So why is the military not meeting recruiting goals? Of course people are serving in the military. A lot of folks joined years ago to get money for college while serving their country. Fast forward to now. They want their college for free without sacrificing anything. My Grandson has $160,000 in college debt. He makes more money straight out of college than I ever have. Sooner or later he’ll pay back his debt, and so should everyone else.
ALL successful societies have one thing in common, a successful business economy! The FREE MARKET system is the only system that has ever been successful throughout history!! We have the undisputed highest standard of living in human history, because of two things, THE RULE OF LEGISLATED LAWS, NOT MEN, AS FLAWED AS IT IS, AND A FREE MARKET ECONOMY, AS UNJUST AS THAT SEEMS AT TIMES!! If allowed to function freely, this type economy will correct it's on problems!! Government interference, is always a mistake in the long run!! They can, and should, feed, and house, the REAL NEEDY, and turn the parasites out to fend for themselves! This high minimum wage would simply increase the already OUT OF CONTROL INFLATION, AND THE $20.00 WOULDN'T BUY ANY MORE THAN THE WAGES THEY GET NOW! Venezuela has had ONE MILLION PERCENT INFLATION, FOR YEARS, THEY JUST KEEP ADDING 0'S TO THEIR CURRENCY, AND IT STILL WON'T BUY ANYTHING!! It went from the nation with the highest standard of living in South America, to the nation with the lowest standard of living in only 20 years, thanks to communism, sharing the wealth, (making everyone equal!!) REMEMBER Obama going to Venezuela, when President, and PRAISING Hugo Chavez, as a GREAT LEADER? OVERWHELM THE NEXT RIGGED ELECTION, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!
I believe (and my currently serving son too) that the recruiting efforts went too far into weirdo territory and they lost the key demographic for our military which is white males. If you turn them off you lose the bulk of your recruits.
My sons battalion is at least 95% white male but every video the army puts out on them shows mainly female and minority soldiers.
Now, in the last 90 days the new ads coming out on the army YouTube page have went back to fighting and showing a lot more white males, which is what you need to fill our ranks.
You’re going to have to be more specific and help me understand where folks here have been “snobs”. Nothing wrong with most any job however I’ve said and will to continue to say that unskilled labor should NOT be paid skilled labor wages. I don’t think that disrespectful. And if an 8 year old can do your job then that’s a good indication you are an unskilled laborer. Ya wanna make more money? Learn a skill that deserves a higher wage and don’t complain that you should be making $20 an hour for clearing a tray off a table.

Not really. Just being real. I tried to support them many times. I just got tired of being consistently disappointed. I choose to not support poor service.
Nope, I don’t see that at all. It’s simply a factual way to bring perspective to people that think their abilities are worth far more than they actually are. There’s not a darn thing wrong being a table cleaner or burger wrapper but when you think you should be paid on the same level as a welder, nurse or mechanic then you aren’t living in reality. And to think you do sounds an awful lot socialism. Value as a human being and value as an employee are two totally different things. Guess I’m just not one to coddle people that don’t deserve it.
