2019 was actually a particularly good year for army recruitment, but this wasn't due to any surge in patriotic feeling. Recruitment numbers are primarily about money. It's that simple.
"The update comes on the heels of a good recruiting and retention year for the service. The Army ended 2019 with an end-strength of almost 484,000 active duty soldiers. The service was originally aiming for just 478,000. [...] As for the the 500,000-soldier goal, Army leaders have cautioned in the past that it could fluctuate, but when they were bearish, it was usually due to a strong economy that made for a poor recruiting environment."

Ofcourse it has meaning, with out our blood hiw else would we force countries to use the jewish banking system? Hiw would we enrich oil companies and defense contractors adding value to the stock market! I did my part, in the middle east...every one should sacrifice themselves at the alter of the golden cow.

I think as the left solidified it's power that the military will be used against citizens
Why would you join? The country hates whites, Allows degens and fighting for endless wars for our “greatest ally”. Then come home to those “just an idea” to burn the flag you swore an oath on. While the feds arrest you for the hate crime you might commit.
Early on during the W. Bush presidency my Uncle who was an officer in the Navy. He told me that they were handing out mandatory surveys throughout many of the branches. He was vague on if it was only applied to officers. One of the questions that he really found disturbing was, "if you were given the order to fire on an unarmed US citizens, would you follow the order?" This is not verbatum obviously, but i remember later on he told me that the rumor was Bush wad very displeased with results.
The reality is our military in the higher ranks are corrupt just like most of the politcians. As seen from the most recent 4 star general who is advocating for CRT aka "white rage."
Interesting you have that experience as a stroy broke today about Erik Prince turning Ukraine into a private base to build a private army. It is this lack of transparency in the business of Defense Industry and the Military Industrial Complex.
What’s taken so long … at least for last 50 years the military has been used as a meat grinder for conservatives / patriots in the narcissistic and sociopathic interests of the “progressive” elites / oligarchs

"'Perhaps most surprising, we discover a disconnect between respondents with military experience and their families: The former are more likely to acknowledge that pay and benefits are a primary motivation for service, whereas their families are more likely to embrace a patriotic service narrative,' according to the study."
