Rep. Paul Gosar blamed the drop in white recruits on the army’s supposed “woke Marxist ideologies.”

    Incentives for joining the military target lower income communities.

    The military is continually sent into one unpopular conflict after another since at least Vietnam (right around the time the report noticed a drop in white enlistment).

    Legislators pass and / or preserve policies that create barriers preventing non-whites from accumulatimg wealth.

    Hmmm … I wonder if there is a connection.

      This can be used against him:

      Wait, let me get that right - you’re basically saying you want more white people to be poor…? I’m not sure your “base” is going to like that.

        I doubt his followers are thinking things through that far.
