Military officers in a leaked Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) memo decried poor on-base living conditions for students at the CAF School of Communications and Electronics (CFSCE) in Kingston, Ont., saying it’s threatening student mental health and retention.
“The corner of a four-person room cannot be made your home,” read a briefing note titled “Canadian Forces School of Communications and Electronics Accommodations,” saying that live-in students at the CFSCE are “inadequately housed.”
As the Canadian Armed Forces grapples with how to boost recruitment amid growing global dangers, a former chief of the defence staff is warning that the situation might be even worse than the top brass are letting on.
Current Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre has warned in recent weeks that, due to recruitment issues, Canada does not have the military “that we need” to tackle future threats — and that readiness within the CAF is “going down.”
Anand’s PR people must have dictated this article. It never mentions the CAF is now “Uber woke” and instead blames everything and anything including of course “right wing extremists” for the shortfall.
Never mentioned but reported elsewhere is that young white males, formerly the armed forces primary source of recruits, have ceased to sign up.
There’s nothing appealing about being sent to Club Ed for mispronouning a bitchy “superior” officer who’s complaining of PMS even though they have a penis said young white males everywhere.
The Army’s future main battle tank will need to control unmanned platforms, network target data with stealth fighter jets, destroy enemy vehicles with precision-guided ammunition, and process massive amounts of data in seconds.
A new sixty-ton, fuel-efficient, hybrid-electric main battle tank—armed with next-generation ammunition and an unmanned turret—has blasted onto the scene as a “demonstrator” offering for the U.S. Army. The AbramsX, recently unveiled by General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) at the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Symposium, arrives just as the Army surges forward with analysis regarding the future of heavy armor.
In case anyone hadn’t noticed, our military is in crisis. For years, we’ve heard stories about how Ottawa’s chronic neglect of the Canadian Armed Forces has left it with outdated hardware — sidearms that belong in a history museum, Cold War-era fighter jets, second-hand subs that even the most unscrupulous of used car salesmen wouldn’t try to hock — but a recruitment deficit exacerbated by the pandemic and a series of sexual assault scandals has exposed an even bigger problem: even if we had state-of-the-art equipment, there’s no one there to use it.
Canada is not the First Post-National state as Trudeau once claimed rather Canada is the First Fifth Columnist State – a low trust society destroyed by multiculturalism and identity politics.
White males, previously the armed forces largest recruitment pool, no longer volunteer at the rate seen in previous years. Small wonder, no one is going to sign up for a woke army that takes its marching orders from a hateful Liberal government that despises them as racists, denigrates their heritage and brazenly discriminates against them.
Good luck with the lesbian trannies Bananada.
Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre says he’s worried about the Canadian Armed Forces’ readiness as it faces pressure both from the conflict in Ukraine and the need to respond to natural disasters at home.
In an interview on Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday, Eyre said the two issues represented “strong demands on both sides” and, given issues with equipment and personnel shortages, he was “concerned about our overall readiness.”
Military sounding alarm over recruiting problems as Canadians steer clear
OTTAWA — The Canadian Armed Forces is sounding the alarm over a severe shortage of recruits to fill thousands of vacant positions, with the shortfall so bad that senior officers are now calling it a crisis.
… Brodie was unable to say whether the push for diversity is hurting more than helping, at least in terms of sheer numbers, by turning off the military’s traditional recruiting pool: young, white men.
“We can’t measure the impact of that right now. It’s too early,” she said. “But to be very, very clear ⦠we want suitable candidates, and suitable candidates are those that first and foremost reflect the values of the Canadian Armed Forces.”
A shortage of white males volunteering to serve? Why could that be?
Maybe the government and schools should stop denigrating their heritage and calling them genocidal racists for starters. After all their forebears have done most of the building, fighting and dying for this country since 1867.
Does anyone recall the reluctance of Quebecers to fight in “English” wars?
Well now Canada has many little Quebec’s.
I believe the government’s reckless mass immigration policy has succeeded in turning Canada into a balkanized hodgepodge of disconnected tribes with greater loyalty to their “homelands” than Canada. Khalistan anyone? China anyone? Tamil Tigers anyone? Palestine anyone? I can’t see much incentive for a white male to risk his life for that.
We are not as Trudeau claimed the world’s first “Post – National State”, we are the world’s first “Fifth Columnist State.”
If they’re looking for recruits that reflect the values of the Canadian Armed Forces I hear a teacher in Oakville may be looking for a new career. Does CAF do custom uniform fittings?
Though largely unreported by mainstream media, the slow-motion collapse of America’s all-volunteer military is a reality of grave importance to national identity and international security. All branches of service are significantly below their essential recruitment goals and have been for several years. The Army is in the most critical shape. This year, it has recruited only 40 percent of the soldiers needed for minimal force replacement, despite ever-lowering standards and ever-increasing enticements for enlistment.
FOUNTAIN, Colo. — The local Army recruiting station was empty. The normally reliable recruiting grounds at the nearby Walmart were a bust. With the Army still thousands of soldiers short of its recruiting goal, the station commander, Sgt. First Class James Pulliam, dressed head to toe in camouflage, scanned a strip-mall parking lot for targets.
He spotted a young woman getting out of a car, and put on his best salesman smile.
“Hey, how’d you know I was going to be here today!” the sergeant said with an affable Carolina drawl, as if greeting an old friend. “I’m going to help put you in the Army!”
Last week marked the 246th birthday of the United States. This year also marks, according to Lieutenant General Thomas Spoehr of the Heritage Foundation, when we “question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force.” As reported in late June by NBC, all branches of the military are falling short of their 2022 recruiting goals.
The Army, for instance, has met only 40 percent of its enlisted recruitment target for the fiscal year, which for the military services ends on September 30. Those in the Pentagon tasked with attracting candidates have listed reasons they are struggling to meet their mission: lack of eligibility, Covid restrictions putting a damper on outreach, competition from a robust civilian employment market, and a lack of a desire to serve.
The same holds true in Canada. Trudeau’s Liberals have turned the armed forces into a sick joke.
The congressionally appointed National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence recently concluded that “we can expect the large-scale proliferation of AI-enabled capabilities.” The recent Libya conflict seems to validate that conclusion about artificial intelligence (AI), with soldiers loyal to Libyan Gen. Khalifa Haftar employing a Turkish-made Kargu-2 drone that “hunted down and remotely engaged” retreating forces, according to a United Nations report. It’s not clear whether the Kargu-2 employed its autonomous capabilities, but the Turkish government acknowledged it can field that capability. Likewise, Russia has employed the KUB-BLA loitering munition and reportedly the Lancet 3 during its invasion of Ukraine. Again, the details are murky—some analysts are skeptical that the KUB-BLA possesses AI-enabled autonomous capabilities, and the claims of Lancet 3 usage come from Rostec, the Russian state-owned defense conglomerate that includes the Lancet 3 manufacturer, not from independently-verified battlefield images. Adding to the confusion: in each case, autonomous operation is clearly an option, although it may not be exercised. That makes verification quite hard.
Leaked video captured the harrowing moment a fighter jet crashed onto the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson before plunging into the South China Sea last month.
The pilot was recovered after ejecting from the F-35C Lightning II, which was seen bobbing in the water without its canopy. Seven sailors were wounded in the Jan. 24 incident.
The year 2021 has seen a fundamental shift in British defence and security policy. Up goes the budget for digital technology, artificial intelligence and cyber. Down goes the money for more traditional hardware and troop numbers.
All of this at a time when Russian forces are massing on Ukraine’s borders, Moscow has been demanding Nato withdraw from some of its member states, and China is making ever louder noises about retaking Taiwan – by force if necessary.
Small, regional conflicts still erupt around the globe. Ethiopia has a civil war, Ukraine’s separatist conflict has killed over 14,000 people since 2014, Syria’s insurgency simmers on and Islamic State group is rampaging through parts of Africa.
Military police and civilian law enforcement have investigated up to 70 cases of alleged hateful conduct and racist attitudes within the Canadian Army since a crackdown began in September last year, CBC News has learned.
A briefing prepared for the army’s acting commander last winter and obtained under access to information legislation shows 115 cases were catalogued up until that time, with 57 of them being investigated by military authorities.
Figures updated to the end of August — and released to CBC News — show an additional 28 allegations. Of those, 13 were deemed serious enough to warrant a police investigation.
The goal seems to be to have the military investigated into a toxic waste dump of PC proprieties, unable to fight but certain of their pro-nouns.
The Pentagon’s wokester generals, such as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, have touted Critical Race Theory as the military’s focus and a great success story.
The guy under him, though, didn’t have such good news.
For the first time, a female sailor has completed the US Navy training programme to become a Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewman (SWCC).
Members of the elite US defence force group support Navy SEALs in high-risk warfare missions, and conduct their own classified military operations.
The sailor who completed the gruelling 37 weeks of training has not been named, in line with Pentagon policy.
The US military began allowing women to serve in combat roles in 2015.
