US military sees sharp drop in white recruits (telegraph.co.uk)
The US army has seen a dramatic drop in the number of white recruits, according to a study.
Last year, according to the Military.com website, the army fell 10,000 short of its 65,000 enlistment target.
Underpinning the drop is a dramatic decrease in white recruits from 44,042 in 2018 to 25,070 in 2023, representing a six per cent reduction in just one year.
It meant that the proportion of white recruits fell from 56.4 per cent in 2018 to 44 per cent.
At the same time, the number of black and Hispanic recruits remained static.
The trend meant that the proportion of black recruits increased from 20 to 24 per cent and Hispanics from 17 to 24 per cent.
While US military numbers in Iraq are now a small fraction of 170,000 at the peak of American involvement, commitments elsewhere have risen, especially in the Pacific.
UK Armed Forces numbers drop by almost a third in 23 years, MOD data reveals
Since 2000, the UK's three military services have seen a fall of almost 32% in the number of personnel they have – a combination of cuts and recruitment challenges – the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has revealed.
Whether it be Britain potentially preparing itself to form a "citizen army" in the event of war with countries such as Russia or strict medical rules meaning even members of England's rugby team would struggle to join the Army, recruitment has been a key issue across the tri-service.
Overall figures for personnel across all services showed a 31.7% decrease in numbers from 207,000 in 2000 to 141,480 last year, a fall of 65,200.

No Army for White Men: Britain’s Self-Inflicted Recruiting Crisis ━ The European Conservative
This power has been pitifully weakened. What is more, it did not have to happen. The British army, tasked with the small matter of defending the realm, has shrunk by 40% since 2010. We now boast a mere 70,000 enlisted soldiers. There is even talk of conscription in the event of war.
