This video explores four reasons why military is understaffed

I think the reason is simply there is no plausible threat to the US.  If there was, people would want to join, to defend something.  That has meaning.  Joining now has no meaning.  

Since the end of WWII, there has been no real threat against the US, but pretense that there is some threat has never been more strained and laughable than it is now.  It’s never been more obvious that soldiers are simply mercs for the deep state, working to arm terrorists around the world and kill innocent humans on a vast scale.

In 2018, a U.S. child in school was more likely to be shot than a U.S. soldier.

with no enemy, no danger to protect against, no real missions and nothing noble or righteous in military service, the soldiers grow bored.  The high ranking officers begin playing silly games like making the army “woke”.  This flies in the face of everything the military has stood for in the past.

 military training has historically been centered on crushing individualism to hone a fine tuned combat machine out of individuals who work together by learned instinct.  With its newfound focus on wokeness, and the individualism and respect for difference that implies, the military capability for units to act swiftly in unison is beyond stifled, it is destroyed.

It doesn’t matter.  These days, humans don’t fight wars, armed drones do.  Guided missile strikes and nuclear weapons have changed the game, there is no need for warriors in war anymore.  
 
 

This is how individualism used to be treated in the marines

the reason nobody is joining the military is because patriotic white men were always the backbone of our military...but now they are treated like 3rd class citizens 

usa has plans to draft children as young as 10 years old. young children learn how to operate the new video game war killing machines, faster than older volunteers. and little usa children lover to shoot people.

I do not buy into the notion that there is "too much peace" nowadays and that all of the Combat Hungry Kids of the Nintendo Baby Generation don't want to join unless they can spend their entire tour dodging copper penetrator IEDs in 120 degree heat in RAGHEDISTAN.

I think the exact opposite is true...kids who aren't college bound want to join a safe peace time military just long enough to learn a marketable skill and to qualify for GI BILL..
