Report: Army Staff ‘Baffled’ by Sharp Decline in White Recruits in Last Five Years

The Army’s recruiting of white soldiers in 2023 had dropped almost by half in the last five years, according to a report.

That dramatic decline has coincided with a push by the service to increase recruitment of a more diverse population, according to a report.

The decline of white recruits has also coincided with the Army missing its target of 65,000 recruits in 2023 by 10,000.

Military.com reported Wednesday that Army internal data showed that a total of 44,042 new Army recruits were categorized by the service as white in 2018, but that number has fallen consistently each year to a “low” or 25,070 in 2023. The outlet reported a six percent dip from 2022 to 2023 was the most significant drop. No other demographic group has seen such a precipitous decline, it added.

  1. Yeah let minorities protect us. It won’t be long before they too are replaced with Robots and war will be faught like a game with no expenditure of human life. Those with the smartest toys win. It will be hard for most to imagine the are caught up in romantisized notions of valor and victory the heroes and the slain. We are already fighting virtual security wars and cyber attacks. Modern waring will not be measured by casualities,rape,pillaging and plundering. Soldiering will not be a career.

  2. Baffled???! My opinion is that there is no longer a stygma for a white to also collect “government assistance.” .why bother joining the Army when you can live free on welfare like everybody else?? Also, “Used to be” ,the judge would give young men a choice between enlisting or jail time. Now they just let them go with not even a harsh word, so the stores are closing due to uncontrolled theft.

  3. why is this a shock for years the whites have not been promoted by their ability and minorities have always been given points and other additives’ to make them look more qualified to get the promotions just like all government agencies have done for years and they are tired of getting screwed over
