President Joe Biden has destroyed many businesses with his economic failures and radical policies. Now, he may be contributing to a major decline in recruitment for the United States Armed Forces.
On June 27, NBC News reported all five branches of the military were struggling to meet their recruitment goals for the 2022 fiscal year.
“This is the start of a long drought for military recruiting,” Ret. Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr said.
He said recruitment was as low as he had seen it since 1973, the year the draft ended. While he does not foresee a draft in the immediate future, he said, “2022 is the year we question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force.”
NBC specifically raised concern about the Army, which it said had only reached about 40 percent of its recruiting goal with just three months left in the fiscal year.

In an opinion article for Fox News on Wednesday, Texas Public Policy Foundation Vice President Chuck Devore said the numbers should not come as a surprise.
Devore said the Biden administration “has given voice to the left’s view that the American military is filled with right-wing extremists and White supremacists.” He said the decreasing number of young Americans interested in joining the military is a result of this fact.
As an example, Devore cited comments made by Democratic Tennessee Rep. Steven Cohen before President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
