Army "Baffled" By Decline in White Recruits

Gee. I can't imagine why straight white men don't want to join the army. Army Sees Sharp Decline in White Recruits

The Army's recruiting of white soldiers has dropped significantly in the last half decade, according to internal data reviewed by Military.com, a decline that accounts for much of the service's historic recruitment slump that has become the subject of increasing concern for Army leadership and Capitol Hill.

The shift in demographics for incoming recruits would be irrelevant to war planners, except it coincides with an overall shortfall of about 10,000 recruits for the Army in 2023 as the service missed its target of 65,000 new soldiers.

And they really claim that they don't understand what happened.

But the drop in white recruitment has baffled Army staff and isn't easily explained by any one particular factor, and no parallel demographic trends in the civilian sector are perfect comparisons.

It couldn't be the embrace of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or Critical Race Theory. It couldn't be that the whole of the government has declared war on traditional America. It couldn't be any of those things. Because if it was, that would mean that the leadership of the Army, and the military in general, were a bunch of screw-ups and imbeciles. (Hat tip to Breitbart.)
