Why do you think we are at an all-time historical low of interest in the military?

Too much politics are involved. We are no longer fighters or warriors. We are now just organizations that kneel down to political pressure. The military no longer train warriors but lawyers.

I think that GWOT is over and the idea of a potential war with Russia/China is less of a draw than with terrorists.

Pretty much all combat veteran Officers and Senior NCO’s have been retired or purged from the ranks, with a lot of combat experience vets just walking away and getting out at the end of their enlistments.
Those with combat experience that stayed were too junior at the time to really have any effect in the next conflict or war, and I say that with no disrespect whatsoever. The US military was the most diverse successful melting pot ever seen and a great place to be. woke D and I has ruined it!!

It has been emphasized how the military treats the people who sacrifice for them. Mental health is a very major ignored aspect in the military and people can see that. Whether they are not getting in because of that or if they are leaving the military because of that.  people do not want to be in spaces where they are not valued.

That was the main reason I got out to political. I was recommended for Drill Sergeant school got denied by my First Sergeant, to come back to the States and attend. The military is the most racist institution in the United States!!
