I\u2019ve had this discussion with Donald Trump Jr and so have other SEALs. Retention is an issue and so is recruitment,\u201d O\u2019Neill tweeted. \u201cThis is more than a political talking point. It\u2019s happening and it\u2019s not good.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/americanmilitarynews.com\/2022\/08\/navy-seals-spend-more-time-on-diversity-than-warfighting-seal-vets-say\/\">American Military News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Say what you may about Mr. O&#8217;Neill, he&#8217;s quite correct. Several sources point to fewer people being eligible for various reasons, and this is indeed a factor. Unasked is how many are turned away because of the debacle in Afghanistan, a hollow military, and draconian and useless policies all with Austin and Milley remaining unaccountable. <\/p>\n<p>Recent recruiting efforts have, shall we say, missed the mark.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"460\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MIYGFSONKbk\" title=\"EMMA | THE CALLING | GOARMY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ummm, yeah.
