US military modifies requirements to tackle enlistment shortages

(NewsNation) — A pilot program to get army recruits into better physical and academic shape has been successful, with nearly 10,000 recruits graduating from it about a year after its debut.

The program preparing recruits for boot camp came in response to the military’s low enlistment numbers.

One of the biggest problems in recruiting is the growing number of young people who aren’t in the physical or academic shape to meet the military’s requirements.

“The results from the Future Soldier Preparatory Course have been very encouraging, providing more than 8,800 young men and women a path to serve in our all-volunteer force,” said Gen. Gary M. Brito, the commanding general for U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

Along with the additional training, the Army has simplified the often dreaded tape test, which is used to gauge soldiers’ body fat.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The left's hatred of America is bearing fruit in the military, it is becoming less physically fit with lower mental ability.  That means less able to do its job. :truce:
