Could be the part of the population that responds to military service is too familiar with what it has become. Here are a few articles I could instruct this person to read, but then willful ignorance can seldom be disturbed. What would you Add?

Agree, many of us familiar with the military wonder just what this Trillion Dollar monster has become, but one thing is quite OBVIOUS - under Democrat/Neocon rulers, it is certainly NOT meant to fight a non-perverted country.

The Bud Light Military Don’t fall for it: they still hate you.

But somehow the smallest of the 4 main military branches (not counting the Coast Guard and the new Space Force) with the fewest veterans, the Marine Corps, is able to hit recruiting goals.

"The No. 1 challenge facing U.S. military recruiting is the American public’s lack of familiarity with its armed services, the Pentagon’s and services’ civilian personnel leaders testified Wednesday"

I think its quite the opposite. Or putting it another way: who wants to go die for Joe Biden and the Neocon simps? Much less your pink haired neighbor who thinks you are Satan incarnate? Or a DC apparatus that acts like the Stasi?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

But just a few months ago they were saying that they didn't WANT people who's family had a history of military service.

They probably should make up their minds before opening their cake holes.

These guys are delusional. It is exactly the opposite, it is what Americans now know its military has turned into under this Affirmative Action SecDef and woke generals in the Joint Chiefs who are pushing woke ideology and Democrat agenda. It is also the fact that patriots in the military have been declared white supremacists and terrorists and being “hunted” down. And lets not forget the forced experimental jabs under threat of courts martial or expulsion if one refused.

““under 13 percent [of eligible recruits] have a parent that served””

Well, yeah. We know what the military is supposed to be and the dangers of it being a liberal hellhole. We won’t tell our kids they should join such a dangerous liberal organization.

[alternatives?]

The ones who aren’t aware of it would be those who join only for the benefits. They would cut and run at the first battle.

[PGR88]

Indeed, the problem is too much awareness

They drove out christians with LGBTQ/Tranny promotion

They drove out southerners with the attack on Confederate-general base names

They drove out conservatives with woke nonsense

They drove out white males in general with constant DEI propaganda

They drove out free-thinkers with the vax mandates

Hope they enjoy their woke shit-show

[goodnesswins]

What tripe

[wildcard_redneck]

Do US military never really had a problem recruiting until they went all globohomo. The only groups really enthusiastic about military service now are trannies, fags, lesbians and woketards. I feel so, so safe.

[Savage Beast]

And the House Panel fell for that?

[Billthedrill]

Lack of awareness? Uh, no. It’s an abundance of awareness that’s the problem. Young people don’t want to place themselves under the orders of racial bigots and sexual deviates who hate them. Is that difficult to understand?

[Zathras]

Back in my 20’s I considered becoming a nuclear enginner on a sub.
NO WAY would I consider it with today’s navy.
Unless I was a “Village People” supporter....

[eyeamok]

The No. 1 challenge facing U.S. military recruiting is the American public’s lack of familiarity

This is the problem with Drug Testing, the upper echelon DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. If they did, stupid statements like this would never be uttered

[funwithfood]

Au Counterair, I think the problem is recruits know too well about todays military

[Gaffer]

I tend to agree. The American public is on to what the military has become and they don’t want any part of it - for themselves or for their younger relatives. As a veteran, I sure won’t counsel any young person I know that the US Military is a viable option for them.

This won’t change until the military stops this “the first [insert race, gender or sexual depravity] here” attitude.

[Gay State Conservative]

Gee...I wonder if fags fornicating during morning formation might be a factor.

[Big Brother Go to Hell]

Chinese and Russian military planners must be SO scared of all that LOL! :)
