With the news that the House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which will automatically register men aged 18 to 26 for selective service, and a proposal to also include women that registration.
Registering is mandatory already, but was not automatically done previously, and the timing of this stinks to high heaven.
Below we will also be discussing the main concern of Democrats, who are in control for the Senate, and no real surprise there that the biggest concerns for them in the House version of the bill, which "U.S. government’s military and national security priorities over the next fiscal year," has nothing to do with national security priorities.
The last NDAA that passed the U.S. Senate in July 2023, described the bill in the following manner
This bill authorizes FY2024 appropriations and sets forth policies for Department of Defense (DOD) programs and activities, military construction, the national security programs of the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Maritime Administration, as well as the Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It also authorizes appropriations for the Defense Nuclear Safety Board and the Naval Petroleum Reserves, and sets policy for several other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill authorizes appropriations, but it does not provide budget authority, which is provided by appropriations legislation.
It is important to remember that description as later in this piece we'll discuss what parts of the House version that has Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, whining.
A WAR THE U.S. CANNOT WIN....
By the end of 2023, the U.S. military had missed it recruiting goal by approximately 41,000 military personnel across all branches.
According to the NDAA signed into law last year, the U.S. military recruitment goals were reduced to "1,284,500 personnel, representing the lowest number of service members since before World War II," according to American Military News.
That number represented an 8.4% or 40,000 decrease in soldiers over the past three years for the U.S. Army, a decrease of 10,000 sailors, marking a 3% reduction for the U.S. Navy, a decrease of 13,475 airmen, representing a 4% reduction for the U.S. Air Force and a decrease of 8,900 active-duty members, marking almost a 5% reduction over the past three years, for the U.S. Marine Corps.
With nearly half of 2024 over, the military is seeing a shortfall to recruitmentmilitary is seeing a shortfall to recruitment, despite all the the decreased recruitment goals for 2024.
A look at American colleges, and the increasing number of liberal socialist or communist professors teaching our nation's students, says a lot about why adults under 30 and liberal democrats have smaller numbers in positivity in regards to the U.S. Military.
Another factor showing why the U.S. is woefully unprepared for any direct involvement in a war, especially a boots on the ground war, or one brought to us, right here on U.S. soil, is the lowering of physical and intellectual standards, both in 2022, and again in 2023.
