Rep. Paul Gosar blamed the drop in white recruits on the army’s supposed “woke Marxist ideologies.”
Incentives for joining the military target lower income communities.
The military is continually sent into one unpopular conflict after another since at least Vietnam (right around the time the report noticed a drop in white enlistment).
Legislators pass and / or preserve policies that create barriers preventing non-whites from accumulatimg wealth.
Hmmm … I wonder if there is a connection.
This can be used against him:
Wait, let me get that right - you’re basically saying you want more white people to be poor…? I’m not sure your “base” is going to like that.
Says the guy who never served in the military. What a pathetic asshole.
Fuming that they aren’t getting enough trained and radicalized militants for the second coup attempt they have planned?
they are afraid the military won’t take their side in a coup/civil war.
Good; I’m tired of being the only side afraid.
Fear is a major part of a conservative’s entire waking life.
That’s how they’re trained.
Check the white supremacists militia. I’m sure he’ll find the far-right white men there.
Y’all mean the Gravy Seals on their mobility scooters?
Meal team six lead the way!
G.I. Joke taking the right flank
They might be a little bit untrained tho (aside from shooting stationary shit down a firing range). However what they lack in skills and condition, they make up for in gear… 😅

Have you seen the proud boys training video? That’s top notch training right there. Lol
I have not, but I will look for it. Thanks for the heads up 😊
Edit: welp, couldn’t find it…
Perfect to send them right into the thick of it. Alternatively, there are so many mines to be found…
It’s seems it’s always the politicians without any military experience that say shit like this. I wonder why
Remember Tuberville’s stunt denying promotions to military members over some supposed woke stuff? Bunch of idiots
Exactly who I had in mind
nigga goes on to call it a crisis of spirit.
Listen dipshit, if you think your spirit is telling you to kill people, maybe you’ve confused it with your stupid shitty ego which everyone agrees needs to get fucked and go die.
It’s a bit sad that people like this exist. It’s so much worse when there are enough of them to elect this kind of idiot.
You know you’re a piece of shit when your siblings all star in a political ad… for the person you’re running against. They all said that they’re brother is a piece of shit and he still somehow won reelection
Lmao and the guy still won. What a world.
At a certain point I can’t even be mad at him but mad at his constituents. They deserve what they get.
I wish our military was Marxist and woke 😄
if the military is a Marxist institution, why do they keep expanding the defense budget?
Because it doesn’t go to the military. It goes to the MIC.
From the Military.com reporting that the Vice article references:
“Another Army official pointed to partisan attacks from conservative lawmakers and media, which has an overwhelmingly white audience. Those groups have used the military as a partisan cudgel against the Biden administration, lambasting the services for being “woke,” or so preoccupied with liberal values that they have abandoned their warfighting priorities. In most cases, those attacks have zeroed in on the services being more inclusive for women, service members from racial minority groups and LGBTQ+ troops.”
I can only imagine how well a recruit would do if they joined with the goal of owning the libs and ending the woke agenda.
Hmm I wonder who would win. An ideolog with poorly thought out ideas working alone whose only weapon is his word or the ability of the US armed forces, largest employer on earth, to not embrace change.
I wish we could take all these shit talking politicians and draft them into active duty. They’d find out real fucking quick who the weak ones truly are, if they even survive long enough for their two brain cells to make that connection.
Maybe Heinlein was on to something. In the book the only way to be President was to have a career in both the main divisions of their military and the only way to hold any office was to hold a position in at least one.
I say this as a person who never served. So this wouldn’t even really benefit me directly. Indirectly I would know that the people who rule us had at least once in their life not only do something for someone else but had a shit time of it
Damn he has aged horribly, like one of those “not even once” ads.
Omg that’s a dramatic change! He looks like a ghoul in the article compared to this pic
Hate eats away not only on the soul but on the flesh.
I honestly believe this to be true. I don’t know how, but you can see it even in photos.
Yea, but 2016, that’s like 30 years ago.
Me: “Oh, that’s a big ageist… oh no, they weren’t kidding. What happened?”
Negative emotions age you prematurely, in a real medical way not a mumbo jumbo pseudo-science way.
There has to be truth to this. Have you seen Stephen Miller?
I would pay good cash money to see Paul Gosar fight a randomly selected minority drawn from the woke Marxist US military.
Preferably one of the combat arms trades.

Far-right commentators quickly pounced on those findings, and claimed they were “proof” that the armed forces had become overrun by “Marxists” who are forcing “wokeness” on its ranks—and, as a result, alienating prospective white recruits.
I may be reading this wrong, but the way that’s worded would mean that anti-wokeness is white supremacy. I mean, I get that, that’s what they’ve been quietly running on, but I hadn’t noticed them swapping over to just flat out admitting something along the lines of “let’s admit we’re here for a race war”.
The best parody of real life is reality. It’s crazy just how I’m your face they are and still not enough people care to oust them.
Okay, congressman. YOU join, then.
Right!? They could have just as easily titled this article “White man who never served in the military complains about white men not serving in the military”
He was Arizona’s Dentist of the Year 2001 though, so he’s basically a war hero
