As Army Officials Report Catastrophic Enlistment Numbers, a Scary Last Resort Just Became Reality

The U.S. military has been struggling to keep recruitment numbers up and has fallen short of its goals this year. While some may want to dismiss this issue as just a military problem, the reasons behind it may be part of broader political and cultural battles in the U.S.

Military officials said that the Army fell short of its recruitment goal by about 15,000 soldiers, the Associated Press reported on Saturday.

That is about 25 percent short of its recruitment goal, the AP noted.

“In the Army’s most challenging recruiting year since the start of the all-volunteer force, we will only achieve 75 percent of our fiscal year 22 recruiting goal. The Army will maintain its readiness and meet all our national security requirements,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth announced in a statement to the AP.

“If recruiting challenges persist, we will draw on the Guard and Reserve to augment active-duty forces, and may need to trim our force structure,” Wormuth added.

  1. Nobody wants to be in a woke military. Nobody wants to go and fight in other countries while we don’t even protect our own. Nobody wants to go to war to protect the investments of politicians only to come home and be forgotten about.

  2. Who the hell would want to serve under our so-called commander in chief? He wants soldiers to go on food stamps! That’s how much he cares about Americans.

  3. i say send all the woketards! the alphabet crowd! they are such bad asses they can literally blow our enemies away!
