And they wonder why they're having recruitment problems

They don't wonder; they know why. They just don't care, as it's obviously one of their goals to force as many people from the right side of the political spectrum out of the armed forces. Covid - and the ability to wield it as political weapon - was a godsend to those on the left.

These people aren't stupid. Evil? Yes. Stupid? No. They know that if things ever actually do manage to come to a head here (because of what the leftists in the government are doing) they absolutely cannot afford to have our armed forces all aligned with their opponents.
