Who would join the military while this regime is in power? I joined while President Carter was in the White House, and that was bad enough, but I never sensed that he didn’t like his own country. I get that vibe 24/7/365 from these people.
All the branches today are easily meeting recruitment quotas. In fact, they're turning people away who want to serve and showing the door to many already serving. The days of the military being the last guaranteed "fall back" job are over.
You ask who would join? Many are people who just want a job. The whole demographic of the military is changing. Where it used to be 18-19 year olds, fresh out of high school who wanted to serve and earn money for college are now competing for limited slots with 22-25, 27, 30 and up to 34 year olds --many who have already earned college degrees, enlisting just for the guaranteed paycheck.
And if you get in trouble these days, you're not going on restriction, going to the brig, getting extra duty, busting rust, etc. You're getting kicked out. Every day the military is looking more and more like a civilian employer.
