t just got easier to get into the Army. Now aspiring soldiers without graduations under their belts can still hang government-issued Sig Sauer M17s from them.
Military.com reports that the U.S. Army is dropping its requirement for enlistees to possess either a high school diploma or GED certificate.
This comes, per the outlet, amid an “escalating recruiting crisis.”
On Thursday, the service announced that individuals may enlist without those previously required education certifications if they ship to basic training this fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1.
To be clear, entrants still have to take a test:
Recruits must also be at least 18 years old and otherwise qualify for a job in the active-duty Army.

It will take low educational morons to take orders from high educational morons with a political agenda.

It's getting scary. I have heard about 70% of age appropriate recruits are not suitable for service. They are either physically or mentally incapable of military service.

Education is racist anyway, doncha know. I just wouldn't want to be downrange when they're doing 2+2=5 trying to lay an artillery piece.

Too late, US Army. The ones you want are all preparing for the coming battle. But, good luck with the LGBTQ elementary school crowd.

If we recognize the military is being run by wokesters, what do you think our enemies are thinking? My goodness, why not just run up the white flag and be done with it. No one wants to enlist and the men in officer training are being indoctrinated to care more about pronouns than caring about winning wars. This is absolute madness and beyond dangerous and irresponsible. And it all began with the boy king.

It must not have accrued to Diaper Joe and the other Democrat morons that a strong standing army is needed to suppress the unruly masses. How will Diaper Joe and the Democrat morons impose more fascist dictates and then suppress a revolt without an army?

My controller is a retired Marine bird col.
He used to help with recruiting.
Recruiting with core recruits — the guys like him (and me to a less degree) who sign up because of love of country and who are eager to protect it — are off by 90+%.
They don’t want to serve in the woke military. They don’t want to go to classes where whites are told they are evil because of our skin color. They don’t support socialism.

I believe they're trying to recruit those that would actually 'open fire' on fellow Americans. Nothing is sacred to these commies in DC.

You can't treat citizen soldiers as SERFS...mandate an experimental jab and shove CRT down their throat...either their parents have said "He!! no" or the potential soldiers have done their own research and said "He!! no"...Biden, Austin, Milley have broken our military by being Marxist thugs

Recruits that can't read or do simple math and have no idea about the history of the country they're supposed to be fighting for.

The demographic well is drying up. Americans have had enough with contrived crises and interventions that turn into decades-long commitments to people who fail to return the favor defending themselves (NATO being a PRIME example) and eschew the "freedom" we try to install within their society (Middle East and Central Asia).

That, plus great enthusiasm to celebrate LGBTQI+ Pride, to disparage White people for the original sin of being White, and be injected with as many Coronavirus shots as Pfizer cares to sell. USA, USA!

Thus opening the door for foreigners to fill up the ranks of our military. How reassuring.

Low quality people in the military will really destroy it rapidly. This is what the Demonrats want. A pliable band of thugs to be used for whatever POLITICAL objective they have.

The dumber the soldiers, the easier it will be for the Marxist/Democrats to use them as thugs against citizens when the time comes.

Remember McNamara's 100,000 aka McNamara's Morons from the Vietnam War? Well here we go again. I had to deal with one in Vietnam sent as a door gunner. To say he was slow is an understatement. The ones in Vietnam took a disproportionate casualty rate because they were slow mentally when under fire. Expect this generation will have the same issue with school dropouts that are dumber than a box of rocks.
