Trump touts record-breaking military recruitment, but numbers were rising before his reelection

Military recruitment has seen a significant increase, with the U.S. armed forces experiencing the highest enlistments in 30 years.

This uptick in recruitment is attributed to various factors, including recruitment reforms introduced during former President Joe Biden's term and the efforts to attract more recruits.

The Army has hit its best recruitment numbers in 15 years, and the National Guard has exceeded its fiscal year 2025 goals. However, experts suggest that while recruitment numbers are improving, they may not be sufficient to properly staff the military.

build a huge wall. I’m old enough to remember the 60s.

5. Recently, prior to this, recruitment ads were touting allowing various tattoos and hairstyles

which were previously prohibited.

So there goes that ad campaign/angle.

physical standards.

9. GMTA, bigtree

The way he was talking about eliminating this, that, and the other group from the US Military — made me wonder who’s going to be left? Sounds like white MAGA sons are going to have to fill in whether they planned to or not.

We shall see.

Billionaires need their cannon fodder.
