☆ The Military Recruitment Crisis Is a Symptom of Cultural Rot
  + stars: | 2023-04-15 | by ( David Mccormick | James Cunningham | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
America’s cultural cancer manifests itself in many ways, but no symptom is more telling than our low military recruitment. Last year the Army hit only 75% of its recruiting target, while other services had to scramble to meet theirs. The all-volunteer force, formed 50 years ago, is in peril and threatens our ability to defend ourselves in a dangerous world. A volunteer military requires able-bodied recruits, but 77% of young Americans would be unfit to serve for health reasons. Every year, fentanyl and other drugs take more than 106,000 lives and affect millions more, reducing the pool of recruits.

After a 20-second-long, caught-on-camera dispute, Codrington, 35, slashed Cunningham across the neck with a knife, leaving him to die, Essig said. At 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 22, Codrington entered a Lower East Side bar with a pit bull and a baseball bat, Essig said. Afterward, Essig said, Codrington went home, then said he’d “cool off” with a walk through the park. In May, a 48-year-old man was shot and killed riding a train between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Despite random acts, the number of crimes reported on public transit by September was averaging slightly below pre-pandemic levels, though ridership was also down.

The Freedom of Information Act is a popular tool for taxpayers and journalists to hold government to account. But what if the FOIA law doesn’t apply to documents or communications among many government employees? That’s the theory endorsed by Michigan state Judge Jacob James Cunningham , who ruled on Dec. 15 that the state’s Freedom of Information Act doesn’t apply to public-school teachers.
☆ Former US ambassadors push for help for Afghan allies in spending bill

CNN —A group of retired ambassadors, all of whom served as chief of mission at the US Embassy in Afghanistan, have written a letter to congressional leaders pushing them to include the Afghan Adjustment Act in the omnibus spending bill. The legislation “keeps our deep and binding commitments we made to our wartime allies. This is a moral imperative but also ensures we will find future allies in conflicts to come,” former ambassadors Ryan Crocker, Ronald E. Neumann, William Wood, Earl Anthony Wayne, James Cunningham, P. Michael McKinley, Hugo Llorens and Ross Wilson write in the letter being sent Wednesday evening. The letter, organized by AfghanEvac’s Shawn vanDiver and former ambassador Phil Kosnett, stands as a push from respected leaders and experts on Afghanistan that passing the bill is essential to meeting the United States’ obligations. This story is breaking and will be updated.
