Woke policies affect recruitment
“The article said: 'We must rebuild a community where veterans are always present to inspire those around them.' Veterans are always present. We just don't recognize America anymore. I told my children to stay the hell away from military service. The progressive liberals have nearly destroyed the services with their woke nonsense. I wouldn't recommend military service to anyone now.”
“I spent 10 years in the Army. I planned on making a career but it got so hateful and political. I was passed over several times for promotions just because the Army had to promote minorities and females. I wouldn't recommend today's military to anyone. It's a joke.”
“When the U.S. military (even the Marines) has "diversity officers", aka commissars, you know all you need to know about why recruiting is horrible.”
"My neighbor wants completely different things than I do, and even wants my religion and ideas removed from public life, and I’m supposed to fight for him? No thank you. I’m supposed to fight for a nation that wants to dismantle traditional ways of family and life? I’m supposed to fight for a nation that considers my values and faith to be intolerable and even hate speech?”
“The question is why would we veterans encourage enlistment in a military that has lost the focus on those things that made our military great, those things we loved best about it?”
“I recently talked 2 nephews out of it. I served 10 years with multiple tours to Iraq and was a recruiter. I would highly advise against service with the way things are being run right now.”
“Americans want to serve. They just don't want to serve under tyranny.”
