In good conscience I couldn't recommend anyone joining up today. Even with the $50,000 carrot dangling. The BS is just too deep.

Maybe that lawyer in the earlier article that could not pay his student loan should read this!

Yep. Are they still pushing the CRT bullcrap on vets? I would imagine so as long as the Biden occupation retains their hold of the White house.

Your life is worth more than 50k. Don’t enlist and risk throwing your life away on some pointless foreign adventure.

Agreed. There is no way I’d enlist and potentially die for the corrupt idiots running things now.

“White rage” characterization doesn’t go over well when trying to recruit from your largest group of your recruiting base. Who wants to be part of a woke military? Milley and Austin have done irreparable harm to our national security. The next three years will be brutal in terms of recruitment and retention.

Conscript illegal aliens with the caveat that they can only serve overseas. If they serve with the legion, they may be granted Roman citizenship.

My SIN is in the 82nd. He says moral is shit. He lacks all confidence in leadership. There are a lot of problems behind the scenes beyond woke indoctrination and woke leadership that you would never know about by watching the news. You certainly wouldn’t hear about it from a recruiter. A $50k bribe won’t fix those problems and it will not attract the right recruits. The military can only be fixed from the top down. That begins with the Commander-in-chief and the joint chiefs. All their asses need to be fired. Clean up needs to continue down to the BC level. Half the BC’s in the 82nd are just political animals. There should be zero room for that in our military.

I got a $2000 reenlistment bonus in 1980 and felt like I was rich!

More likely being a Woke military.

No one wants to worry if they drop the soap in the shower.

And that’ll be paid in increments on your anniversary date. An extra 8k a year that they’ll take a fourth of back in taxes. So you’ll be in the gay woke leftist military for an extra 6k a year.

And supposedly you possess high skill levels. You can do better.
Go make a nice life, skip sleeping in the floor of a parking garage in DC or greeting Mexicans at the border.

All of this about to be dropped (standards to be LOWERED AGAIN!).

Another problem, he said, is that 70 percent of potential recruits are not qualified as a result of their criminal history or drug abuse or because they are not in shape to meet physical requirements.

And the 30% who are healthy and have no criminal record don't want to wear a mask all the time and don't want to take the needle. It must really suck to be a recruiter today. Especially an army recruiter.
