Gen. Eric Smith, the assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, noted in opening remarks that only about 25 percent of the American population is qualified to enter service, and most disqualifiers are physical—either medication or fitness.

I’m sure the prospect of more immigrants and women in the military will cause China and Russia to quake in their boots.

Maybe they should ask themselves why multi-generational military families are telling their sons “No! You will not go into the military!”

Our military is going to get its ass kicked the next time they have to go into battle. Americans aren’t really into freedom anymore. They’d much rather the government and its Feddies babysit them.

The 25 percent that do qualify don’t want anything to do with the military and the communist/woke agenda there.

We want men...not mice. Women have always been part of our forces. As to immigrants...illegals do not belong in this country.

Always disregard every sentence that includes the weasel words “experts say”.

Yep, these white boys who won two World Wars can’t hack it any longer, so the very ones they defeated have to incorporated into the military to save the nation.

That is a lie. Propaganda. The REAL reason normal American teen boys won't join up is the woke culture. The fatso sh!t is a cover up.

Reimplement the draft and include women this time. Of course family members of all government bureaucrats, entertainers, college students and pro athletes will be exempt.
Maybe the women and minorities will finally learn, albeit too late, the Democrats are not their friends . . .

Diversity as a result of seeking out and employing the most qualified candidates with a commitment-to-task is a great strength.
Manufactured diversity — changing regulations and standards to include anyone with a pulse in the name of 'inclusivity' — is not the way to build a strong military. It's a way to ensure defeat, as if victory is even a goal anymore...

They always took immigrants, even fresh off the boat. Including one in my own family. Way before my time, First World War.
Or do they really mean illegal immigrants?

The migrant invasion serves Biden an important purpose. Our kids won’t find jobs and will be forced into the military. GW Bush did the same thing.

Successful at what?
The type of combat going on in Ukraine?
Trenches artillery and fighting town by town, street by street, house by house, floor by floor? Needs more womyn?
Maybe womyn and migrant tank drivers?
Pilots?

Anyone using the word “diversity” in an argument has no argument. They also do not have a brain.
To: Bon of Babble
In a military made up of VOLUNTEERS I only want those that are CAPABLE and PATRIOTIC enough to join. Outside that, I don’t care who it is. Diversity is good ONLY as it means we have a mix of people that are PATRIOTIC and share COMMON VALUES of freedom.
If this means white men are EXCLUDED or not promoted when they have merit then this will be another woke disaster.

The military must recruit more women and more immigrants—and change its culture to embrace diversity as a strength—to be successful in the future to continue screwing things up like we have everything else. Signed,
