The US Army has seen a significant decrease in white recruits over the past few years, with a 6% drop from 2022 to 2023 and a double-digit decline since 2018.

In 2023, white recruits made up 44% of all Army recruits, down from 56.4% in 2018.

This decline has led to the Army failing to meet its recruiting goal. (Trending: Joe Biden Caught In Another Major Lie About J6)

“There’s a level of prestige in parts of conservative America with service that has degraded. Now, you can say you don’t want to join, for whatever reason, or bad-mouth the service without any cultural guilt associated for the first time in those areas,” an Army officer reportedly told Military.com

Conversely, black and Hispanic recruits have increased by 4% and 7% respectively during the same period.

The Army attributes the decline in white recruits to various factors, including partisan scrutiny, an obesity epidemic, underfunded public education, and criticism of the military’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts.

Conservative criticism of the military’s adoption of “woke” policies may have contributed to the decline in white recruits.
