Recruiting and Retention

 The headline says it all.  

Woke military policies drive down recruitment, Army falling far short

General Milley is an unbridled disaster.  For an officer with his qualifications, decorations, and awards, he has proven absolutely unsittable to leading the Army.  He presided over the worst military defeat in the history of the US Army, then brought the troops home and began implementing woke, social justice policies that have crippled an already demoralized Army.  He should have been cashiered as soon as the last plane went "wheels up" out of Kabul. Were he an honorable officer, he would have retired immediately, citing his failure and recognizing his inability to inspire confidence.

Our Secretary of Defames, Lloyd Austin, suffers from the same failures.  He should have been gone long ago, but I suspect that he checks intersectional blocks for the administration.

The officer corps of our military have been subsumed into the political arena. A colonel/captain will never attain flag rank unless he/she bows to the political masters whether elected or appointed. This became evident to me in the aftermath of Viet Nam. Those who are bow and scrape are awarded a position with defense contractor and a nice ghost written book. Too many Kimmels and Shorts and not enough Halseys and Nimitzes.

They both do... And are both political animals rather than actual military leaders.
