The U.S. military is at its lowest number of members in 80 YEARS

Can’t say I blame them. They grew up in the aftermath of 9/11.

I'm surprised to see you posting this (unless you are celebrating it), since you are an active member of the "blame America first" crowd here, usually going on about how the "military industrial complex" is screwing us all over, etc. Aren't you happy that fewer Americans want to be neo-cons? I mean, you can't possibly want to increase defense spending and be militarily pro-active around the world, right?

Would you want to go die in a third world country while defending a society which allows people like Claudine Gay to promote antisemitism at Harvard and excuses away the barbarism of terrorist groups like Hamas?

It’s because the army has gone woke

They see many disabled and mentally ill homeless vets that have been thrown away once they served their usefulness to God and country. Politicians on both sides use them as props or pawns and then vote to cut support and VA benefits. Some electeds call them “heroes” at one rally and then “losers” at the next one.

”Thank you for your service!”, doesn’t mean squat when you need shelter and medical care. Gen Z sees through the jingoistic propaganda and imagines a better life than being disposable cannon fodder.

Exactly. Being in the military has way to many risks involved. It's just not worth it.

Yet, the highest budget in history.

Pick a new catch phrase. You sound like a full blown imbecile.

Finally Americans are tired of murdering brown people around the other side of the world. Took long enough ...

Let me guess. You’re British.
Just brush that colonialism under the rug and take the high road - am I right

How is that different from growing up after WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam

Woke is a joke

Woke and you’ll choke

Go smoke your woke

Way to remove all doubt.

Tommy Tuberville

"Frey's analysis of U.S. Census data suggests that as of 2019, 50.9% of Generation Z is white, 13.8% is black, 25.0% Hispanic, and 5.3% Asian. 29% of Generation Z are children of immigrants or immigrants themselves, compared to 23% of Millennials when they were at the same age"

Another impact.

After losing in Vietnam the Pentagon uses the armies of fascist dictatorship regimes like Ukraine and Israel has.
