Both situations risk spiraling out of control and could end up with the United States being dragged into war.<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press reported that U.S. Army officials said this week that they will be 10,000 recruits short this year, and next year is projected to be even worse.\u00a0The report said that Army Gen. Joseph Martin, vice chief of staff for the Army, indicated that the military branch could be down to 445,000 soldiers by the end of next year, down from what it was hoping would be 476,000 soldiers by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The report said that with the majority of the current fiscal year already gone, the Army has only met 50% of its recruitment goals.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mark T. Esper, Secretary of Defense during the Trump administration, said that this was \u201ca major issue affecting all the armed services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe answer is NOT lower standards; quality must be paramount,\u201d he wrote on Twitter. \u201cRather, we need a sustained effort by America\u2019s leaders to inspire our youth to serve. \u2026 This is a growing national security issue!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin tried to suggest that \u201ccompetition with private companies\u201d was a significant factor with the military\u2019s recruiting struggles and said that if the trend is not reversed, the military would have to reconfigure things to be able to meet the challenges that it faces on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>Top political commentators responded to the report by suggesting that the wokeness that has spread in the armed services under Biden has played a major factor in people not wanting to join.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe it\u2019s better having a country that inspires patriots to defend it, rather than one that makes them want to throw up,\u201d national security expert Dave Reaboi tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Political strategist Arthur Schwartz responded to the report by writing: \u201cMore pronouns, less recruits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. military has increasingly pushed LGBTQ ideas since Biden took office. Days before being sworn into office, Biden tapped transgender four-star Admiral Rachel Levine to be the Department of Health and Human Services assistant secretary for health. Levine became the first transgender federal official confirmed by the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2021, the Army targeted recruits with an LGBTQ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlanRMacLeod\/status\/1392367395906498560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1392445612042424322%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinknews.co.uk%2F2021%2F05%2F12%2Fus-army-recruitment-drive-the-calling-queer-story-woke-video%2F\">animated ad<\/a> that shows a child of two mothers grow up \u201cdefending freedom\u201d by marching in Pride parades before joining the U.S. Army to \u201cshatter stereotypes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just last month, the U.S. Marines and U.S. Air Force joined the \u201cPride Month\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/u-s-military-slammed-over-pride-month-tweets-perfect-self-parody-of-american-interests\">virtue signaling<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usairforce\/status\/1531985672902520834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1532073732126445568%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fu-s-military-slammed-over-pride-month-tweets-perfect-self-parody-of-american-interests\">tweets<\/a> celebrating LGBTQ lifestyles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Military is facing an \u201cunprecedented\u201d recruiting crisis under Democrat President Joe Biden that is forcing it to drastically cut forecasts for the number of new recruits that it expects to bring into the armed services.
