    It’s kinda crazy, that they are spending this much and still can’t attract soldiers.

    I never hear anything but bad stories about being in the military, so I’m not surprised that nobody wants to join.

      When I was growing up, Military Vets in my mind were like 60+ yos who have a lifetime of wisdom.

      Today, half the military vets at my job are around 30 years old, and while proud to serve, commiserate over how fucked up it was.

      Where the other half are around 45yo and complain about how difficult it is to get support and strongly tell their children not to join the military.
