What a shock! It isn't just big city police departments that are
having problems finding enough people.
"With Few Able and Fewer Willing, U.S. Military Can’t Find Recruits Fighting headwinds from the pandemic, the tight labor market and
demographic shifts, the armed forces may fall further short of
enlistment quotas this year than they have in decades."
"These are tough times for military recruiting. Almost across the board,
the armed forces are experiencing large shortfalls in enlistments this
year — a deficit of thousands of entry-level troops that is on pace to
be worse than any since just after the Vietnam War. It threatens to
throw a wrench into the military’s machinery, leaving critical jobs unfilled and some platoons with too few people to function.
Covid-19 is part of the problem. Lockdowns during the pandemic have
limited recruiters’ ability to forge bonds face to face with prospects.
And the military’s vaccine mandate has kept some would-be troops away.
The current white-hot labor market, with many more jobs available than
people to fill them, is also a factor, as rising civilian wages and
benefits make military service less enticing."

Snowflakes have no use for the military… even those of confused identity.

But what about Trumpers? They need a strong military to bust up demonstrations they don't like, and for parades, to glorify their
fearless leader? HawHawHaw!
