I know a military family (both spouses in) and they tell their sons do NOT enlist in these times.
As a retired military veteran I didn’t recommend service for my son which ended a long family service to the country which hurt. However, what I see on the military installations today and read in the different periodicals I can no longer say the military is a great place to begin a career. Wokeness has taken over along with once was military standards. The ones I see would be unfit during my time.
The military has been corrupted and infected with the DEI virus.
The problems the military has now with recruitment will only get worse—with the resulting loss of military capability.
