Struggles continue to compound the United States Armed Forces, none more so than the Army, which announced that they will be cutting 24,000 positions because of years such low recruitment. On top of that, the Army has indicated they are running out of funding to supply forces in Europe and Africa, unless Congress passes a new refunding package by May.
In a plan to restructure the Army these positions represent 5% of its overall forces, and are being decommissioned from their vacant roles due to recruitment levels falling short. The Army is now repositioning these servicemen for future conflicts, perhaps creating new strike forces.
Stars and Stripes reported: ‘The cuts will mainly be in already-empty posts — not actual soldiers — including in jobs related to counterinsurgency that swelled during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars but are not needed as much today. About 3,000 of the cuts would come from Army special operations forces.’
These changes will take place between fiscal years 2025 and 2029.
However, the Army did announce that 7,500 positions were being added to its air and missile defense.
Task & Purpose also noted: ‘The Army’s force restructure plan includes bringing down “authorized” troop levels to around 470,000 soldiers by fiscal year 2029. The Army’s current total force is around 445,000 which is less than its allowance of 494,000 soldiers due to the service’s recruiting and retention crisis brought on by the economy, quality of life issues and image-related problems on sexual assault and suicide rates.’
We’re moving away from counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. We want to be postured for large-scale combat operations. So we looked at where were there pieces of force structure that were probably more associated with counterinsurgency, for example, that we don’t need anymore.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told reporters
The WinePress has noted in previous reports that a number of U.S. military branches have struggled to entice new enlistees, the Army facing the worst of it. The Army has continuously lowered its standards to increase their ranks, such as no longer screaming at the recruits, and allowing greater flexibility on weight limits and tattoos. The Army has been so desperate to shovel in fresh soldiers they have resorted to using E-girls to entice young men to enlist.
Meanwhile, the Army is having trouble keeping itself funded. As noted in an exclusive report by CNN last week, the Army has been left to flip the bill in order to support Ukraine’s defense against Russia, leaving officials concerned that they will be forced divert funds from other areas to continue to support Ukraine.
CNN wrote: ‘Without a 2024 budget approved by Congress, and without additional funding specifically for Ukraine, the command has roughly $3 billion to pay for $5 billion of operations costs, a second senior Army official explained. That includes not only the operations related to Ukraine support — training and ferrying weapons and equipment to Poland and Ukraine — but other operations for the US command throughout Europe and Africa.’
A senior Army official explained the veracity of the situation to CNN:
If we don’t get a base budget, if we don’t get Ukraine supplemental [funding package], if the government shuts down, if we get nothing else and nothing changes from today … we will run out of [operations and maintenance] funding in May.
We would cease to exist, [if these funds were not allocated from elsewhere within the Army’s budget].
The Army official said. Those operations include training exercises for Army forces in Europe and Africa and equipment moving into the theater. Contracts also wouldn’t be paid on time and would garner penalty fees, he added.
Wormuth told CNN she expects the Army would “have to sort of rob Peter to pay Paul.”
Every incremental dollar I have, it’s very important where I put that dollar. And I’m constantly choosing between, do we put it on barracks? Do I put it on enlistment incentives? Do I put it on exercises? Do I put it on modernization? I don’t have spare cash to be just sort of donating some of that.
This was money that we anticipated to be replenished, obviously, by the supplemental.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
Jeremiah 48:14
This is just embarrassing. We’ve examined a number of instances of how the U.S. military is deliberately being weakened, and this is another example. To think that the Army is running out of money and needs more of it, just so we can go fund a Neo-Nazi country run by a literal actor playing President, that’s getting smoked right now, and have a lot of this money fall into corrupt official’s hands, is just astounding.
It becomes apparent what the plan was: Trump was used to vastly increase military spending as to resupply a dwindling armament, just so old Joe could come in and have this fresh supply of weaponry be burned up fighting all these endless wars on multiple fronts.
In my report about the Army using E-girls for recruitment, a cited former U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, who laid it out as plain as it could be said:
We have an inability to outproduce the Russian military, we cannot out produce the Chinese military in terms of our weapons production, our technology cannot match theirs, in terms of hypersonics or any other advanced technologies.
I mean, [look at] the story of our F-35 [going missing] in South Carolina not long ago. This is putting a face to the reputation of what modern military technology has done to us. It is not making us stronger, better, faster.
If we can’t logistically go other places, and if we could with these ships, we don’t have the stuff to put on the ships to bring to fight a war, to bring a war to other places like China, like Russia, or anywhere else.
We are not a force to be reconned with, and, it doesn’t matter what you tell the American people, ‘oh rah-rah, we’re great, we can do it’ – in reality, the folks that are our near peer competitors, or anybody in this planet, that have access to the same information that you or I do, and they are drawing these conclusions.
The end of the American empire is near.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

What Karen Kwiatkowski said was so true, and that conclusion “The End Of The American Empire Is Near,” resonates like a GONG!
She is 100% right, the American Empire has only a few months at most left before the axe falls on her…and Jesus Christ is the one holding the axe!
Not just the whole F-35 fiasco and dismissing 24,000 plus soldiers, but also feminism, woke office politics, diversity equality and inclusivity as well as sex perversion and sin also factor in, not to mention, Emma and her sodomite mommies. Female soldiers that have severely weakened the army, expelled and shunned tough male soldiers, and making dance videos on TikTok.
World War III is THIS CLOSE (my fingertip close to my thumb) to being an official reality, and these female soldiers with their TikTok dance parties are going to be mowed down before the first boot lands on the soil!
What??? not enough troops, so we cut 24.000 of them, cause we doesn’t have the money and cease to exist after May.
Who is running this fiasco? oh ya, fruits and nuts and a big dufuss. Maybe the military should buy a money printer, it works for the government.
The military already has a money printer: it’s called the Federal Reserve Bank. Don’t be fooled by the name, it’s as federal as Federal Express. It’s the war machine’s piggy bank, so to speak, to fund the military industrial complex.
Now with these internal problems that have plagued the Department of Defense for so long, feminism, LGBTQIA, diversity, equality, etc., they’re basically disarmed.
They’re already talking about recruiting illegals who will have no concept of our biblical heritage, Declaration of Independence or U.S. Constitution with protection of God-given rights for all: not just the ‘survivors’, the evolutionary powerful, the ‘gods’. Indeed: the dumbing down & demoralization strategy & the ghettoizing/marginalizing of King James biblical Christianity has pretty effectively destroyed such knowledge from our own population.
–
They know, nonetheless, that a U.N. force would see great resistance, so they’ll accomplish the same by calling it ‘American military’, & the ‘recruits’ pouring across our borders will have no moral restraint against firing on American citizens, nor any natural affection or conscientious mercy upon women, children or the weak.
–
The ’empire’ is not ‘American’: it is international, corporatist, has very effective unbiblical and/or Judaizing/Romish Old Testament propaganda dragging people into their karmic evolutionary pagan nightmare or back under the Law: & it’s capital is Rome backed by Hell.
Its’s downright disgusting, embarrassing, disappointing and dumb Pedo Joe doesn’t have his head on straight. He’s just like an AI. He does just what they tell him to do, and we get the brunt of it It’s hard to believe that Dummocrats hate America so much. Wait till they realize what they’ve done and can’t take back. Please come get us, Lord, we’re ready to get out of this hell hole.
