Much of the military will fall short of recruitment goals by as much as 25% this year — caused by a combination of obesity and falling patriotism in Gen Z and by restrictions on recruits having had therapy.
The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard are all expected to fall short of their recruitment goals this year, they told The Post.
“My generation is a real challenge,” 25-year-old Marine 2nd Lt. Matthew Weiss told the Post. “Something has to change.”
A spokesperson for the Air Force said they will likely miss their goal of 26,877 new recruits by 10%. The Coast Guard said they will likely only fill 75% of the number of full-time, non-commissioned recruits they need.
And as of April, the Navy, which has over 300,000 active duty personnel, was behind by 6,000 new recruits this year, and the Army by 10,000 out of their 65,000 goal.
The Marine Corps is on track to fill its ranks this year but said that just 23% of the recruitable population meet their medical, moral, and mental standards for service
lmmfao! moral standards needed to be recruited? with all the bs they are pushing on the troops? please do tell what is the measure used for this standard? how to drop the soap in the shower? how to fulfill the mission while wearing a dress? give me a break! no one in their right mind would allow their kid to forfeit their life for the corrupt elites running this so called free country!
WOKE GO BROKE applies to the Democrat Puppets who control the Military today !!!!! LOL LOL
