The Department of Defense’s (DoD) newly released report tabulates statistics from 2022 and not this year.
The DoD said in their report, 2022 Demographics Profile of the Military Community, “shows the number of service members dropped 2.7% over the previous year while the percentage of women in the military inched upward,” the Pentagon said in a press release on Monday.
The compiled data includes ‘information from all services, including gender, race, age, education, family members, paygrades and geographic location,’ the DoD noted. According to their report:
According to the annual demographics report, the active-duty and selected reserve population was 58,282 lower than in 2021, for a total of 2,077,630 service members. Over the same period, the percentage of women increased slightly – rising to 17.5% of the active duty force from 17.3% and 21.6% of the selected reserve from 21.4%.
Since 2005, the percentage of active duty military women has increased by 2.9% while the percentage of women in the selected reserve has risen by 4.4%. The annual report contains the latest publicly available information on the makeup of the military community, including service members and their dependents.
Patricia Montes Barron, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Military Community and Family Policy, commented on the findings, saying:
The Demographics Profile of the Military Community and research conducted by the Department ensures we have the quality data we need to understand and respond to the ever-changing needs of our service members and their families.
The updated demographic data and trends help the Department assess and tailor our policies and programs to best support our Service members and their families.
This latest report from the DoD follows an October report that revealed the collective Armed Forces continues to see a steady rise in suicide and suicide attempts, from both active-duty soldiers and families.
Moreover, as highlighted by The WinePress in a number of reports, and as have many other publications have noted globally, the U.S. is facing a severe recruitment problem, as Gen-Z basically has no interest in joining. And even though the U.S. Armed Forces, particularly the Army, have added incentives, increased the weight limits and relaxed physical protocols, and have said they will be screaming a lot less, Gen-Z is just not taking the bait. The U.S. Army has become so desperate they have resorted to using “e-Girls” to entice young men to join, but so far has proven to be more of a joke than providing any real measurable success.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
Jeremiah 48:14
Good question; you can’t when the size of the Armed Forces rescinds, and what you do have is a military that is increasing being filled with soy boys and girls.
Believe me when I say this brings me no joy to say it, but the U.S. is simply weak and inept, and there is no real other way to look at it that way. It’s quite sad really.
In my latest report about this recruiting bust and e-Girl recruitment, I cited former U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, who has experience working at the Pentagon and the National Security Agency (NSA); and she said it best and succinctly:
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.
We need strong men willing to fight, with tenacity, grit, and some machismo: not Barbie, Polly Pocket, and Bratz. That’s only, however, scratching the service though.
[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).

Lately one is hearing plenty about unbelieving Jews going back to Israel but i havent heard anything touching the Jews (the few) that are saved. What would bebthe recommendation for those?
If their saved I don’t think there is a need to, they are members of the Body of Christ.
I’m not quite sure of this, but about 97%. I’ll leave it at that, I’m lacking in the knowledge on that exact topic…
Even if they’re saved, they still need to go back to Israel.
What an army; fat sissys with pink hair and women and what ever they can drum up.
The other armies will double-over with laughter when they see this mob acomming.
Isa_3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Thanks alot wokeness, gender inclusiveness, feminism, LGBTQIA+, and participation trophies, you turned what used to be one of the most powerful armies on earth into the weakest, most pathetic travesty to call itself a service branch.
China: teamwork, perseverance, and a force of nature.
Russia: discipline, determination, and a natural born terminator.
USA: Two mommies, dance videos on TikTok, and smashing stereotypes.
What a go get um video that was; just think of the “Terror” that that recruitment video put into other nations
Not the toughness of the military I saw going up in the 60’s
Lol, sad but true
1 Timothy5:14 I will therefore that the younger woman marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
from the true and only word of God the KJV Bible, nowhere in the bible does it say for the women to go out and fight, that’s not how God made us he made the man to go out to work and to provide for his family and to protect them, he made the women to be an help meet for the man and to marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully not to go to war but to be a mother a wife a helper it boggles my mind when I hear of women not wanting to marry and have kids because to marry and guide the house is our main roll that God so gracefully gave us.
