It's even more difficult to recruit to the military when the commanders are pushing ideological policy that coddles weakness and has people walk on egg shells. It's hard to recruit when they're letting in people you can't trust to have your back because they have a default 40% chance of trying to do the enemy's job for them. It's hard to recruit when they sacrifice combat readiness in favor of feelings and act accordingly. It's hard to recruit when you have drag queens, very feminine men, trying to be social media ambassadors for the military. All of that said, there's also something most people don't understand. You're never supposed to have faith in the government. You're supposed to not trust it, you're supposed to scrutinize it. Hell the military doesn't swear allegiance to the government, their allegiance is sworn to a set of laws crafted to RESTRAIN that government. And they swear that allegiance in the same breath that they swear to defend that same set of laws from not only foreign enemies, but domestic ones as well. Technically an enemy of the constitution is an enemy of the US military and a government that seeks to undermine it, you see where i'm going with this.

To trust a government doesn't mean you can't scrutinize them. You can judge someone like your friends actions while still believing they have your best interests in mind.

Slavery was normal before the 1800's. Not just in the United States, but all over the world. Before the Europeans started colonizing other countries, it was mostly Europeans being taken as slaves by Arab kingdoms and empires. In Asia, Africa and other continents slavery was also considered a normal part of life. Those times were brutal for everybody. Europeans were the first to abolish slavery. And today there are more slaves in the world (nearly all of them in Asia, Africa and South America) than during the height of slavery in the United States.

Why would they? Our military hasn’t fought a legal war in decades and just ends up pulling out and arming the enemy. Gen Z is gay, but so is shooting cavemen for Lockheed.

A lot of young people are disenfranchised with our government and their economic situation. If the system isn't working for them they don't feel inclined to work for it. If the government wants to undo the damage they need to start by shifting their priorities to improving the domestic realities of American citizens and in so doing; they would see a renewed connection between young people and the state.

The same reason young men didn't want to go to Vietnam is the same reason why Young men don't want to be in the military now. This isn't WW2.

All the American wars have been this way since the civil war. The oligarchs took control after the civil war. Imperialism abroad and tyrannical at home.

"since WW2" Lmao silly normie, we been the bad guys waaaaaay longer than that.

thank you for not being biased. thinking about going to the army for 3 years to get an intelligence job a little easier for cyber security

Speaking as a fighting age British male here in Cheshire, England, Maybe one of the people in my year at school joined and didn't last long. We have nothing to fight or die for, the country is flooded with non-British, we have little to no rights, the cost of living is beyond what most can afford, basic services are falling apart at the seams, etc. not to mention the fact that our government is completely despised by anyone under 40. I'd be amazed if we still have infantry in 20 years time. Do not believe what you see on the news, the UK is in economic and cultural free fall to the point where full time employed people are freezing to death in winter and starving all year. Why would we die for a country that makes basic survival a challenge.

Remember when you literally used to rule the world to a degree that even the current day US empire blushes with jealousy? When your monarch conquered entire continents into the commonwealth? I'm afraid my own empire is nearing that moment when someone revolts against their world order like the Colonists did, which breaks us. It'll probably be China or Russia.
