“...along with a more general distrust of the military.”
I doubt that’s incorrect. I’d have a distrust of the military today also.

Army sees safety, not ‘wokeness,’ as top recruiting obstacle

If young people thought the culture was something worth dying for, then they’d join up. Just sayin’...
Appropriate from a General Fink
A friend in the USMC told me that in the past 15 years, drill sergeants have to deal with calls from anxious and hovering parents. And now its worse than ever.
I simply can’t imagine it. Anyone know if its true?
The Army can’t see through its Woke Glasses.
Idiots. Military people have always been for the most part have been straight strong young men in the prime of live who have tons of testosterone pumping through their systems. In other words people who feel impervious. Throughout history and throughout every culture this has been the norm that makes up the military. But that’s been deemed toxic masculinity and the Satanic deep state is trying to breed or medicate this out of boys.
I believe people just don’t feel that it’s worth defending anymore because the country doesn’t stand for anything anymore. It’s just one big Kleptocracy now.
It makes all the sense in the world to want to join the military run by a government that wants you dead. /s
Good God, I hope that's not true. Once the Chinese invade and put these kids in work camps, I'd like to see what happens when they tell their new overlords that its too much stress to break up rocks for the new Chairman Xi highway.
“said Maj. Gen. Alex Fink, head of ***Army marketing***”
I think I see the problem...more of the stupid MBA mentality that has infected the Officer Corps.

Fink later earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Illinois and a Master of Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College.
And look at his photo, the typical modern officer’s retarded grinning portrait.
Females bring a different culture to the military, they accelerate the left’s process of changing the military into just another federal job, and in time unionized.
The females will have the effect of focusing on safety, comfort, quality of life issues, daycare, childcare and time at home, constant attention from medical people and therapists, less stressful exercises, always better pensions, pay and benefits, and health care for all of the early discharges and post-service military care for all of the injuries women suffer from doing routine male work and stress that their bodies and bones, and minds aren’t built for.
War, combat, harsh living in cold, wet, and heat, unwashed clothes, unhealthy field eating, being away from the kids and doctors, basically what military life is all about and always has been, is not something that females will tolerate and they will make things the way they want them eventually.
They are “stuck on stupid.”
Young people don’t want to die or get injured, deal with the stress of Army life.
As many drugs and dumb chances as the take they would be safer in the Army.
TicToc teens are the first to be colored gone.
They need to double if not triple the pay for starters. Retention in todays military absolutely sucks. We are headed into a world war. With Russia then Likely China. Let some rich college kids fight the next war.
This sounds like some creepy spin from above to start a war and a draft. WTH is going on with statements like this? People have always joined for a job or patriotism, among whatever personal things shifted them to a military option to earn money, but “safety” was definitely never one of the military benefits, no matter how stupid one might be. Sheesh.
The federal government is a feral animal.
It may be that traditional Americans aren’t even applying in any great number anymore given what this recruiter is saying are the main concerns of the potential recruits.
I’d actually be much more concerned about the quality of recruits today than the quantity. Once the old guard(Real Americans) leave this military will be unable to defend the country.
