Military experts sounded the alarm about the Biden administration’s “woke” policies within the Department of Defense as the U.S. military is poised to be the smallest in 80 years, all while facing emerging global threats.
The number of active duty service members has declined by 64,000 within the last three years, bringing the total number of troops down to 1,284,500, according to the Defense Authorization Bill. This means the U.S. military will field the smallest force since before World War II.
Retired Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille accused the White House of treating U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East like “cannon fodder,” arguing the Biden administration’s leadership has heavily impacted the recruitment crisis.
“Now we’re focused on focusing on individuals when it should be the team effort,” he continued. “I think the esprit de corps lies in combat arms and special operations. I think we need to focus on that first, because a lot of men and women are being asked to sacrifice everything, and if they feel like they’re not fighting for anything, that’s a problem.”
