Recruitment surges in ‘warrior’ culture

The Army has exceeded its fiscal 2025 recruiting goal with four months to spare, with 61,000 future soldiers signing up and average per-day enlistments up over last year by more than 50%, officials announced Tuesday.
The massive surge in recruiting is a major win for the Trump administration, specifically for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has focused heavily on rolling back woke military policies that he said were hurting recruiting and military readiness and otherwise negatively affecting America’s armed forces.

One of the steps he is taking is the identification and administrative separation of transgender troops from the force.

I bet there is a higher percentage of quality in those recruits, too.

With the number of people getting laid off from the Federal government, not surprising.

I wonder how many of the new enlistees are migrants/illegal aliens or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), who want to serve as a way to gain citizenship and/or because they actually appreciate and want to serve the U.S.? The non-citizens I knew in the Army were good Soldiers.
