Only One-Third of Military Families Would Still Recommend Service, Blue Star Families Survey Finds

Only 32% of military families would still recommend military service, citing poor job opportunities for spouses, poor mental and physical health care services, and housing concerns, among other issues, according to a survey conducted by Blue Star Families.

The likelihood of active-duty families recommending military service dropped from 55% in 2016 to just 32% in 2023, according to the survey. Active-duty troops, as well as National Guard and reserve family members, all cited time spent away from their families as their top issue with the military.
 
The annual survey had more than 7,400 responses between May and July 2023 and is the "most comprehensive" survey of its kind, open to service members, veterans, military families and members of the Guard and reserves, according to the organization's website. It is conducted by Blue Star Families in conjunction with Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Under=funding the military is a small price to pay to insure illegal aliens have everything they want.  Notice I didn't say need. :nono:

I'm surprised it is as high as 33%.
