If the military would restructure pay grades so that bonuses and extra pay can be rewarded based on your position in the military, you might get more qualified applicants wanting to join. In the US Military, an E-4 specops soldier, engineer, or cyber security specialist are all paid the same as the E-4 gate guard grunt, despite having vastly more knowledge and critical skills needed to complete the military mission successfully. Sure, the benefits are great but $30k salary is $30k salary. Why do you think so many skilled service members leave after their first contract? Sure, people are out of shape and don't qualify. But people who WANT to join the military will lose weight and get fit to do it. The problem is, people no longer want to do it.

I'm seriously tired of people saying that job choice is due to "what's cool." I specifically remember back like 15 years ago all the parents, advisors, and experts telling kids from the earliest days of primary school to go to college - it's the only measure of success, don't do trades, but be a working professional. I know millennials followed that advice and it was bunk after 2008. Now everyone, even many of the same people advising college, are blaming those college grads for making that choice when they were listening to what was supposedly the informed opinion and stating that the trades were obviously the way to go. They were just kids, whose brains were not fully developed, listening to what was bombarded to them throughout school. I just wish people had a better grasp of why kids choose what they did.

Meanwhile, you've got guys like me. Despite an 86 ASVAB score enlists as an Airborne Infantryman. Gets selected for a specialized reconnaissance unit, gets security clearances, in 5 years spend a total of 26 months in Afghanistan, decided to call it good and got out. A few years later I decide I want to rejoin and go SF, as a lot of my buddies that were in have gone that route. They're doing good things and I want to be a part of it. Talk with a recruiter, fill out paperwork. After over a year of back and forth, medical evaluations, psych testing, TS clearance paperwork, foreign language proficiency testing, the recruiter calls me and tells me that because I (as a WA state resident) had smoked pot 4 years prior to this application (after it was legalized in WA), I'm disqualified. To put this into perspective. To apply to be a Special Agent in the FBI you can't have smoked pot in the previous 3 years or done any other drug in the last 10. From that metric, it's easier for me to join the FBI than to rejoin the Army. So yeah. You've got one guy here who is smart, has physically done the job before, has the experience, has seen combat, AND WANTS TO REJOIN, and is denied because he got high in 2014.

This has been an ongoing problem with military recruiting for decades. To join any branch of the military, you must be mentally, morally, and physically qualified, and the majority of the 17 - 29 year old population falls short in one or more of the three categories. I was a Marine Recruiter in a southern town from 1994 to 1997 and genuinely struggled to recruit the assigned number each month. One issue was the fallacy that, “you can always join the military if you can’t do anything else.” The fact of the matter is that many of the population couldn’t pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery ( ASVAB) test. Several college/jr. college grads failed the pre-ASVAB screening tests. One of the 11 high schools I was assigned to had an AP English teacher ask to take the ASVAB when it was given at the school. She failed it. Another issue was the trend of a sedentary lifestyle. The overwhelming majority of the HS students couldn’t pass the Initial Strength Test, even if they were athletes. Yet another challenge was that “Dr. Mom” would convince their kids that they had asthma and needed an inhaler or that they had ADD/ADHD/OhDeeDooDahDay and needed Ritalin. Dr. Mom would then take little Johnny to enough doctors until they found one who agreed and would prescribe whatever Dr. Mom said. Both medications are disqualifying. Finally, police records and juvenile offenses presented a roadblock to a surprising number of the age-qualified target audience. The old adage of the judge giving the convicted individual the choice of jail or the military has been gone for years - if it was ever actually true. The bottom line is that the military does not want criminals. In three years I recruited 78 young men and women. The common thread is that they were good, hard-working kids who wanted to better themselves and were not afraid of a challenge. I always told them that I would never recruit anyone if I wouldn’t serve with them in combat. This came to fruition; I later served in Iraq with several of them.

Hes been fighting the government for his benefits for decades and they still have denied his treatments for his cancer he developed while handling nuclear waste while in the military. And they never told him the risks either. They subjected him to radiation and now wont help treat him or take responsibility.

I'm an American immigrant. 2 years ago I used to be very depressed and anxious and also had sucidal tendencies. I was going through a lot, my parents got divorced because my mom was sleeping with someone else, and after their divorce I used to see her with her boyfriends. She never used to spend time with me. These events had really bad effects on me. I quit my high school football team, and became obese. I stopped studying and became very invested in video games. Now I'm trying to recover from what I have become, once KZitem recommended me a lecture of Jordan Peterson about single parenthood and its effects on the child. I realised I had a lot of these problems and that motivated me to make myself better. All I'm saying is the American society is fucked up. Even the teachers are left wing supporters and also woke. There is no patriotism in Americans anymore. Now how do we think that there will be people who are motivated or eligible to join military?

It’s more about school loans. That’s it. After the Ukraine and Russia I saw that I was the only one that actually wanted to be sent over to help in any way possible, everyone else was saying “I didn’t sign up for this.” Honestly for me it’s a scary thought. I’m not trying to say I’m pronouncing myself a hero, because I’m not, I’m trying to say that not only is it hard to find eligible people, but it’s also nearly impossible to find someone wanting to serve.

The QC At peak production the US received less than 0.9% of our total oil from Iraq and 0.00% from Afghanistan. The average number for Iraq hovered around 0.7% while getting more than 80% of our total oil from Canada and the state of North Dakota. After leaving the Iraq war $6,400,000,000,000 in debt, our percentage of oil from Iraq slightly decreased which means that the theory that we invaded for oil makes no sense whatsoever. The reason gas prices fell after the war was because we made an agreement with the Saudi Arabian Department of Defense to pay for their defense budget and they would give us discounted oil in exchange. We invaded Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical regime and liberate the Iraqi people, plain and simple.

War Monger that doesn’t necessarily indicate that it’s the result of the presidency. During bush, our country was invaded and attacked for the first time since Pearl Harbor. Every American in the country wanted revenge. Then after a while it came out the war on terror was based on a lie, that Saudi had WMDs when they didn’t at all and our government knew that at the time. People lost all their trust overnight. Why would you wanna join the military knowing that the wars we are fighting right now aren’t working and aren’t being fought for what they tell us they are. And that truth about the bush administration lying about wmds was revealed to the public during the Obama administration.

@@icankickflipok you might want to investigate and check your facts. WMD were found in Iraq. Small enough to fit a couple bunkers. That's why a bunch of Marines, sued the US government for exposure and non discloser of what was in the bunkers. As of 2005, the entire US knew, we were mislead on the invasion of Iraq. That was well before, Obama, took office. 2006 to 2010, the US military filled their recruitment numbers. Yes, that had everything to do, with the President. 2006, was the peak of the war and bloodiest, yet, more people joined. US Millay enlistment and retention went down, in 2011 to 2015 because of, Obama. It was a direct reflection of how Obama, treated and hated the military. We can see the same under Clinton, in the late 90s. The security of Saudi oil, is extremely important to American. The American dollar, is backed by Saudi oil. Any threat to Saudi Arabia or their oil, is a threat to the American and world economy. War, is simply an extension of policy and politics. We created a military, to protect our borders and to protect US personnel and interests abroad. You may not like it but protecting the US economy, is a just war. Unless your ok with our economy collapsing.

I’ve done recruiting. He’s correct, it honestly is negligible compared to the number of physical/mental hindrances of those interested. The general attitude toward the war doesn’t have much bearing on 17 year olds in East Texas or Central Pennsylvania where the military has mostly been pulling for years. Most folks only ‘kinda’ join for patriotic reasons.

The truth is that while most high school students would be fine with that aspect of the war, the ones they want, fitter, smarter and healthier, do not. They want the best of the best, but the best of the best don't want in. Not to mention that they are losing a lot of people due to mental health related issues. The military is going to have to reevaluate its policies on ADHD, anxiety and depression, because the reality is that more people aren't suffering from those things, its more people are being properly treated. I know a lot of guys who would join but would have to wait until they are 24-25 because of the 3 year rule for some of these drugs. By the time that comes around, they will have careers and not be willing to join up anymore.

For civilians watching this clip: Members of the military have to score in the roughly top 1/3 on the ASVAB (to assess mental ability). They also have to be physically fit, no significant legal problems, not using drugs, within a particular age bracket (17-28). You usually need a high school diploma or GED. No tattoos (unless there's a war then they relax this one). Medically you can meet all of those but if you have certain medical conditions they won't let you in. Certain medications will prevent you from joining (in a war zone they can't guarantee you get your meds). Even after you join some kids fail out of basic training for socialization, or inability to be stressed or yelled at. This is especially prevalent for boys raised without fathers or who were never part of contact sports. If you want to join definitely talk to a recruiter because the specific standards as well as spots for certain jobs and bases change all the time. Also the reserves are usually easier to get into than active duty and once you are in the reserves you can find spots to go active (if you can't directly go active for some reason). Military life has a lot of good or a lot of bad things about it, just depends on what you want in life.

Some of my friends have to commit 10 years of their life. It's very limiting and the cons outweigh the pros. Usually, people view the military as a last option if you're desperate to get a job. People aren't as "patriotic" anymore. You're gonna have to give us better reasons to join for the sacrifice.

That's a pretty narrow minded view point.

But like 75% of the military aren't even combat jobs. It's logistics truck drivers, dentist, secretary's, fireman, etc. So when you say "fight and die" you must realize not many really do that in the military unless they like volunteer for a combat job. Hell most of the military right now is just deploying medical equipment to different parts of the country to "fight" against COVID-19

Not mention who tf would want to fight and sacrifice so much for the undeserving people, government, and nation we have right now? Hard sell man, hard sell. Not to mention every time there’s a movie released it’s about these guys getting blown up or ripped apart ie Black Hawk Down, lone survivor, men of valor, American sniper, etc. Try to convince these young men to go fight and die in conflicts no ones heard or cares about instead of going to college and chasing some puss.
