US Army’s Recruiting Crisis Worsens As Test Scores Drop, Disqualifications Rates Surge

And we can provide free child care while they do it

Illegal aliens manage to care for their children and work at the same time

Americans could too

 

[DudleySmith]

The stupid Potatohead administration said they didn't want Patriotic White boys in the military, only queers, transsexuals, affirmative action Negroes and unqualified women.

So that is all they are getting.

All demographics with more than their share of neurotic halfwits and sociopaths.

Perhaps...We may not survive those wars. You love the Ukraine War.

We aren't fighting in Ukraine... the Ukrainians are. More power to them.

Better yet end welfare payments to able bodied citizens and they will do those jobs when they get hungry enough

Uh, guy, most people on welfare have jobs now... 40% of people on food stamps have jobs, just jobs that don't pay that well (but slightly better than what illegals are getting.) Most of the rest are retired people or children.

They dont deserve welfare

They are like heron addicts on methadone who never manage to kick the habit

US Army's Recruiting Crisis Worsens As Test Scores Drop, Disqualifications Rates Surge
The US Army has a major recruiting problem and can't find enough young people who meet the basic requirements to enlist, according to Army Times.
Lt. Gen. Maria Gervais, second in command for Army Training and Doctrine Command, sounded off Thursday about the troubling developments. She highlighted disqualification rates for potential recruits jumped from 30-40% (pre-Covid) to a whopping 70% this year due to obesity, low test scores, and/or drug use.
Gervais pointed out the service has experienced a "nosedive" in recruits since July 2021. She explained Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) scores were 10% lower during the virus pandemic in 2020-21. That figure has since increased to 13% for the most recent high school graduating class.
~Snip~
Besides failing to meet academic standards, obesity was another driver of higher disqualification rates. Also, increasing drug use among youngsters didn't help.
The challenges of today's youth put combat preparedness in question as liberal war hawks are determined to spark World War III in Ukraine and or in the Taiwan Strait.
At least the youth have one thing going for them: obsession with violent video games has desensitized an entire generation to all sorts of violence where war might not be a big shock.
Remember, the service's recruitment crisis has been an ongoing issue but has worsened in the last few years. We pointed out it's "another signal of declining support for the federal government and its institutions."
Maybe because the military has gotten too 'woke'? You know the saying: "go woke, go broke" -- this can also happen to empires...
The shrinking pool of eligible youth due to obesity, low test scores, or drug use should be a national security threat to US health and security.

Why should the Army worry about recruitment?
Or, is woke Emma with the two moms not nearly as powerful as we were led to believe?
Meanwhile for nearly two years the Delaware Demented Dolt got rid of thousands of highly experienced soldiers who were unvaxed.
The ASVAB is indexed to a 10th grade education level of knowledge. To get in the army a score of the 35th percentile or higher was required.
The two branches that demanded higher scores (>55) are the Air Force and the Marines.
No conservative in his right mind would join a Dementia led military. That would be stupid.
It’s not a military anymore, thanks to Biden. Milley and Austin. It’s now a liberal political entity that normal people reject and now patriotic families are dissuading their kids from joining, and military families are starting new legacies. Nice work Brandon.

The Left has nothing but boytoy soldiers to defend itself against a revolution or civil war. Any decent and traditional troops will turn their weapons against the WOKE troops.

Actually, most of the working poor are exactly that. Working and poor.

But hey, here's the solution- replace the minimum wage with a living wage.

Really? Because the last time we had something like that, was Vietnam, where enlisted men were fragging their officers and soldiers came back and joined VVAW.

But hey, here's the solution- replace the minimum wage with a living wage.

Great idea. McDonalds can pay you $65,000 / year for “drive up to the second window” and the customer can pay $30.00 for a burger and fries.

Yeah. That will work.

 

[Mushroom]

Why don’t we offer them citizenship in return for enlistment?

Wow, are you not aware that has actually been a thing for decades?

Join the military, and the process to become a citizen is greatly streamlined. It has been that way since at least the 1980s.

 

[Mac-7]

Actually, most of the working poor are exactly that. Working and poor.

But hey, here's the solution- replace the minimum wage with a living wage.

I think working two jobs is a better solution

They put themselves into that situation

 

[Mushroom]

But hey, here's the solution- replace the minimum wage with a living wage.

Why should we pay a "living wage" to high school kids? Or to people with minimal skills?

Want a "living wage"? Then get yourself skills that warrant that kind of pay.

 

[initforme]

65 grand isn't a good wage anywhere

 

[Mushroom]

65 grand isn't a good wage anywhere

Sure it is. Just not in a place like San Francisco or any other large city.

 

[DudleySmith]

Why pay people anything? Being employed is a privilege, not a right, so those uppity proles should feel lucky to be allowed to make some capitalists rich, shouldn't they? When their health goes from lack of food they should do the right thing and commit suicide so as not to be a burden on the wealthy. After all, there is no shortage of worthless humans to take their place right?

 

[DudleySmith]

Great idea. McDonalds can pay you $65,000 / year for “drive up to the second window” and the customer can pay $30.00 for a burger and fries.

Yeah. That will work.

lol we will get there if they don't raise wages one cent, same as we got to $10-$15 burgers and fries while freezing minimum wage for decades.

 

[DudleySmith]

EVen the Red Chinese are automating their plants, so even 25 cents an hour is too much to pay workers, according to the sociopaths who run economies. The 'elites' find you proles undependable, even you suck asses can't be trusted, so they want more drone developments and robots to make you unnecessary.

" I can hire half workers in this country to kill the other half."- Jay Gould

Your elites have far more efficient ways these days, far less expensive ones.

 

[JoeB131]

Great idea. McDonalds can pay you $65,000 / year for “drive up to the second window” and the customer can pay $30.00 for a burger and fries.

Yeah. That will work.

Actually, giving them a living wage of $15.00 an hour would give them a salary of $31,200.

And it wouldn't raise the price of a cheeseburger that much.

This Is How Much A Big Mac Would Cost If The Minimum Wage Was $15

archive.thinkprogress.org

If the minimum wage were increased to $15 an hour, prices at fast food restaurants would rise by an estimated 4.3 percent, according to a new study. That would mean a McDonald’s Big Mac, which currently goes for $3.99, would cost about 17 cents more, or $4.16.

But here's the thing... We are already paying for that Big Mac. When those minimum wage workers get SNAP, Section 8, and Medicaid because they can't afford food, rent or health insurance, THE REST OF US ARE PAYING FOR THAT!

Last Condo I complex I lived in, we had about 30 families on Section 8. One lady would come home from her job at Portillo's, and I know she couldn't afford the rent there (about $1200 a month) on a Portillo's salary.

Why should we pay a "living wage" to high school kids? Or to people with minimal skills?

Want a "living wage"? Then get yourself skills that warrant that kind of pay.

This is where you are confused, Kids don't do those kinds of jobs anymore. Not after Covid anyway... when "Dying from a horrible disease Trump didn't contain" became a bigger deal to their parents than "Earning a little money to learn responsibility".

so those jobs go to the working poor... if they can find the working poor. I know a lot restaurants are chronically understaffed right now.

How can they get troops to fight in wars to make rich people richer, and the US less safe? Hmm....

 

[JoeB131]

Why do you think young people aren't enlisting these days.

1) Because they might have to shower with a gay person, even though they showered with gay people all through high school and it just wasn't that big of a deal.

or

2) Because the government has been fighting a war against a shadowy enemy since before they were born, with no end in sight, where they might be killed, maimed, have permanent psychological damage, be rotated into that war zone several times, because the people making the decisions will never have THEIR kids at risk.

Of course, there are other reasons why enlistments are down. Because so many kids are forced to take Ritalin and other mood adjusters because their parents and teachers can't deal with them, that pretty much disqualifies them from military service. Because so many kids sit their fat asses in front of video games, they can't pass the physical.

But the reality- as much as I loved my time in the service, I wouldn't recommend it to most people these days.

That's often the ultra-leftist solution: "just give them stuff". Leftists fail to understand that their utopian / socialist notions have consequences. A higher minimum wage means employers have to raise prices to cover costs. It really is a shame that leftist "Gender Studies" grads aren't required to take some basic math and economic courses.
