Army Reducing Its Numbers in Face of Recruiting Difficulties

Army Reducing Its Numbers in Face of Recruiting Difficulties
Retired Army Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for National Defense, called the situation unprecedented.

“The Army has not faced such recruiting headwinds in the last 30 years. I am unaware of a situation where the Army has cut its end strength in response to a negative recruiting outlook,” he said....

Spoehr said the Army’s decision would make units less capable

... fewer and fewer individuals are interested in joining the military, also in part thanks to the Biden administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal

“There is a sense among the American public that the military is becoming increasingly political and that topics such as race and gender equity, critical race theory, and wokeism in general are commanding more attention, at the cost of readiness,”
Who would have ever guessed????

Its not just the 2020 rioting and Soro's DAs letting violent criminals back on the street... the US Army is now slowly evaporating... we are increasingly on our own.

It is not the economy that is leading to this: United States Employment Rate

US Employment is not yet back to pre-COVID levels:

I can understand the hesitancy to sign my life over to Uncle Climate Change Trans Gender Equity Abortion Joe.

We'll be alright. It just might hurt more than it needs to.
