So, Something Really Good Has Happened to The Military Under Trump and Hegseth

The momentum has carried into 2026 as the Army announced it reached its recruiting goal more than four months early. The Air Force and Space Force hit theirs five months ahead of schedule. Prior years told a different story. Multiple branches missed targets in 2022 and 2023, which is something Sen. Tuberville and other critics attributed to perceptions of a force more focused on internal politics and “woke” policies than warfighting.

Applications and propensity to serve among young Americans had eroded. By contrast, the U.S. armed forces have undergone a rebound under Hegseth that reflects a renewed focus, clearer mission emphasis, and a return to prioritizing lethal readiness; it’s clear he believes a proper name is essential to this rebuild.

Despite the recruiting renaissance, Hegseth and the president continue to be dogged by America Last Democrats and their commie ways. They continue to resist making the military great again because doing so strengthens a core pillar of American society, which they work every day to tear down.
