Yesterday, The AP reported that the United States Army is offering an enlistment bonus of $50,000 to recruits who sign up for at least six years.

The report details that they are having a hard time recruiting soldiers “amid the pandemic.”

BREAKING: The U.S. Army, for the first time, is offering a maximum enlistment bonus of $50,000 to highly skilled recruits who sign up for six years. The service is struggling to lure soldiers into certain critical jobs amid the continuing pandemic. https://t.co/yyXFn3tMIx

Obviously, in reality, this is a combination of things. I personally wouldn’t have used “because of the pandemic” as the reason they are struggling to find soldiers to enlist because that is masking the truth. Not sure why all these mainstream media outlets can’t just type out “because of the vaccine mandate.”

Here are two that I believe are affecting the turnout the most:

The first is the weakness of our military under President Joe Biden. They put the menu of manufactured, leftist social issues up on a pedestal, such as “white privilege,” et al. that everyone is required to partake in. Maybe the military generals like General Milley should focus on REALITY, i.e., preparing to fight the emboldened Taliban who desires to end America, you know, the terrorists that now have billions of dollars worth of our equipment, thanks to our current administration.

The second and biggest reason is that our tyrant President Joe Biden placed a mandatory vaccine on our soldiers. All soldiers must get the COVID vaccine to remain in service. Obviously, this requirement applies to people who are looking to enlist as well.

Both of these things are affecting the enlistment rate.

Instead of offering $50,000, which we cannot afford in this atrocious economy, why don’t they just rescind the vaccine mandate?
