Let’s Restore Our Military to Greatness - Part 2 with Guest Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin

Did you know that all branches of the U.S. military are struggling to recruit young people to serve our country? Or that the U.S. Army missed their goal this year by 15,000 soldiers? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin continues speaking on the moral decline in America’s armed forces and its dangerous effect. Due to the focus and embrace of political “woke” ideology, this decorated warrior states that there are too many soldiers who are ill-equipped today for the rigors of combat.
