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
. At the House Armed Services personnel subcommittee hearing, Franklin Parker, assistant secretary of the Navy for manpower and reserve affairs, said “under 13 percent [of eligible recruits] have a parent that served” in one of the armed services.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), panel chairman, added four out of five recruits have a family member who served. The number of veterans in the population is declining.
Agnes Schaefer, Army assistant secretary for manpower and reserve affairs, also cited the effect of base realignment and closure, especially in the Northeast, on recruiting. There “are huge swaths of the country” in which there is no post and where residents don’t routinely see “a person in uniform walking down the street.”

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.

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?
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.
They have the best PR and the nicest uniforms.
““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.
There has been a member of my family that has fought in every major American war since the Revolutionary War. I was career. I have told my kids to stay away- the govt doesn’t want patriots, it wants sheep (preferably brilliantly multicolored).
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.
“he Marine Corps, is able to hit recruiting goals.”
Barely. They only needed 33,000 and made it by only 21. Their numbers are usually much better than that. They pulled out all the stops to get there this year.
He is no longer interested.
My dad who was retired US Army 1939-1963, refused to allow me to join whe Jimmah Cahtah was president.
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
The fact is they want the draft, or to destroy the economy to the point that the military is the only option for a young person.
The military to them is the largest social program of them all.

well said...deserves a
Standing Ovation.
Well, I agree with you up to a point. I believe that they only want to draft other people and other people's children.
What tripe
