Is the military too ‘woke’ to recruit?
How political perceptions may be stifling the willingness to serve

Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Michael Means Jr. gives instructions to new recruits on Parris Island, S.C. (Cpl. Vanessa Austin/Marine Corps)
The Army missed its recruiting goal by about 15,000 new soldiers in 2022, coming up 25% short of its goal at a time when each of the services were struggling to meet their benchmarks. Military officials worry that all of the branches have had to reach deep into their pools of delayed entry applicants, a move that puts them behind in recruiting for the new year.
Military recruiters have leaned on tried-and-true factors to explain the challenges, including low unemployment and a dearth of applicants up to physical, educational and behavioral standards.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL It is very possible that our military is missing out on getting quality recruits to the woke of today's military. I encourage all my students who are interested in joining to do so regardless of which branch they choose. Serving in our military is an honor. I'm proud I did. Out of 194 teachers and other staff at my high school only seven (including the two instructors in the JROTC program) served military time. I'm the only Marine!

Python team being silly again on the parade square. Camp it up!
It's funny is the Monty Python flag officer at the beginning of this video is gay. So I don't want you gay people putting me down when even Monty Python thought it was funny back then. Cancel culture will not stop humor!
