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.

Perhaps you can educate me and show me statements the military made claiming white people are the cause of all of the problems in America.

Americans of the German and the Scotch-Irish ancestry made up the core of our soldiers in our military....

That is my family. I have family members going back to the 1800’s who have been in all branches of the military.

The generation born in the 1990’s broke that chain when obama was running the show.

they are fed up with fighting in obscure places for folks that hate us or are just too lazy to do their own fighting with no clear winning objective and be done with it.

IMHO, whereever, Pax Carthage, via bomb and napalm, then, walk away. Leaving survivors begets generational war.

In a related inquiry, how is The Salvation Army doing with their fundraising efforts?

Doesn’t support the assertion I was commenting on, at all.

Baffled? BAFFLED???

Dear God, they can’t be serious. The leaders of our government and military have told us in no uncertain terms that white men are scum, lowlife, women-hating, nazis. Now they’re baffled these same men don’t want to enlist in a military that isn’t sure if they’re men, women, or trans something?

Fat chance.

Glad to hear they are no longer going to be forced to listen to leadership saying they are evil and a threat because they are white and patriotic, and on top of that, forced to take experimental Covid vaccines. Besides, Biden is going to get us into some kind of war where they will have to fight with one hand tied behind their back.

The military knows the reason for the decline in white recruitment. They all know. They also know that if they talk openly about the reason they will suffer adverse consequences in their careers.

Gee, I dunno why White folks wouldn’t enlist. Maybe it’s because the military is now run by wokists who would crap their pants if they saw the Red Chinese Army coming at them?

Eventually, nearly all of the military will be non-white, with a fair number of non-citizens. It will be at that point the military will cease to exist for the safety of all Americans.
We are pretty close to that point already.

If you like being ignored and treated like crap by the DEI staff at your local license tag office and other government bureaucracies you will like the democrats new WOKE military.

If the white males avoiding the military are like me, they’d rather make gravel at Leavenworth than fight for Brandon. Even if drafted.

“ What's scarier than the drastic drop in white recruits is the STUPIDITY OF THE MILITARY FOR NOT SEEING THE REASON FOR IT“

Anyone “baffled” by this has already been promoted beyond their competence.
