The Army has met its fiscal 2025 recruiting goal four months early, signing 61,000 contracts for new active duty soldiers, officials announced Tuesday.
“This achievement represents a significant turning point for the Army and indicates a renewed sense of patriotism and purpose among America’s youth,” the Army said in a release. The goal was 10% higher than the 55,000 recruits the Army sought last year. Average contracts per day exceeded last year’s levels by as much as 56% during the same period, according to the release. https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2025/06/03/army-hits-recruiting-goal-of-61000-soldiers-4-months-early/ Gee. Wonder why people are joining the Army again, suddenly? |
More Americans can't wait to fight for Israel apparently. |
Fantastic news! |
More Americans who are assured that Biden won’t send them to fight for Ukraine, more likely. |
This is what happens when you tank an economy. |
Probably can’t find a job elsewhere due to Trump wrecking the economy |
They're salivating at the idea of killing brown folk over in Iran once our president Netanyahu gives the order |
That’s great! Possibly related to the loss of federal jobs, the anticipated loss of even more federal jobs, and the impact of these losses and anticipated tariffs on the types of businesses that typically hire the types of people who enlist? Military benefits and guaranteed paychecks have really increased their value over the last four months or so. Hmmm. What ELSE has changed during that time period? |
“ However, in 2024, the Army exceeded its goal by 11,000 recruits, who were placed in the service’s delayed entry program for this fiscal year.” |
In spite of, not because of, this administration. |
Sure. Suddenly people are joining the Army because they hate Trump. |
There are no jobs. They have no options |
It’s mostly because the army lowered their recruiting standards, which is unfortunate. Hopefully they raise them again soon now that they’re easily hitting their targets. |
I can see why. Nobody wanted to fight for a senile zombie President and his DEI clowns. |
That’s simply not true. Seems Americans are happy that the focus is once again on the warrior ethos and not on DEI. |
