Wapo has turned upside down Pete Hegseth takes credit for achieving his goal of military recruitment – Redstate

Getting the mandate established for the Washington Press Corps this year – that any comment from the Trump administration must be countered, whatever its precision – the Washington Post has made an in -depth investigation into the defense secretary Pete Hegseth. What disturbed the document of the national capital so much is that Hegseth dared to be proud of the results observed in the military ranks that he wanted to achieve.

This focuses on recruitment figures in the army, highlighting impressive and encouraging statistics within the armed forces.

While the army celebrates its 250th anniversary with a carefully planned parade in the streets of Washington, DC, the service also praising an epic recruitment turnaround, achieving its annual target of 61,000 new recruits four months earlier after having failed only 10,000 soldiers.

Good news, of course. So what’s Wapo becomes grumpy? Well, it seems that Hegseth and President Trump have dared to suggest that this result is directly correlated with their efforts since the change of administration this year.

President Donald Trump and the defense secretary Pete Hegseth quickly took credit for the overvoltage of recruitment. Hegseth, who defended a “warrior ethics” and waged war against diversity initiatives … This month described a “morale change” from the inauguration of Trump.

These scoundrels. How dare they try to take credit for one of the very things that have been stated as an objective when Hegseth was initially exploited by the elected president to manage the DOD?! It was, after all, one of the very pronounced objectives that Hegseth announced that he wanted to tackle during his confirmation process.

I will work with President Trump, and this committee to: one – Restore warrior ethics at the Pentagon and throughout our combat strength. In doing so, we will restore confidence in our soldiers, approaching the recruitment crisis, the detention crisis and the preparation crisis in our ranks.

Now, for him to come out and expresses the pride of already touching recruitment objectives, and ahead of projections, is simply unacceptable. The post sent Alex Horton and Hope Hodge Seck to go out and speak to anyone could generate more smoke around this result than during an extraction effort in hostile Heli-Vac.

To create this article (which can be summed up by “it’s complicated”), Seck and Horton have spoken or cited a dozen individuals who have all thrown various impressions around the figures that arrive today.

Let us stop for a moment and consider the effort they have undertaken for this pedestrian scenario, in the light of the current accounts on the information industry refusing to report on the state of Joe Biden. It seems almost that more journalism undertakes to prove that Trump-Hegseth hurts that never went to investigate President Silvearelert and his mental decline.

All kinds of shade are highlighted, such as sustainable awareness motivations and possibly the delayed entry of recruits leading to this result. We are even told that this increase could be due to changes three years ago in strategies and a reduction in documents. Even so, as it stands, around a third of potential registrants express conservative impressions and the leadership of the current administration as motivators to register.

Said a recruiter about this reality, “These people are much more likely, according to my experience, to be people who come to us to join a combat work rather than office jobs. I think that people who are interested in career areas more focused on combat are more concerned about who makes decisions [and] The global strategic vision of what we are looking for.“”

Despite this reality, there is also an attempt to recalibrate the drop in figures during the term Biden, so that the current increase appears more a return to standards. One of the experts consulted the states that the pandemic, associated with the end of the Afghan conflict, depressed interest in those who consider the army as a career choice. Of course, he did not treat Biden’s assault here on the soldiers, which led to a significant drop in retention numbers.

This must expect our press these days. This article echoes that seen from the newspaper A week ago concerning the fentanyl data that crosses the border. With border crossings today near low records, and much more than 90% below what has been recorded just in recent years, it would be supported that drug trafficking has also plunged. However, the message has been mystified as to what could possibly lead to this “mysterious” drop in fentanyl crises in recent months.

It is the pathetically fun position of our press these days. Give them the little obvious, and their first approach to any story is: What is Trump’s position on the issue? The opposition is then made by default, and the facts will be found in one way or another, or to jump, then turn to any “expert” who can find a scenario to explain how the opposite is somehow in play.
