The Recruiting Problem

Writing for The Spectator World, retired US Navy Captain Hung Cao makes some powerful points about why our military is having trouble recruiting.

Young Americans don’t join the Army to fight climate change, that is a job for scientists and engineers. They don’t join to root out domestic extremists, that is a job for law enforcement. And they don’t join to obsess over gender, sexual orientation and skin color, that is a job for weird humanities professors.

The fundamental problem with progressives is that they replace things that work with things that don’t. We are witnessing that in real time. Unfortunately for Americans of all political stripes, our national defense is the one thing that must work.

Analysis: Correct in all respects, especially the part about humanities professors being weird. The despicable people forcing DEI on the military are mostly sure our nation is not worthy of defense.
