Report: Army Staff ‘Baffled’ by Sharp Decline in White Recruits in Last Five Years
Breitbart ^ | 01/11/2024 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 01/11/2024 2:16:28 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Army’s recruiting of white soldiers in 2023 had dropped almost by half in the last five years, according to a report.

That dramatic decline has coincided with a push by the service to increase recruitment of a more diverse population, according to a report.

The decline of white recruits has also coincided with the Army missing its target of 65,000 recruits in 2023 by 10,000.

Military.com reported Wednesday that Army internal data showed that a total of 44,042 new Army recruits were categorized by the service as white in 2018, but that number has fallen consistently each year to a “low” or 25,070 in 2023. The outlet reported a six percent dip from 2022 to 2023 was the most significant drop. No other demographic group has seen such a precipitous decline, it added.

Gee , join the Army and die for Biden. Never get promoted because of your skin color. Sign me up!

Die for President Sniffer and die for Hunter and his private school thugs who don't have to follow the laws we're forced to follow. Hell would freeze over first.

Ultimately the growing DEI in leadership positions will be the overwhelming problem.

what role models in society do guys 18-24 have these days?

You mean heterosexual white guys of that age, including Christians? Why should society offer those scum anything beyond help with suicide? They are nothing but racist, transphobic oppressors, and the American military will make damn sure they know it.

As we all know, it’s related to two things -— the dissipated gen zees and the way the Biden administration has ruined the military.

It’s obvious that Army staff are woke moronic idiots.

“We don’t understand, we’ve signalled all the virtues and performed all the woke rituals, demonized whites as unrepentantly evil, why won’t whites join?” - Army staff

How about instead of giving fed gov employees a 5.2% salary increase, we give a 25% increase to every member of the military, sans a few officers?

Americans of the German and the Scotch-Irish ancestry made up the core of our soldiers in our military. Now that’s gone, who’s going to pick up the slack?

Demographics is destiny.

Whites of younger military recruiting age are already a minority in this country within their age bracket and younger. It’s just a matter of time that our military is made up of the kind of people who would love nothing more than to turn their guns and training against whites in this country.

We are on the threshold of becoming the next post-Rhodesia Zimbabwe.

It is simply not credible that anyone in command does not understand the issue. The problem is an institutional blindness- the current CJCS has dismissed clear indications of a resistance to social programming as "white fragility", hence unworthy of consideration. Too bad only an academic or a fool (but I repeat myself) can define his way out of an obvious problem like that. The real world doesn't care.

Just make sure that even though they pass on military service, they get in some range time.

I’ve not heard the military making the claim that white people cause all the problems in America, correct.

Probably should have raised smarter kids so they could be officers.

They are smart enough to know that you, personally, are not worth defending.

Democrats never are.

When one considers that our complex weapons systems were designed by Whites*, for operation by Whites, then the ‘adventures’ around the world that the Neocons seem to enjoy doing gets even SCARIER.

*Asians count as Whites for this discussion and they are very well represented as designers of this hardware.

If the Democrats want to get absolutely slaughtered in elections, by all means bring back the draft.
