Woke policies harm recruitment & retention
“Both my wife and I are retired Army officers who advised our kid not to go into the Army. She is a serving Navy officer and based on her accounts it is as f’d up too. The bureaucrats in the Pentagon have an agenda that is at odds with the national interest.”
“Son started serving under previous administration with every intention on 20+ yr military career. Loves flying but will not reenlist under leadership that is never held accountable for failure & openly unlawful actions against service members. Generations of family service too.”
“Spoke to a cousin of mine who still lives in the midwest where we grew up. Almost everyone we knew had family in the military. I asked him how many guys from his son's HS were enlisting and he said its not like when we were in HS and could only think of one. It ain't happening.”
“My son is currently serving. Enlisted with a different president. I forbade my kids to join the Marines. I was the last generation in my family since WWII to serve in the Marines. I still love the Corps, but I don’t trust our government to value Marines lives.”
“My family has served this country going all the way back to Valley Forge. I will be the last to serve if I have any say-so.”
