Military families recommending the service to family members plummets -poll
By Monica Showalter
The pay is low. The prestige is falling. The housing is often dilapidated and roach-infested. You move around a lot and your children constantly have to say 'goodbye' to their friends. The wars are lost and the border stands unguarded from invaders. The indoctrination is pure wokesterism, advising you that you're the bad guy and the flag you serve under is worth taking a knee. You take a vaccine known to harm young people, or else. You shower with unreconstructed transgender individuals. You watch as your highly bemedaled top commander doesn't bother with basic military fitness regulations required of you. The consultants get their big-dollar military contracts. You? You just aren't as important.
Any surprise that military families' willingness to recommend the uniformed service to family members is dropping sharply?
excerpt:
When researchers delved into the thinking of service members, veterans and family members who won't recommend military service, five top rationales surfaced:
Military service is hard on marriages, family relationships and relationships with children
Military pay is too low, especially given the job's difficulty and stress
Some military leaders are bad, corrupt, abusive and controlling
Benefits such as health care aren't worth the challenges associated with service
Frequent moves between duty stations and frequent overseas deployments
