Here, here....Our biggest problem filling the ranks is not a lack of volunteers, its that our kids are fat couch potatoes who have never lifted anything heavy er than an X-box.
When I was following enlistments in the aftermath of 9/11, expecting the enlistment offices to be flooded with volunteers, it didn't happen, in fact female and black enlistments plummeted.
Although the needs were small, and the population huge, the military was having to lower standards and raise age limits out of desperation.
