| 2022-09-17 |
| [ZeroHedge] The US Army has a major recruiting problem and can't find enough young people who meet the basic requirements to enlist, according to Army Times. Lt. Gen. Maria Gervais, second in command for Army Training and Doctrine Command, sounded off Thursday about the troubling developments. She highlighted disqualification rates for potential recruits jumped from 30-40% (pre-Covid) to a whopping 70% this year due to obesity, low test scores, and/or drug use. |

| #5 Ref #4: There have been race and gender driven promotion quotas in the Army for decades. You need not sit on a promotion board to know they exist, you only have to casually follow the careers of some of those promoted. It's a small fraternity. Assignment and senior service school selection follow a similar process. |

| #4 How many 'military family' candidates have a relative that left early because of Woke bovine excrement and/or being passed over for promotion do to the sin of being 'born white'? It doesn't have to be 'True' it only has to be an 'understanding' malaise poisoning a traditional recruiting pool. |

| #2 Maybe the recruiters should go over the the Group W bench and try their luck with the mother rapers and father stabbers. And maybe even the father rapers. That's not such a big deal now in the New Woke Army. |

| #1 Well, they get to see alot of disabled people left over from the last fracas that the PTB got involved in, and you can tell that the "deciders" are just iching to get another one going. I myself would advise against it, I'm sorry to say. |
