U.S. Army's Recruitment Problem Just Reached
a Whole New Level

The United States Army is being forced to reduce the size of its force — as a predictable result of failing to meet recruitment and retention goals — by roughly five percent, according to the Pentagon in what the Department of Defense prefers to call more of a reshuffle as a result of what officials say is a "significantly overstructured" service.It seems as though a time in which Iran-backed terrorists are on the march across the Middle East, including attacking U.S. bases and killing American service members — and following Biden's handover of Afghanistan to the Taliban who have returned the country to an oasis for other radical Islamist

Pentagon is now saying they have too many people in the Army to try to make up an excuse for not being able to recruit. Overstructured by Aunt's patoot. The Army is under structured , those men are needed, but the American males of military age cannot see it an advantage to them to be ordered by the current Commander in Chief. And who can blame them? Look at what he has done to the command structure. Why get killed in one of these idiots mistakes.

I personally regret allowing the neocons to ruin my body and waste my youth by stupidly serving in the US Army. Add to that now systemic discrimination against whites, males, Jews, Christians, and conservatives, plus supporting woke perverts, you’d have to be insane to serve in the military.

Has anyone seen or heard from this piece of dog pooh called Austin lately. Still somewhere in intensive care? Or giving new race instructions?? Only a dirt bag like the vegetable in the WH, who probably does not know who he is or what Austin is supposed to do, appoints this dumb jerk and is unable to replace him. He ran out of morons to be appointed to his clown administration.

Actively discouraging straight white males for persons of indeterminate sex and/or background wouldn't have anything to do with being unable to achieve recruitment goals would it??? Squandering several generations of American youth in Asia Minor/Indochina doesn't help either...

They intend to "solve" the recruitment problem by filling our military with battalions of illegal aliens, who will have no allegiance to the constitution and will not hesitate to shoot real American citizens when martial law gets declared to "solve" the problem of MAGA.

During the Obama years they retired out many senior officers who didn't meet the new woke profile they were trying to instill. What was left were the remnants of a diminished officer corps more concerned with saving their own behinds by following the latest Washington philosophy than pursuing new strategic objectives. Those are the generals and admirals of today's services. The men in the ranks saw it too and got out after their first hitch and passed the word around. Potential recruits took notice. More people now go into the service to "get a job" rather than serve their country.

While I was crawling in sand and mud and taking orders from idiots, we were being taken over by communists and kleptocrats in plain sight.

How refreshing. A story like this and we don't have the obligatory 75-year-old curmudgeon complaining about today's youth and calling for a draft. Sorry, but today's youth aren't like the ones drafted into Vietnam. THAT generation grew up in the shadow of WW2, raised on war movies, and had adult men in the family who fought. It is a LOT harder to convince a kid today that being drone-striked in some Syrian outpost is somehow "defending America".

Nikki Haley joined FOX and Friends on Super Tuesday morning to discuss her slim chances of picking up a state today on the biggest primary election day of the season.

Nikki snapped back at Ms. Ainsley. Ainsley Earhardt: So just set the record straight. Is it no to no labels? Is it yes to support the nominee?

Michelle Obama has ruled herself out as a presidential candidate, putting to bed speculation that she would jump in at the last minute to give Democrats an alternative to aging Joe Biden.

It looks like another Soros DA in California will be facing a recall election. As we've been reporting, proponents of an effort to recall Alameda County's District Attorney, Pamela Price, have been gathering signatures for months to place a recall election on the ballot. On Monday those proponents turned in 123,387 signatures - 50,000 more than the 73,195 required. Alameda County Registrar of Voters Tim Dupris now has ten days to run validation checks to ensure that the signatures are from registered Alameda County voters and certify the number of valid signatures submitted. If his office certifies that at least 73,195 valid signatures were submitted,

This explains why Democrats want Trump in jail. They can’t beat him. A new New York Times-Sienna poll found that 97% of Trump’s 2020 voters are ready to vote for him again in 2024. The same poll found that only 83% of Joe Biden voters will vote for Old Joe this year and 10% of Biden voters will vote for President Trump. Democrats are going to have to manufacture a s*** ton of ballots this year. These numbers are devastating. It appears all of those lawfare cases are backfiring.

Far-left CNN anchor Jake Tapper made a massive blunder Monday while interviewing failing GOP Presidential candidate Nikki Haley, somehow confusing two words with completely different meanings. As Mediaite reported, Tapper welcomed Haley to his show The Lead With Jake Tapper to discuss U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous decision ruling that Colorado cannot block Trump from the presidential ballot. As TGP readers know, this ruling overturns a decision by the radical-left Colorado Supreme Court that would have removed Trump from the ballot in the Centennial State. Surprisingly, Haley told Tapper she was “very happy” with the Court’s ruling, claiming she wants to defeat Trump “fair and square.”

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 9-0 decision on Monday that Colorado erred in removing former and potentially future President Donald Trump from the ballot. As the Court ruled, though, "responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States." Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin (MD), Eric Swalwell (CA), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL) have thus wasted no time in their crusade to "revive legislation" to kick Trump off of the ballot and deny the American people their right to vote for or against him.

These liars only care about one thing: cynically hooking as many suckers, gulls, and dummies as possible.

Garland made the remarks at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama, during a commemoration of 'Bloody Sunday' when civil rights protesters were brutally attacked by police. He also accused federal courts of weakening the 1965 Voting Rights Act by allowing various common sense voting restrictions such as presenting identification on arrival.
