Why the US military faces recruiting crisis: GOP senator
Sen. Tom Cotton reveals the true intent of the U.S. military and why it is struggling to fill its ranks amid a recruiting crisis on 'The Ingraham Angle.'
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., explained why the U.S. military faces a crisis when it comes to recruiting and a woke agenda Wednesday on "The Ingraham Angle."
