White Men Don’t Want To Join An Army That Tells Them They Aren’t Wanted

The Federalist

"In detailing potential variables contributing to the Army’s decline in white recruits, such as a fluctuating labor market and higher obesity rates among American youth, Military.com cited remarks from an unnamed Army official who used the media’s infamous “Republicans pounce!” framing to blame the problem on conservatives. Rather than highlight or criticize the military’s embrace of racialist, so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI, ideology, the aforementioned official dismissed the idea that young recruits “care” about the service’s leftward trend, suggesting it’s “the older people in their life … who have a lot of influence” about whether these youth decide to serve." . . .

"So-called “diversity,” however, still remains at the forefront of the Army’s campaign, according to Wormuth, who stated, “You’re going to see lots of different people doing lots of different
roles,” including “men and women” and “people of color.” This is “important because one of the things we found in our market research is that a lot of young people admire the Army, but they don’t think there are people like them in the Army,” she added."

At right: imagine this as Private Mulvaney. Just saying.
