Are the powers that be planning a war?
The US Army last week “released a recruitment ad that critics argue is a sure sign the military is gearing up for war,” Townhall’s Leah Barkoukis reports. “There are no signs of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the 30-second spot, which features white males jumping out of a plane.”
After several years of stressing wokeness and diversity — and telling troops, “If you’re a white male, you are part of the problem” — the Army is suddenly seeking old-fashioned soldiers from traditional sources.
That’s because, like it or not, if you’re looking for combat soldiers, you’re going to be recruiting heavily among white males — and, worse yet from the wokies’ standpoint, white males from the South and Midwest.
Though the Army has become more diverse overall, historically it’s been white males who have disproportionately signed up for combat roles.
This remains true enough that the Army has been worrying about it for a while, though mostly in terms of its impact on the promotion of minority and female officers, since senior leadership comes largely from combat or “tactical” commands.
The United States is involved, though not yet with substantial troops, in three theaters: Ukraine, China/Taiwan/the Philippines and the Middle East.

A family member who’s in the Army has shared numerous stories of filthy, broken-down barracks, unfed troops and uncaring officers.
...
not the fault of the troops — it’s the fault of the leaders.
But who wants to sign up to be led by people who don’t want to do their jobs?
Politicized militaries don’t win wars, and they don’t attract fighting soldiers.
Changing that starts at the top, not with TV ads.

It will take 20 years to rebuild the military to where it was, before they accepted homosexuals openly. Yes, it is probably too late considering everything else that is happening.
Too late to eradicate Wokism? I’m guessing not.
Biden will get you killed for nothing.
Who is stupid enough to sign up for that?
Slay them with faggotry
I had a customer that had gotten out of the Army after 10 years because of the woke crap.
Now they started running ads full of white guys.
Stay home white guys, they just want you to die overseas somewhere for something you’d never die for on your own.
“...the Army is suddenly seeking old-fashioned soldiers from traditional sources...”
Don’t look to Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio etc or anywhere in the south for your cannon fodder...you filth.
You’ll never get the ‘gay’ out of the military now. They’ve ditched what used to work for a non-workable situation. People will have to die now because of it.
The unbridled truth.
This is an easy fix:
Speaker Johnson attaches legislation to Ukraine Funding mandating that the Blood Relative of Every Federal Employee between the age of 17-35 be conscripted in to the Military IMMEDIATELY and then sent to Ukraine, Syria, Israel... wherever they are needed by our fearless leaders.
Why not those states ? Just curious

“It will take 20 years to rebuild the military to where it was”
The military was a wreck after the Vietnam war with Jimma Carta at the helm. Ronnie got it back into perfect order during his first term.
But I must admit what the current DC mob has done to the military makes Carter’s neglect of the military look like child’s play.
If Trump by some odd chance does get elected, and if he cleans house at the Pentagon and all the other agencies, and has GOP support, he can do it. But that’s quite a tall order.
I have a feeling there are enough good officers and NCO’s in the military to make it happen, provided the leftists are run out the door. It may require bringing back to active duty quite a number of loyal officers and NCO’s to help out.
The Army playing up transgender officers does not help.
“Biden will get you killed for nothing.”
WRONG! Biden is being paid plenty by the ChiComs to get us killed. New links to Chinese payoffs are found out regularly regarding the whole Biden family.
Jimmy Carter damage involved abandoning the troops and cowardly officers.
Obama/Bidon’s damage is much greater, imo. Not only did they put in cowardly officers, but actively hostile ones. The soldiers had to fully throat support for open sexuality between homosexuals and transgenders or they cold find themselves in getting a dishonourable discharge, confiscation of their pensions and even possibly a stay at Leavenworth.
I don’t know how to undue that within any single term.
How long does it take to come back from crazy?
Some never come back. Ask Moses.
God left the Israelites in the desert for
40 years to kill off a spoiled sick, irrecoverable populace.
White, straight males need to stay away from the armed forces.
What? What? You're not willing to die so 'the elties' in DC can pay back the money/graft/kickbacks they got from corrupt countries WITH YOUR LIFE or the lives of your family members? How selfish. /s
