Guess they figure that it doesn’t take much intelligence to be cannon fodder for their anti-white “cause”... They should have plenty of low-IQs to select from.

I had to deal with the post-Vietnam Cat IV issue back in the day.

Here we freaking go again.

1. Tell everyone white kids are just too unfit to serve; too fat, too stupid, too criminal, to mentally unbalanced.

2. Tell everyone there is a recruiting shortage coming.

3. Do not enlist whites, slowly process them, discourage them.

4. Claim whites are not enlisting.

5. Demand to enlist illegal aliens to fill the gap.

Nixing the DEI BS and refraining from demonizing whites would be far more helpful.

The Woke Army: We don’t recruit excellence. We recruit targets.

Unless our weapons systems can be downloaded and operated as an app, we’re doomed.

I’m pretty sure that “Our Democracy” has no serious intention of fighting a war against China, Russia, or Iran.

I’m pretty sure that “Our Democracy” is focused on waging war against domestic troublemakers (that’s us). Having an army made up of illegal aliens is perfect for their plans.

Substitute “illegal aliens” for military fighting men from other countries brought in as illegal aliens. See Michael Yon and the Darien Gap in Panama for more. Our own Travis McGee plays a part in that reporting.

This experiment was tried before and it failed. From Wikipedia”

“Project 100,000, also known as McNamara’s 100,000, McNamara’s Folly, McNamara’s Morons, and McNamara’s Misfits,[1][2] was a controversial 1960s program by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to recruit soldiers who would previously have been below military mental or medical standards. Project 100,000 was initiated by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in October 1966 to meet the escalating workforce requirements of the U.S. government’s involvement in the Vietnam War. According to Hamilton Gregory, author of the book McNamara’s Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War, inductees of the project died at three times the rate[1] of other Americans serving in Vietnam and following their service had lower incomes and higher rates of divorce than their non-veteran counterparts. The project was ended in December 1971.[3]”

Scores of 100 or higher?…

When I took the ASVAB, 99 was the highest possible.
It means you were in the top 1% of test takers.

Soon they will bring back felony deferment enlistment options.

I had a friend in high school whose older brother and one of his buddies stole a motor home from a dealer lot. They got caught and were offered enlistment instead of prison. One of them got his paperwork in order and enlisted first, The other had a slow lawyer and enlisted two weeks later. In the interim the Pentagon changed the policy from a required two year enlistment to five years for court ordered enlistments. The funny part is that the first one, my friend's older brother, loved the Marine Corps and ended up retiring from it. The second one, the five year guy, absolutely hated it and couldn't wait to get out.

Correct. They will become our Military, and will be turned against us. Could be that some of them already happen to have ‘military’ experience... Notably, where they come from, being in the Military means having absolute control over your country’s people vs. defending the nation from.... invaders.
