#14Less people being willing to go fight and die in pointless wars is at least a small positive sign for society.
Not a good sign for a country that depends on its military to maintain a hegemony. It’s also not like our “enemies” are reducing their armies or anything.
Thought it was the dollar

#15I don't know how long the service is, but wouldn't providing high school therein be a win-win, then?
Soldiers are generally quite busy with their military work to go through even a GED process.

#16Missing in discussions about the US military recruiting problem is a discussion of the shift away from 20 year defined benefit pensions to the “Blended Retirement System.” When such a terrific deal slides off the table, economic incentives shift accordingly.

#17Hope they haven’t forgotten about Project 100,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_100,000 Another article is more explicit about exactly who isn’t joining the military anymore. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/01/10/army-sees-sha...
>Another article is more explicit about exactly who isn’t joining the military anymore.
The article doesn't confirm whether the total of any other groups is dropping, but it can be inferred from the numbers given that recruiting is very low across the board. It's worth having a racial remark in the title for clicks alone.

#18Perhaps greater effort on retention would help stem the decline.

#19Oh good, so we continue to exploit the uneducated for our military so they won't realize how little we actually support veterans until it's too late.

On June 1, 2022, the Marines tweeted out a helmet with rainbow bullet tips for Pride Month: https://globalnews.ca/news/8888090/marines-rainbow-bullets-p... is one such link, you can find others.
The US Army 2021 video, "Emma, The Calling," is exactly what I described: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8-Yslv4PME
And the "Army sees sharp decline in white recruits." https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/01/10/army-sees-sha...
I could continue if I wanted, but I'll stop there, because I think I've made my point that "The things I claimed happened," did, in fact, happen. Even if you'd rather not accept them.
