No POC, no women want to enlist in the military. Now no one that wants to pursue higher education at any of these schools. Yeah, lets have the least educated plan for our military of the future. Of course that includes Hegseth. It is criminal that HE was selected and R's confirmed him. We will "pay" for his ignorance for decades to come
