Yep. Plus a lot do not want to be forced to get the jab.

Actually, the AFA is acknowledging it. They’ve said publicly they want cadet wing demographics to match the general population. They’re basically discouraging white male applicants. These boys are taking the not so subtle hint that they are not welcome and shouldn’t bother applying.

In other news, the AF Academy proudly proclaimed that it would ENSURE that at least 50% of its new entrants would be non-white.

Clot shot boogie!

Healthy people dropping like flies, cancer and infertility rates going through the roof, among other maladies a wrecked immune system delivers. The other 54% are morons to place themselves under leadership that said NOTHING about mandating experimental injections, in clear violation of the US Constitution and the Nuremberg Protocols.

https://www.aei.org/op-eds/why-bidens-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-is-unconstitutional/

https://medicalkidnap.com/2021/04/06/the-nuremberg-code-the-universal-right-of-informed-consent-to-medical-interventions-has-been-recognized-in-us-law-since-at-least-1914/

The left claims the Nuremberg Protocols don’t apply because it isn’t experimentation, it’s a “vaccine.” No, it isn’t, and changing the definition of vaccine doesn’t make it a vaccine anymore than I can claim to be a firetruck.

“I was on the admissions board at the naval academy. We get 40K applicants and accept 1200. So what. Now we get 20K and pick 1200. This is just crying over a statistic number.”

Look at the trend line and consider the context.

As a percent of the population, fewer pro-American, highly qualified men exist; and fewer still want to join Biden's woke military.

That seems like a bad thing to me. To Biden and his handlers, this is the best thing in the world.

You’re still getting the Ivy League degree for free applications. What’s dropping is interest from boys serious about a military career for patriotic reasons.

You are correct. Applying to a service academy is a multi year process. You don’t just drop an app in the mail. White boys have gotten the word. They are not welcome unless they are an athlete or connected. OTOH, the world is an oyster for a competent young female. We have become a gynocracy without a doubt.

“A major reason, which the Academy will not acknowledge, for the decline in applicants is that the culture of the AFA has changed to promote racial and radical leftist ideologies.”

They're claiming it's the ideology because they can't tell the truth that pilots are suffering adverse effects from the Jim Jones Jab that the military issued illegal diktats to mandate.

It's the Air Force Academy, and pilot candidates in particular have been warned that they can die or suffer a health condition that will ground them permanently.

I served under Carter, Reagan, then Slick. We lost a LOT of Captains and Senior NCOs (E-7) during the, ‘Don’t ask, Don’t Tell’ foolishness.

I got out in 1993 after Operation Desert Storm. We had a special needs kid that needed me at home.

The left is shooting their wad with their communist takeover.

These same people who would willing risk their lives to defend the nation may well be the same people to save the nation from the communists and Godless forces controlling AmeriKa.

The people who enjoy risking their lives will become the resistance or partisan remnants who stage hit and run attacks on the true enemies of America.

Imagine this generations future Special Forces, Seals, Combat Controllers (AF), Airborne paratroopers and Airmobile dudes (and a few chicks in the mix;)), becoming the 80’s Army of One. Just one person with being the subject of the current USG authorities manhunt in future where democrats are wanted dead or alive by the very political opposition that is making their political opposition ILLEGAL.

When America comes back from the current “Illegalization of Trump Voters”, the DNC will have no socialists... and all the peoples of the world will be throwing off the yoke of the Facist NWO.

2020 U.S. Census revealed that in the demographic breakout of all people <18 years of age, whites are a minority for the first time.

“2020 U.S. Census revealed that in the demographic breakout of all people <18 years of age, whites are a minority for the first time.”

Yup—another “crazy conspiracy theory” became a conspiracy fact.

The Air Force may have to start using unmanned tech.

I expect that we will begin to see more Air Force “training accidents”—and the “experts” will not be able to figure out why....

I attended the Naval Academy, retired from the Navy reserves. Three of my children attended service academies (1 USNA, 2 USAFA). I never consciously encouraged my children to attend a service academy. In today’s environment, I would actively discourage them from applying.

“ Qualified? Does that mean they have to be gay?”

They can’t find enough flying fags without monkey pox and their recruitment numbers are in the toilet where they belong
