Wokeness wasn’t a factor? Are you kidding? Maybe you should talk to the recruits! 🙈
The opposite of woke is ignorant. We are all born ignorant. Conservatives need to work hard to stay that way.
@@AWOLCPA Mendacity
@simon yeah, it wasnt the only factor, but I guarantee you it was a factor at least in some regard.
@@AWOLCPA Excuse me, the opposite of “woke” is intelligent.
@@AWOLCPA You must be transitioning right now and not thinking clearly.
I am a veteran, wokeness was absolutely a factor.
Same here and I agree 100%
Same here.
Nope we young people joining dont care about wokeness we join because the economy is bad and college is getting more expensive
@ You don't speak for everyone mam.
@ 10 people lpus me all senoirs in our school and none said that
Wouldn't you believe it. People want to go do a job when they know their boss has their back.
Dying in war is a waste of life.
Isreal?
Trump doesn't.. Wait til they are Veterans.. Trump hasn't done anything for vets.. Still pretending that inflation is 2.5%
Damn right. 👍
@@Pleiades1955that’s the mentality of youth these days. The military is for people who love their country and would die for it. The woke crowd can thank a soldier for their freedom…and so can you.
My baby brother is going through the recruitment process as we speak. I’m so proud! 🇺🇸
❤️🤍💙
Same ❤💙
He’s an idiot. Giving his life for what?
@@amerdelic8710we aren’t going into wars so why would he give his life? Lmfao
@@cosmicpepe3973 History tells us the next move for the dictator is to start war to take attention away from his failures. Like hyperinflation form starting a trade war, for example. You know what soldiers do, right? I feel sad for you.
America is Back folks
Of course it is because of Trump. And Hegseth as well.
Nope nope nope dont be dumb all the people i know who will sign into the military after high school is finished is because of the good benefits it offers and free college
“Wokeness” has nothing to do with it and trump also has nothing to do with it
We dont sign our lifes away for some leader whos gonna be gone in 4 years
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
went from 5 people who dropped out to 10 enlistments
Thank God Trump got rid of DEI that wokeness crap.
Wokeness has nothing to do with people joining
People are joining because of the good benefits it offers
Not because of a person they never knew
People sign their life away because its good benefits
I joined. I love my country and I don’t have pronouns and attend church every Sunday.
I'm a retired tier 1soldier. I also don't have any bad habits, and I was a Sunday school teacher in and out of the military. You will have a very,very hard time for religious beliefs peer pressure (which even as a kid I never cared about) will be tremendous. 2 things I learned to let 90% PLUS of everything go in one ear out the other and second the people that are decent true professionals will respect you if you stand FIRMLY your ground the others won't matter just do your mission to the best of your ability and they will have your back and you will have theirs in time.
May God bless you on your new journey in life. And I thank you heart and soul for you doing your service to your country as we are proud to be American again.❤️🇺🇸💯🙏🏼
Awesome job my man hope you are doing very well
Wow. Do you happen to also love the Constitution, democracy and the free world?
@ Absolutely.. Every single word. And it's being followed to the Letter!! Do you happen to like not knowing what the USAID ACTUALLY IS Or not told where your money's going to? It's perfectly legal what Elon is doing. And from what's he's found so far pisses me off as it should you or Any American. democratic party has been using it as their own piggy bank and refusing to let even Congress see what goes on for years. I for one I’m thankful that President Trump has cracked into that piggy bank and is letting the people know exactly who the thieves are! I’ll give you a hint it starts with Democratic
Not forcing medical procedures that caused heart damage is the real reason but they don't even wanna ask that question.
??????? Wokeness has no say in our choice to enlist why would someone enlist for
Because the person who they voted for got elected?
Or because it has good benefits?
Thank goodness
🇺🇸God Bless America and our Brave Troops🇺🇸
I'm a old man. I got no fight left in me
My fight was my vote for Trump.
Ty Sir
God bless and protect all these new recruits and ALL service members 🙏🇺🇸💪👍
Well we have a President that will have their back. Imagine that . . .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
DEI was one of the reasons I was getting out of the military in 2019. When Trump was leaving office, they started ramping it up and people are directly work with who wear black we’re getting promoted when they had only been in the military for a year and a half. It was disgusting to see people being judged based off their sex and their color. I’m Mexican and I could see that it was happening only to blacks and females. Oh well, I retired out and I’m super happy that there are more people who are starting to enlist.
Thanks Pete hegseth and Donald Trump
I knew this would happen 🎉 I told my military husband this would happen. Thank you for your service ❤
Masculinity is back . America is back
Wokeness has nothing to do with people signing
All the people at my school including me , who
We are are signing because of free college and good benefits , get it right
@bluebandites speak for yourself. Wokeness was a problem
Amazing!! 🤩
Trump is taking care of business!! America first. Make America Great Again!!
GO TRUMP !! GO MUSK !!! This is how we make America Great again !!! Thank you all who signed up !! My son is in Training right now. I'm very proud !!
We aint signing up because trump got elected
We sign up for the benefits and free college
It should be obvious that the greatest barrier to recruitment was DEI. I was in the Boy Scouts, but I discouraged my sons from joining because of the Homosexuality that was tolerated. I was a Soldier (1971-1999), and all my sons were soldiers (1999-2019) but we discouraged my grandchildren from joining the Army because Homosexuality was not just tolerated, but encouraged by Army Leadership.
??? Wokeness has nothing to do with us enlisting
We enlist for the benefits and free college not because of dumb wokeness stuff
Why would someone sign their life away just because someone they dont know got elected?
President Trump, a great leader, creates great soldiers!
IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE LEADER 😃
I believe this information is incorrect and misleading. According the DoD reports there was a 12.5% increase in 2024. Not sure why they would take one month and make an astounding conclusion. Possibly a major irresponsible exaggeration.
What do you think can explain it?
@ I’m talking to a few recruiters I know. Get back to you.
@MDpart2 Thank you. Whatever information you can provide to me about the subject would be greatly appreciated!
@ So a couple of major changes. A record amount of sign on bonuses $50,000, sometimes $75,000 for certain positions. Also, a decrease in appearance, physical and education standards.
@@MDpart2 what do you mean appearance and physical standards?
What do you mean, Trump will take credit for this?
They like to have an actual leader.
Nope
Leaders who only here for 4 years has nothing to do with it
10 people and me are signing and everyone is signing for the good benefits and free college
And guess what none of them voted for trump well the ones who could vote
Wokeness has nothing to do with us signing
People are finally proud of their country again and not sucked into the black hole of wokeness.
Guess what, those new recruits are going to be disappointed with Black and Latino Drill Sergeants yelling at them in basic lol
Getting rid of wokeness IS a factor. Don't kid yourself.
Nope nope nope
Why would someone sign their life away just because “wokeness ended” ?
We sign for the benefits and free college and yes i know because i signed recently and 10 people who are signing from my school all signed for the same reasons
@@bluebandites
Those are the wrong reasons. You're supposed to join for the honor or serving your country. The benefits are just that. Benefits. You and you buddies are not the type of people any true American wants to fight beside in a war. Not a problem though because under Hegseth, you probably won't make the grade. And if you do happen to make it in, your fellow _true_ warriors will code red your ass.
Best to get a job at McDonalds and stick to playing your video games.
Trump the greatest President ever Latinos for Trump 💯🇺🇲🇵🇷🇺🇲🇵🇷🙏🙏🙏 GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND THE USA 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Now they can all enjoy their deployment to Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and Gaza
Trump likes to take credit for things?! Lady you need to reevaluate your mouth! It is because of Trump that these men and women wanna serve our country! Don’t get it twisted! This is totally about our new president! People are proud of their country again because of our new president! Damn well should take responsibility for it because it’s because of him! And that was a stupid comment
I’m a Marine veteran and I couldn’t have said it better!
I like newsnation but I am starting to turn it off,,,, starting to sound like NBC,MSNBC, CNN, and other legacy media,,,,when you start trying to spin the story especially the military, this VET will turn you off.
God bless President Trump who love America and makes America great again !! ❤
Warpaint is better than lipstick .
Mark Milley is crying .
You couldn't even get stripes even if you tried
“I don’t know but I’ve been told, Trump’s great moves are kinda bold. . . .”
The majority WON'T PASS THE ENTRANCE EXAM 😂😂😂
If you graduation school it shouldn’t that hard any 5 grade students can take the exam and pass it
Spoken like a person who's never served. We vets can tell who the non prior service folks are. You make yourselves obvious.
Must be a Democrat
Democrats wont
@@JeffSimbert you're the fool
Because it's not woke. I understand completely.
I have friend recruiter this is totally bs he has insisted 4 in 5 months
30 years old Latino and enlisting aswell we are tired of the bull shit and wanna stand up for out future generations.
Then you should be fighting climate change, because there won’t be a planet for your children to inherit unless we solve this problem. No, that doesn’t mean plundering Canada for its fossil fuels.
Think having a combat veteran with "We The People" tattooed on his forearm as Secretary of Defense might play better in a young recruit's mind than having a fat DEI hire in that position?
Imagine that getting rid of the people who wanted to start a war with Russia, and everyone wants to enlist
I joined the US Army in 1999, if i was 18 again i would gladly enlist all over again today under Trump. Wokeness definitely was a factor, but i think the bigger factor is that for the 1st time in a long time, citizens now feel that America puts their interest first, and that is worth fighting for.
If Trump don't take credit ill take credit for what Trump did
Trump has america s back❤❤❤
Thank god common sense is back ❤❤❤
It obviously Trump. ❤
Could also be that men cant find any good jobs that pay well enough in this economy to even live and having Trump in office again helps too.
❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's because the wokeness was demoralising.
This should tell you a lot
Its because they have lowered the standards.
the people trust Trump , first time this has happened he is a leader
No more woke please.
The a white straight man Peter is more inspiring than four years of dei😂😂
How about that
And we know it's not because the economy is going to hell in a hand basket?
😊
News Nation sounds remarkably similar to MSNBC and CNN in regards to liberal slant.
I joined to get away from my home town
They didn’t see Paths Of Glory 👀
I definitely don't agree with Trump on alot of things, but do agree on this "woke" disease. We are slowly healing.
We love our troops ❤️
" Trump like to take credit for things...." your bias is showing sweetie . What happened to NewsNation being " unbiased" 😒
Quite the tell.
Proud boys enlisted their boys
After Trump’s win , then he takes credit for… 😊
Oh good.
Sounds like some bs to advertise. Nobody is stupid enough to sing up when they know how many fronts are opening
My bf just joined the Navy. He left for boot camp yesterday.
most from Mexico
Wrong, they're too busy blocking traffic in LA and Phoenix and waving Mexican flags.....we now have a real Commander in Chief vs a senile buffoon.
That is a path to citizenship...
People are gonna try to credit it to Biden now
"Dei welcome NOT TO APPLIED " TRUMP
Could be...😮
I'm joining too I took my advab in 2024 so I should be good
Funny how donnie had bonespurs and couldnt serve but all this supposed recuits are gonna fight for him😂
Bet Biden will take credit!
My son was about to enlist . I asked to wait until this regime of Oligarky President Musk ends .
😂
Way to convince him on wasting 4 yrs doing nothing
Yea, cause he is better off living in your basement , right...instead of serving his country now that the military has some real leadership.
My Mother did not want me to enlist because of Vietnam. I told her I was not asking her permission, just letting her know my plan. Thats what adult men do. I do not regret a single day.
@He will go to university. Better than be used as hosters at the border ! Mexico will pay for the wall!
@@BillO964 Nixon ? Wayyyyy less corrupt!
I find this REALLY hard to believe, esp. since most prospects aren't even qualifed to enlist due to obesity, criminal records, etc.
😂😅😂 Maybe in your neighborhood
@@Reesie-r5s Uh, it's common knowledge, Einstein, and has been for YEARS. FYI, I"m an Army vet.
@@SenorJuan2023 Look EINSTEIN, you are trying to label ALL in one category. Only Democrats do that. We have service members coming back, because Biden decided to eject them because they refused his FAKE vaccinations. There are different reasons why the enlistment numbers are going up. You can't be so narrow minded.
BS
They will be needed BIG TIME while Trump is in office
Don't make me tap the sign...
🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯✝️✝️✝️
army leaders? how vague can you get when using a source........
American Revolution 2.0.
who are this army leaders whom said wokeness is not factor??
The next Sal Guinta is on his way
I hope that a lot of MAGA supporters stepped up, let’s do a survey ?
Good, bc in order to join they have to be under oath for the Military Government to protect our Nation from an Authoritarian Government!!
Wow that's great 👍
Why would I dice my life away by joining, say Seals team6 with a mixed Jen-nda dynamic, which cannot work in battle situations.
space force all the way.
Slow Biden is gone, Trump time.
Most brown... funny how trump managed to skip the vietnam War
😂
Funny so did Bill and Jo.
Lmao no it’s not it’s all the bonus money they are giving people.
We have a real commander in Chief.
Now we have a real commander in cheif😊
I want to join too!
