No surprise that fewer Americans want to risk their lives for meaningless wars fought on behalf of greedy politicians and their special interests.

It seems increasingly obvious the army has historically been used to decimate the ranks of conservative, god fearing and patriotic folk. Cannon fodder for the lefties in charge.

They have to increase salaries then people will come
They're down to promising refugees Citizship to join Billions for weapons and big business while military families live in food stamps and section 8 housing.
The Sheeple are catching on when Politicians say we THANK you for your service they step from the podium before saying SUCKERS. Bush Trump Cheny Bolton all Draft Dodgers all War Hawks.

Why the hell would you join the military when your employer think's your a white supremacist oppressor?

Still one has to wonder if you don't have a volunter army then what are the alternatives. Conscription? Or more likely just more funding to 'private' armies which I have to admit does not seem like it would end well. Let us no forget Blackwater, renamed as Xe Services in 2009 and known as Academi since 2011

This is a good thing, they seize power by stealing elections but cannot defend what they have because nobody is willing to fight and die for their leftist agenda. They will soon learn when they lose a few battles and it costs several hundred thousand battles. They will change their ways at that time because they have to
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."

"'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."

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.
it's always a good idea to have some of /ourguys/ in there regardless.

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."
The free market wins once again
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
