Recruitment is way up.
Recruitment is up because the economy is tanking.
Dead wrong. You can try to lie about that, and following your general
pattern of deflections, probably will. The simple answer is the
services changed their recruiting strategy (And lowered standards).
Most recently, the majority of "Democrat educated" candidates couldn't
pass the academic or physical requirements for entry, hence the
shortage.
80% of Americans ages 17 to 24 are unfit for military service

Lefties think folks who enter the military are somehow intellectually challenged. They couldn't be more wrong. We had to take tests that
determined what our individual capabilities were for MOS assignment. Astoundingly, "country kids" typically beat "city kids" by an average of
10-15 points on the ASVAB/GCT and other tests.
Some who had higher scores went to military schools that were in fact accelerated college courses (On campus) that crammed three years into
8-12 months. Those who passed spent an average of 16 hours a day during
that time. Those who didn't and washed out were assigned duties
commensurate with their efforts and desire to achieve. The eventual
reward (Selective Reenlistment Bonus) could be $100,000+ for reenlisting
when then first term is up.
Those less fortunate went into the grunts, tanks, artillery (Tim Walz calibre...) transportation, others.
Rgardless of what the eventual advanced skills were, the primary role
was to kill bad guys first. Smart troops fight smarter and survive.
Dumb ones think long / wrong and die without making a difference.
Transgenders and their supporters fall into the latter by choice.
