Army Officially Misses Its Recruiting Goal By 25%
It is official now that the Army did not meet its recruiting goals for this past fiscal year:
The Army fell about 15,000 soldiers — or 25% — short of its recruitment goal this year, officials confirmed Friday, despite a frantic effort to make up the widely expected gap in a year when all the military services struggled in a tight jobs market to find young people willing and fit to enlist.
While the Army was the only service that didn’t meet its target, all of the others had to dig deep into their pools of delayed entry applicants, which will put them behind as they begin the next recruiting year on Saturday. (……)
“In the Army’s most challenging recruiting year since the start of the all-volunteer force, we will only achieve 75% of our fiscal year 22 recruiting goal,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said in a statement to The Associated Press. “The Army will maintain its readiness and meet all our national security requirements. If recruiting challenges persist, we will draw on the Guard and Reserve to augment active-duty forces, and may need to trim our force structure.”
Officials said the Army brought in about 45,000 soldiers during the fiscal year that ended Friday. The goal was 60,000.

Take a close look and think about it.
That picture is a very uncanny valley image of things that almost resemble humans.
There is some sort of force multiplication going on there. If a coven of misfits like that came creeping out of the night, a lot of enemy soldiers would drip their rifles and run into the darkness screaming like a woman.
The one in the very back on the left scares me the most.
Where did they even find a lab which would make that with a straight face?
They look smart, intelligent, disciplined, fit, and educated like any other US citizen. What are you going on about, ChickenHead?
