Green Berets Have Struggled for Years with Recruiting, Internal Data Shows
 
8 Jun 2023
Military.com | By Steve Beynon

Last year, the Army failed to hit its recruiting goal for the first time in decades. But the service's Special Forces has been struggling to bring in new talent since before the pandemic, recruiting data shows.

As Green Beret recruiting has faltered for years, the Army has also been chipping away at the size of its elite units.

The service has come up hundreds of Special Forces soldiers short of its goals each year since at least 2018, with one exception, based on the internal data reviewed by Military.com. Meanwhile, quality recruits are becoming increasingly scarce with fewer Green Beret applicants passing the service's grueling selection course each year.

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

Warrior types, like Green Berets, will accept cyborgs to fight with, but not gay and trannie cyborgs.  That kind of "closeness" isn't in their blood for the most part. **nononono*
