Toryu88, You make a lot of valid points. The top echelons of the U.S. military should be ashamed of the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. Instead the "wokeness" pushed on the troops is making many of the politically conservative leave. This has lead to a relaxation of the recruiting standards,and even with the relaxed standards the Army can't meet its recruiting goals. Go over any military blog like "Valor Guardians" to see the negative effects diversity, inclusion, and equity training has had on morale and retention.
