  • GOP Rep. Paul Gosar complained that there are too few white people enlisting in the US Army.
  • He blamed "woke marxists" according to an email, seen by Vice News.
  • The number of white Army recruits is indeed decreasing, but the reasons are complex.
Republican Rep. Paul Gosar complained that there are too few white people enlisting in the US Army in a funding email seen by Vice News.

"The number of white recruits has plummeted," Gosar wrote in the email, which had the subject line, "dismantling woke marxist ideologies."

He complained that the declining rates were "a casualty of this cultural skirmish that has left our Army beleaguered and besieged by 'woke' ideologies."

"This is not merely a crisis of numbers," Gosar said in the email, per Vice. "It is a crisis of spirit."

Marxist doctrines had "sapped our Army's vitality, leading to dwindling ranks and dispirited hearts," Gosar wrote.

Gosar, Rep. for Arizona's 9th congressional district. is known for his far-right views and has been accused of having links to White nationalists and Capitol rioters.

The idea that the military has become too "woke" and concerned with liberal values has become a pervasive one among the far-right, due to changes such as the adoption of LGBTQ+ inclusive policies.

Far-right memes have circulated depicting US soldiers with rainbow flags or referencing pronouns, implying they are weaker than their global counterparts, Vice noted.

Gosar was apparently responding to a recent report by Military.com which said that there had been a sharp decline in white recruits.

He may be up for one of Trump's cabinet posts.
 
The whole point is to prepare the country for an authoritarian dictatorship. As part of that preparation, every last pillar and institution in the country must be destroyed. They must destroy the courts, the universities, the scientists, the scholars, law enforcement, and even the military. No stone will be unturned. Eventually, the people will accept a strongman dictator whose word will be law. Learn history!

Jawohl, mein Fuehrer!
 
The military is a career. That black Americans are disproportionately represented in recruitment has nothing to do with "woke marxism" in fact the opposite. It reflects that healthy and competent black Americans are discriminated against in the private sector.

If Gosar wants more white recruits, maybe he should propose affirmative action /s
 
Too busy storming the Capitol to steal stuff and pose for selfies. Now imagine THAT lot fighting in that army.
 
Many intellectually honest Americans (regardless of political affiliation) quietly agree that the ethnic composition of the armed forces (including those in the upper echelons of the military) is something to be concerned about, and that our enemies are observing this change with due interest.

The good news is that Trans People are now well accepted in the military and I am sure their numbers will increase drastically as the establishment convinces them and all who support them to enlist in the military. All the military really needs is to tell the leftists that enlisting in the military will help protect the country from Trump and there will be 10 mile long lines at all recruiting centers. The bad news is these leftists will say that the uniform is transphobic and should be changed to a gown based uniform for all, you know, for inclusivity. The good news is that in case of war, any enemy seeing a military in a gown and high heels approaching will die laughing. War over.
