US Army facing major decline in white recruits: Report
 
JANUARY 11, 2024 TIMOTHY FRUDD
A new report claims that the recent U.S. Army recruitment shortage can partially be attributed to a significant decrease in the number of white Army recruits over the past five years.

According to internal Army recruitment data obtained by Military.com, the significant decline in white Army recruits over the past five years has captured the Army’s attention since the decline comes as the Army fell roughly 10,00 recruits short of its goal in fiscal year 2023. With a goal of 65,000 new recruits, the U.S. Army reported roughly 55,000 new recruits in 2023.


Military.com reported that the Army had 44,042 new white Army recruits in 2018. However, the number of white Army recruits has decreased each year since 2018, falling to a low of 25,070 white Army recruits in 2023. The most significant decrease in white Army recruitment was a 6% drop from 2022 to 2023. Additionally, Military.com noted that while there have been other demographic shifts during that same time period, no other demographic has experienced such a sharp decline.

Gen. Davis' plan is working like a charm!

When the administration and military leadership is so biased against Whites, especially White Christian Conservatives, is anyone surprised that they are not lining up for abuse? Not even Gomer Pyle would be surprised by this. What's next, will we be reading about how the racist Whites by not enlisting are forcing a disproportionate number of people of color to fight and die? Those White bastards!

White flight from the cities you built by going woke and spitting at the very demographics that once supported you the most (Southern White Males). I imagine the same is happening to police departments across America.

Army Staff ‘Baffled’ by Sharp Decline in White Recruits in Last Five Years

The Army’s recruitment of white soldiers dropped by almost half in the last five years, coinciding with efforts to increase diversity.

The decline led to the Army missing its 2023 recruitment target by 10,000.

While black and Hispanic recruitment remained relatively flat, their percentage increased due to the decline in white recruits. (Trending: GOP Rep. Mace Clashes Directly With Hunter Biden At Hearing)
 
An Army official reportedly told Military.com, “There’s a level of prestige in parts of conservative America with service that has degraded.”

“Now, you can say you don’t want to join, for whatever reason, or bad-mouth the service without any cultural guilt associated for the first time in those areas,” the officer continued.

Does this mean they haven't "woke" to the problem yet?  Great DEI in the morning!

If it's the last five years, that means it began during the Trump Administration.  Even before Covid.
