The Army's Recruiting Problem Is Male

The issue is convincing men to put on the uniform.

A decade of declining recruitment numbers for the Army is almost entirely attributable to a significant drop in male recruiting as female enlistments have remained relatively flat, internal service data reviewed by Military.com shows.

 
Since 2013, male enlistments have dropped 35%, going from 58,000 men enlisting in 2013 to 37,700 in 2023, according to the service data. Meanwhile, female recruitment has hovered around 10,000 recruits each year.

The stark numbers paint a clear picture of a significant source of the military's recruiting struggles, with the Army making up the lion's share of the entire force and thus needing the greatest volume of new enlistments every year. Those shortfalls have contributed to the service overworking its force, something its senior leadership has conceded is a significant problem.

They can't say that!  THEY CAN'T SAY THAT! Since the days of thoroughly woke Milley, the military has maintained there is no difference between male and female!!  So, to say this is a male problem is pure hypocrisy! :nono:

Why go where you not only may have to face enemy fire from in front of you, but where some zampolit is likely to stab you in the back, and where there is a definite likelihood of NOT getting promoted on merit while those around you are promoted on some aspect of their preferences or DNA?
If you're going to have to deal with sh*t on a daily basis, get a plumber's license and get paid for it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
