Robert Bridge – Strategic Culture Sept 8, 2022
How the U.S. military will find the man power to fill its ranks is a herculean problem that promises to haunt army brass for many years.
Recruitment numbers for the Army are at all-time lows as Americans are either too fat or criminal to defend the nation, an Army general warned. Does this spell impending disaster for the nuclear superpower?
Rome collapsed due to overexpansion of its borders; America, on the other hand, just might collapse due to the overexpansion of its waistline.
Lt. Gen Xavier Brunson, the commander of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, explained why recruitment is so low following an Army news release that it wouldn’t meet its 485,000 recruitment goal for 2022, falling short by a whopping 20,000 recruits.
‘Some of the challenges we have are obesity, we have pre-existing medical conditions, we have behavioral health problems, we have criminality, people with felonies, and we have drug use,’ Brunson told Spokesman Review.
Here are some sobering statistics with regards to obesity rates in the United States.
All states and territories had more than 20% of adults with obesity. 20% to less than 25% of adults had obesity in 3 states (Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts) and the District of Columbia; 25% to less than 30% of adults had obesity in 11 states.
30% to less than 35% of adults had obesity in 20 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico; 35% or more adults had obesity in 16 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia).
The Midwest (34.1%) and South (34.1%) had the highest prevalence of obesity, followed by the West (29.3%), and the Northeast (28.0%).
The situation on the crime front is no less promising. Data from the World Prison Brief estimates the U.S. incarceration rate at 639 inmates per 100,000 people as of 2018, or 13% higher than the rate of the next-closest country, El Salvador (564 inmates per 100,000 people).
Aside from the Army, the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Crops are also receiving less recruits.
Experts point to the surge in obesity and drug abuse as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the lockdowns that kept people stuck in their homes for weeks on end.
‘This is not an Army problem, this is an American problem,’ the general stressed.
Meanwhile, American youth are no longer looking to a military career as a means of a livelihood.
About 73 percent of the younger generation aged 18 to 25 – the so-called ‘Generation Z’ – said they know about the Army, but a recent national survey conducted by the U.S. Army indicated otherwise.
The survey found that youth knew little about Army benefits, including home-buying, early retirement and educational benefits. Now, to increase recruitment numbers, the Army plans to ‘lower the gates’ and find new ways to attract youth, especially amid the lowest recruitment deficit since after the Vietnam War. But the job won’t be easy.
Most disturbing for Army recruiters is that just 23% of the people that are of age to serve are actually qualified,’ Brunson said.
The announcement of fewer recruits comes after thousands of unvaccinated Army National Guard and Army reserve soldiers were barred from military duty after refusing to get the COVID-19 jab.
As of July, there were about 40,000 National Guard soldiers and 22,000 Reserve soldiers how have not been vaccinated.
More than 10,000 soldiers requested either a medical or religious exemption with only 61 being permanently approved and 17,046 temporary approved as of August, according to the U.S. Army. About 16,000 soldiers continue to refuse the jab.
Monetary efforts to increase recruits are also being deployed with enlistment bonuses offered up to $50,000, and bonuses up to $35,000 for soldiers who ship out within 45 days, according to General James McConville, U.S. Army Chief of Staff.
How the U.S. military will find the man power to fill its ranks, not to mention operate the increasingly complex military technology, is a herculean problem that promises to haunt army brass for many years, while presenting the most dangerous security risk to the U.S. in many years.
Best news we’re had in years.
Morale among the young is low for the same reason it’s low among everyone else. Put hectoring punks and druggies all over the entertainment world for decades and then be SHOCKED that the rest of society is following.
But the US — like other nations — is allowing foreigners to fill the ranks so who are they kidding?
Besides, not one war in two centuries had anything to do with protecting the actual country. Young and smart people know this.
> Rome collapsed due to overexpansion of its borders
No it didn’t. It fell apart because two “leaders” both wanted to be king and tore it in two. Just like your country will be torn in two by the muslim and indian/mexican invaders both wanting to be king.
> we have behavioral health problems
I wonder if he means queers?
> we have criminality, people with felonies
Someone is only a “criminal” because the scum in charge made something against the law. Most “criminals” did nothing wrong. Stealing food if you’re starving or breaking into a house to get out of the cold or killing a murderer or stealing from rich people if you’re poor or downloading movies, none of these should be “crimes” but are, all made up by the scum in charge to ensure they stay in charge.
> Meanwhile, American youth are no longer looking to a military career as a means of a livelihood
Perhaps they don’t want to go to other countries and murder people? That’s a positive change. I used to live in a barrack town and so met lots of soldiers. Every one was a psycho. I knew normal people that I went to school with who joined the army and it turned them into psychos too. They think anyone who doesn’t do what they’re supposed to do (whatever that means) should be killed, they’re completely unable to speak without inserting swear words into every sentence, they think all the “enemies” of the country should be enslaved or annihilated and all that country’s resources should belong to them, and they think that any woman they fancy should be forced to sleep with them. Rapes happened all the time in that town, as did fights that left the non army person with a broken face or a broken arm. The soldiers never once got punished. I think the young people today use the internet to find out the truth about the army instead of believing all the BS they put out, and so realise that only a moron would “join up”. “See the world, shoot people, bomb complete strangers, rape other countries for profit, be a hero.”
Well, when you have a country that has to lie to get its people to go to war, you can understand why people are not signing up to got to the military. Despite the jingoistic Top Gun: Maverick selling out in the box office, people just don’t fell comfortable dying for some rich man’s war. Pat Tillerman gave up his career to sign up for the war after 9-11, and he became disillusioned. He just so happened to have died from “friendly fire”, but it covered up until the truth came out. Now, was this under Democrat rule? No, it was under George W. Bush, a Republican. We spent decades in the Middle East wasting blood and treasure, and what thanks did we get? A shoe being thrown at us?
And then we had Mr. Bone Spurs himself Donald Trump who got out of going to Vietnam over bone spurs that he can’t even remember in which leg he got it in. He has reportedly talked about men who has been in the military as being losers, yet people on the right still loves him. The US own power structure has screwed over the military. Many veterans from the Middle Eastern wars still remember Rumsfeld saying, “You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.” meaning you “sucker who signed up for war, you are going to have buy you own equipment, because we’re not going to”. Don’t you want to sign up?
Finally, every year except this year, this website would discuss 9-11. What happened? May it because 9-11 happened on the Republican watch.
If I cross the road and kick a door down and hurt the occupants and steal what’s worth having, that is not defending my home.
Of course ” wokeness” and overall denigration of whites has nothing to do with the decline in recruiting! I’m an American military veteran, but I do my best to talk younger people out of joining the military. What’s the point of serving, getting injured, and then being treated like crap by the Veterans Administration? Just yesterday, I had to deal with a black, nasty, confrontational black ” nurse”, because the VA screwed up a medication request. But anyone with at least half a brain realizes that 85 percent of American blacks are emotionally disturbed anyway.
You will notice upon closer inspection that drill sergeants wear a hat similar to Hasidic/Lubavitcher black hats. After all if you are going to yell and scream at goyim cannon fodder, you might as well look the part.

Just to show you who is boss, a drill sergeants graduation class looks like a rabbi convention.

The U.S. Air Force pentagrams with three stripes on each side represents Lucifer’s fallen angels getting their wings back and bombs falling from the planes represents his life force. Signs and symbols rule the world, if you have any doubts, remember all those images of Merkel, Trump using their hands to make the wings of Lucifer sign? They are paying homage to the boss, they don’t want to get cancered or heart-attcked. For any nation that gets out of line, they will be bombed into submission. Some predict ‘the system’ will fail but it appears to be robust and impenetrable, they thought of everything. Before disobeying Washingstein, they might take a moment to look at the new USAF symbol.

Too FAT… maybe.
Too DUMB…. definitely! 🤣
As the nonwhite population increases white ‘civilization’ will concomitantly deteriorate. The value & quality of a society is determined by its racial composition. All Caucasian created societies that are/become multiracial inevitably shatter & implode into mongrel mayhem & criminal ape anarchy as the the nonwhite population exponentially multiplies. Like ancient Egypt or Rome, now its the turn of the USA to metamorphose & collapse into civil decay, dysfunctional governance & simian subhuman chaos thanks to egalitarian idiocy & the erroneous ethics of Rabbi Jesus. Or just watch the movie ‘Conquest of the Planet of the Apes’ (1972) to see what’s next..
Even if fully qualified to join the US military, how do you think the lesbos, queers, trannies and perverts
of the US military will fare against the Wagner forces, or the Chechens, or the Spetnatz, or the average Russian military defending Mother Russia?? The NATO Satanists will be slaughtered.
John smiff succinctly summarizes the Jewnited States military well in just one sentence. And good ol’ Nico nails it as well.
Anyone dangerously stupid or psychotic enough to join the military these days is an absolute menace and should be ushered straight through the recruiting office, out the back door into the alley, lined against a wall, and shot. Now THAT would actually be an affirmative step toward defending the country. Really, that process should have applied since at least 9/12/2001 as anyone enlisting from that point on was either clearly a slack-jawed moron with the critical thinking skills of a turnip or a deranged psychopath. Or both.
Ahhhh! But after years of soy and soy-based products, estrogen-loaded this and that – including IPA beers….
Can you take the beta out of the male?
Doubtful.
That’s why it was put there in the first place.
You realise they’re filling up the empty places with foreigners right? And who do you think the foreigners will have no objection to shooting?
Firstly, there is no US or any other nation for that matter.
Secondly, wars are outdated – way more damage on the things in life that count has been done – and more genocide will be done in a stealth manner – the “trial” was successful – easy as grabbing a lamb and giving him a tetanus shot.
PS – I never “supported the troops” – I find them imbecilic with no initiative and that’s why they’re there.
465 000 instead of 485 000, not a big drop, and too many in the first place, never defending the country in any way. Drop the military to zero and you will have better defence by vigilantes
Sure, you asses running our nations go ahead and legalize all feel-good drugs. You may as well because you turn a blind eye to them anyway and go ahead and legalize the biggest gate-way drug to coke, meth, and H, which is marijuana – a drug which is working its way further and further down the age groups to young kids in grade school. It is hard enough keeping kids away from alcohol so why would they want to legalize pot? Because of the tax money it can generate and because it makes people passive. You get it – passive, sensualized, sexualized, hallucinating, soldiers that need meth to fight in any battle and then come back as addicts.
I wonder just how much longer it will be until U.S. citizens figure out what is going on and declare open war on illegal invaders coming over the border. Things won’t improve until they take back the country with their own hands.
“Rome collapsed due to overexpansion of its border”
LoL
No it didn’t it collapsed due to 3 factors all of which were due to the behaviour of the elite families and the machinations of powerful and Mercantile “Jews”,
1) Division (Internal) and in fighting between factions, generals and elite families causing chronic political instability and fatally weakening all of its institutions.
2) Debasement of its currency to the point it could no longer afford to feed its citizenry, ie financial mismanagement, instability and inflation.
3) Miscengenation and the opening of it borders/citizenship to hordes of outsiders.
Nico, BArmy, Bob Smith, Suze and many others are right. Funny how ordinary members of the public now know more accurate history and facts than all the Historians and Experts appointed by the Jews and their ZOG controlled nowadays or their self-appointed truth movement counterparts, the equally ghastly Talking Heads as I call them, total Scumbags like KIke, Jones, Sverdlov, Russell Brand. All Jews, married thereto or Masons…
BTW Britain and its Emperors, ie Britons fought to maintain Europe and its culture and civilisation from the attacks of World Jewry.
This is the work of The Holy Blood.
IE NOT imposters like Lizard, Wing Nut or Ponce Walliam and the Jewess. I mean the True Kings of Britain.
unity + solidarity you have only
blood related tribes ! there were many
tribes in germany . german tribes . they
dont wanted kings . they were all free
men . like the tasmans,marquesans etc.
but there came outsiders with help of
pope + bishops . they became kings+
aristocrates (all robbers) . they discriminated
the diferent german tribes, called them
DEUTSCHE = people and used their
diferences, brainpissed them with their
kings view of the world, divided them +
milked them . gave them the motivation
to be Deutsche . today they think they
are Deutsche in Deutschland + even
count foreigners as Deutsche . they are
so brainpissed to forget that they are
germans (without foreign intervention)
in GERMANY ! same in England .
would a scot or wales man accept to be
called People or english ? no, i think
they want be called a scot + a welsh .
same with the irish, they are no english
and dont want to be called a people .
