It's seemed pretty obvious to me that the military's recruitment issues are just because young people morally object to it. I (25) grew up in the shadow of 9/11, seeing the US invade other countries on false premises for oil, somehow that didn't motivate me to serve. Then you combine that with growing awareness for how inadequate veteran services are, and how you're essentially abused as a military member even if you don't see combat. Why would I join an organization that goes against my morals, is more likely than not to give me PTSD, and then when it's all done all I get is a lifetime of untreated mental illness along with 4 years of "free" college? Almost everyone I know my age who's joined either did it to escape poverty or because they come from a military family. I think any kind of perks are only band-aids on a collapsing militarized nation.
