Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, who got her start as a Clinton intern, has a lot of thoughts on the military.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said she expects within weeks to begin drafting a proposal for a recruiting overhaul so sweeping that Congress might need to pass legislation to enact all of it.
Depending too much on military families could create a “warrior caste,” Wormuth said. Her plans seek to draw in people who have no real connection to the military and to broaden the appeal of service.
There are sixth and seventh-generation military families. There is a ‘warrior caste’ insofar as you have families who have fought for this country since the War of Independence. They showed up, they bled, and now they’re to be replaced by drag queens and identity politics quotas.
“The Army is strategically deploying recruiters to communities across the country based on demographics, ethnicity, race, and gender,” Wormuth had claimed in a written statement.
Here’s what that ends up looking like.
In pursuit of REDCAT quotas, a message from the United States Army Special Operations Command urges soldiers to “select the ethnic group code that includes the most accurate description of ethnic background or combination of ethnicities in their ethnic background.”
At the Virginia National Guard, past recruitment was aimed at making the Guard “match the demographics of the state within 1% of the REDCAT” and when that failed, developing a “target for underrepresented groups each FY by comparing census data” and then “if the demographics are not within the 1% target develop three (3) COAs to attain the objective by 28 February of each year.”
Rather than getting the best people or even adequately qualified people, the goal is to match the force to the census data in a completely senseless exercise so that the people they do get are 20% black, 7.2% Asian, and 0.6% American Indian, or develop a plan to get those Asians.
Wormuth claims that, “the Army is also on track to meet its directed level of 5,800 officer commissions while increasing diversity representation within the combat arms branches.”
Who needs a warrior caste when you can pick your fighters by race?

Introducing chaos.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Yep. Something that is common when women are in charge.
Sorry. It’s true, despite the fact that excellent outliers exist.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, some women are good administrators but they buck the trend.
I bet you would be a good one. Really, good management only requires brains. Dumb and selfish people are bad at it.
A.Carter says
They shouldn’t put women in charge of fighting. It doesn’t work. I am a woman in the military
Jeff Bargholz says
Well, they can’t recruit Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben, because they’ve been cancelled. Maybe Joy Reid can leave the gorillas in the mist jungle and enlist.
Ivbin Band says
Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben need to be replaced as icons with gorgeous Nordic blondes – (maybe in bikinis). Let them be upset with THAT!
Jeff Bargholz says
They don’t need the bikinis. Naked works for me.
Jay Adams says
We must remove these Satanic infidels from our government. They don’t want a fighting force, they want everything to reflect the evil and delusion they are. They are goingbto get us all killed. China will nuke us and we will never see it coming. No one in the Democrat Deep State Cartel cares about our country at all. They all, including the voters, hate us.
Cat says
And isn’t that just affirmative action? Again.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Yes, it is. If we were selecting on merit, the Army Secretary would be a man who understood the causes, purposes and the strategies of war. He would be a consummate killer and breaker of things whose government would only unleash him when his nation was in need.
Jeff Bargholz says
Like Patton and Stephen Decatur, although Decatur operated in the civilized world just fine. But point him at an enemy? The guy would go off. He was so cool.
Ugly Sid says
Sabotage. Made in China.
RAM says
They think our armed forces haven’t been degraded enough yet.
Daniel Goebel says
Sure, why not? Just when stupid got “stupider”. At some point, when the Chinese invade, all this nonsense will go away and the services will accept octogenarians of all stripes. OR no one will care and red carpet our sino overlords.
Jeff Bargholz says
Invade? Fat chance. There are more guns in America than people, and that doesn’t even count law enforcement agencies, which are armed to the teeth.
And how are the rice dicks supposed to get here? Swim? They only have a handful of troop transports.
Algorithmic Analyst says
They probably don’t even have enough to invade Taiwan. Big expense to build an invasion fleet.
Jeff Bargholz says
They don’t! They can launch missiles at Taiwan’s formidable coastal batteries but they can’t invade. Not enough troop transports and like America’s, the populace would kill them dead. China is cocksure, which is funny because they have the tiniest dicks on the planet.
Davod says
Too late then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barry says
Just bring back the draft.
CowboyUp says
That’s what the left will do. The professional volunteer army didn’t work out like they hoped, way too professional and effective, with way too few casualties. And way too many volunteers. They’ve been wanting to bring back the draft since the late 80s, after they ended it in the 70s.
Andrea says
Unfortunately there aren’t enough healthy people of the right age for a draft so that will never happen. Our military surely doesn’t want to be a rehab hospital for new troops!
internalexile says
Hmm, she certainly looks battle-hardened.
FarmerREDWhiteandBlue says
Ha Ha Ha, that is really funny.
Jeff Bargholz says
A hatchet faced Dirtbagocrat harridan.
Kris says
Gee my name for “her” was Knucklehead!!!!!! If they make me a new knee, I’ll come back!!!!! Keep it up love you ‘all!!!!!!!!
Zuben el Genubi says
Or a dog-face pont soldier.
Zuben el Genubi says
*pony – dang autocorrect…
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, like a battleaxe. What a hatchet faced harridan.
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoops! Double comment error!
Kasandra says
As with most Biden appointees, the guiding philosophy of the maladministration in making appointments is “Why not the worst?”
obsrvntcynic says
We must eliminate recruits ability to cross reference today’s military with that of five years ago. This will block recruits disagreement with mandatory CRT, DIE and sexual ability requirements.
New recruits MUST understand they are declaring fealty to the Democrat party in exchange for free ranging gender and sex activities and lack of merit standards.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Hollywood Pinhead Richard Gere claiming WAR HAS NVER SOLVED ANYTHING except making America a
Independant Nation which this Hollywood Pea Bran never mentions but his mind is clogged up with Dope and Booze
CowboyUp says
“War has never solved anything.”
They never ask a Carthagenian that question.
Jeff Bargholz says
Or Hitler, either.

“In pursuit of REDCAT quotas, a message from the United States Army Special Operations Command urges soldiers to “select the ethnic group code that includes the most accurate description of ethnic background or combination of ethnicities in their ethnic background.”
Special Operations? That’s alarming given how the military has relied on Spec Ops the last twenty plus years. I’m guessing Wormurth isn’t of the “warrior caste”.
TruthLaser says
PinocchiJoe’s purge of the military tops Stalin’s. Stalin purged active generals to unprepare for World War 2. PJ is not only getting rid of normal personnel, but retroactively purging those who served in the past by making their service a disqualification for their descendants. Despite family connections being a negative for the military due to this notion of caste, such connections are fine for service in the Biden Crime Caste.
Col. Mustard says
What geniuses!! Making WAR on our military!!!
Lets see how this plays out…
SkippingDog says
She’s expressing exactly the same concerns over a “standing army” that our Founders did. They also feared an insular and powerful military. Conservatives used to understand history, and the Constitution.
CowboyUp says
Leftists never did, and never will understand an effective military, much less the US military or it’s history. Apparently, you agree with these morons.
Beez says
She needn’t worry about a “standing army” or an “insular and powerful military.” No one is enlisting in the armed services these days. You’d think she’d know that. And the reasons for it: the woke agenda.
rickl says
The Constitution authorizes appropriations for Armies for a period no longer than two years, but provides for maintaining a Navy, and law enforcement on the high seas (a Coast Guard), without limits. Our primary bulwarks against a nation like China is the Navy and the Space Force. If the Army ever needs to become involved in any major way against China, we are already screwed.
Both the Space Force and the Air Force should have been authorized by Amendments to the Constitution, but nobody is following that Constitutional process anymore. Most government agencies, including huge spenders like the Social Security Administration and Health and Human Services, plus hundreds of other agencies, are all unconstitutional. Any challenge of their constitutionality would result in the Supreme Court claiming they are constitutional under the “general welfare clause” in the Preamble, or some similar bogus ruling. The government went rogue against the Constitution in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was formed without an authorizing Constitutional Amendment. All the nonsense we are experiencing today is a direct result of ignoring the Constitutional Amendment process for the past 110 years.

How is worm-mouth going to make up the numbers? – Bring back MacNarmara’s Morons
Taylor says
She wants to destroy all continuity and replace all personnel to ensure they’re all creatures of the ruling clique. Obama hit the officer corp hard, especially in the Marines, but there’s much more to be done to remake America. There’s ample historic precedent worldwide for this, even if the justification is now wrapped in social justice lies.

“Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, who got her start as a Clinton intern, has a lot of thoughts on the military.” The first sentence of the article said all I needed to know!
Ugly Sid says
None of what we enjoy as Americans was free.
It was purchased with blood.
ScienceABC123 says
If they really wanted to get the military demographics to match the civilian demographics, there is no better way than to bring back the draft!
ruralcounsel says
Who hired this moron?
Oh, I get it! This way we fill the military with people who are not qualified or temperamentally fit to fight, and we really goose up our KIA and WIA numbers.
These kind of idiotic policies get people killed and lose wars. But either they don’t care or that’s their goal.
Odissious says
The Left has already formed it’s own “Warrior Caste” of Social Justice Warriors. They have unleashed this war-tribe on all facets of American society. wee see the results daily.
The US Army needs individuals who have been raised to love their country and want to serve. sign them up, now!
Catherine Anne Wiggins says
If she had come from the military class,it would be a different story. But then again, this is the liberal, socialist, Marxist plan
James E. Goolsby says
“A Clinton Intern” That explains a lot. Maybe more to it too. To cure this bloodlessly is to vote out: First anyone with a letter “D” in their party affiliation. Then fire every department head from the JCS on down who got their STAR during a democratic administration. Then send the Marines down to shut the damn border!
