I have 3 nephews whose fathers both served and 3 of their 4 grandfathers served. 1 had an ROTC scholarship awarded until it was yanked 2 weeks after they sent an officer to present it to him due to an allergic reaction to peanuts when he was 8. He was the most gung-ho of the 3. Then Biden was elected. Now, neither of the two younger are even considering enlisting.
My small town used to send 15-20 high school graduates every year. Over the past 2 years, only 6 have joined.
We had 3 navy, one AF and 1 Natty Guard out of a class of 330.
