Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Tuesday that preliminary recruitment figures for the military show how interest in serving is quickly rising under President Donald Trump.
Hegseth revealed that the Army had its best recruitment totals in 12 years in December 2024, the first full month after Trump was re-elected.
That was followed by the best recruiting numbers in 15 years as of January 2025, the month in which Trump officially took office.
The conclusion Hegseth drew is that “America’s youth want to serve” under the bold and strong “America First” leadership offered by Trump.
BREAKING: In December 2024, the @USArmy had its best recruiting number in 12 years.
In January 2025, the Army hit its best recruiting number in 15 YEARS.
BOTTOM LINE: America’s youth want to serve under the bold & strong “America First” leadership of @realDonaldTrump.

The Army now expects to add 10 more basic training units in April across Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, according to a report from Military.com. That puts the Army on track to train 9,600 recruits per year.
All of this is quite the shift from the administration of now-former President Joe Biden.
The Pentagon started Biden’s term with a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, a reality that surely did not give young Americans the confidence to put their lives on the line.
Then, for the next few years, conservative and Christian service members hesitant to take the COVID vaccine were booted from the armed forces, all while top brass like Gen. Mark Milley espoused the tenets of critical race theory to the public.
But the new leadership indeed seems to be inspiring confidence.
One of Trump’s first actions in office was to offer full rank and back pay for service members kicked out for refusing the COVID vaccine if they choose to resume their military careers.
Beyond those sorts of moves, Trump himself has projected strength and aggression in a way that Biden never could, even in the latter’s best years of serving as a career politician.
Hegseth, a combat veteran, may have the same effect in the minds of potential recruits.
Unlike his predecessor, now-former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Hegseth speaks frequently and frankly about restoring a warrior ethos to the armed services.
The fact that he is relatively young, is in good physical shape, and is a devoted conservative Christian whose body is covered in tattoos to match his convictions cannot hurt his reputation among the core demographics who traditionally sign up for military service.
Such changes have already started to work into the military’s public image.
One new Army recruitment ad released on Tuesday showed soldiers completing rigorous exercises, firing weapons, and operating heavy machinery, which is quite the pivot from the woke recruitment ads that were fixtures of the Biden years.
Our warrior ethos is clear: to fight and win.

The bottom line is that leadership matters, especially in a context like the armed forces, where a lack of competent and clear-minded leadership can make the difference between life and death.
Young Americans do not want to risk their lives fighting for transgender pronouns or diversity quotas.
They may, however, risk their lives fighting for their country under leaders who are equally devoted to defending that country.


And of curse we believe this lying creep Hegseth.
It is obvious Trump is a Jew tool to recruit dumb white Evangelical Christian boys to die for Israel. Their faith will be challenged when they are tasked to do pure evil for Jews and Israel. Trump is a Judas goat leading fool christians and stupid Amerikans to their deaths.
MAGA is a false slogan, Trump is heading into a full blown catastrophe for sponsoring the antichrist monster Satanyahu. No one knows what Trump will do concerning Gaza, but it won’t be good.
The peace deal was an election ploy, Trump, not installed, will allow Israel to start the war again. The whole thing is planned out, Bibi in Washington is a very bad sign of horrible things to come. If Trump had a decent bone in his body, he would of had Bibi arrested or shot down and killed. For Trump to do the bidding of pure evil means Trump is in bed with evil – not good for us – and a very bad omen for any one signing up for the Jew Pentacon Satanic Army.
US(eless) Army..as shown since ww2
next stop Gaza/Syria & Lebanon to Make Israel Great(er) Again for the Orange Messiah
Poppycock.
The arrival of American troops in Israel…..all THAT means is Americans will die in place of Jews…..PERFECT FOR JEWS.
It’s about time Americans realize they’re being conned.
The Iraq War was all about using American lives to remove Israel’s main enemy.
They’ll d the same in Iran IF THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.
Hegseth is, of course, rabidly criminally insane. And as I have been saying for decades, knowing what we know about geopolitical events over the past 100 years, you’d have to be dangerously stupid or a psychopath to enlist in the military. But Lord knows there are plenty of those around. What should happen for anyone stupid or psychotic enough to show up at a recruiting center is they get ushered straight through, out the back door, lined against a wall in the alley, and shot.
The only place the military has any business being is guarding the borders of their own cuntry, to mow down the hordes of invading orc niggers and mongrels, and marching on the capitols and banking centers to liquidate the agents of treachery and treason.
But no, instead those dumber than dog shit rubes and psychos will get their bad haircuts, drag their dicks through the mud for a few weeks while some stunted weirdo in a puffed up costume screams at them, then happily march off to some foreign country that the Jews don’t like but pose no threat to anyone and shit all over the place, killing countless innocent people and destroying everything in sight. All for satanic Jewry.
Trouble is, new recruits are going to be fighting for Israel. Stupid recruits don’t know US is just a pariah in the world now. Yeah, they can join a bunch of idiots who want world control at the expense of their deaths. F+++ ’em all….
The first thing that I would do is to kick out that blonde-haired pretend woman who is obviously a man.
More American morons eager to fight & die for Jews just like they did in Waste Whitey I & Waste Whitey II.
Got to have a lot of dumb grunts to replace the ones who are going to die fighting for the Zionists and their greater israel project.
The puppet masters hire the best PR men the world has and go on fooling most of the people most of the time.
The Deep State and MAGA are, at bottom, one troupe of actors, some playing good guy and some playing bad guy in the long-running stage serial, “How We Will Take/Are Taking/Took Over the World”.
