The BS that they have to put up with during peace-time is daunting…
Wait till we need them and nobody’s there!
