Less than half of young American adults view the US military positively, new poll finds amid recruitment struggles

Americans ages 18 to 29 have expressed more negative views of the military than positive, Pew data shows.
Older Americans are more likely to be supportive of the military.
The new poll data comes as the US military continues to struggle to meet its recruitment goals.
Insider Today
 
The results of a new poll show that over half of America's young adults, 53 percent, have a negative opinion of the US military, a potential problem as the armed forces grapple with recruitment challenges.

The Pew Research Center reported Thursday that overall, 60 percent of Americans hold positive views of the US military, however, only 43 percent of adults in the US ages 18 to 29 expressed positive views.

I doubt this is as true today as it once was. The "WOKE" military of Milley and Austin is a completely different animal than the way it used to be.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Much of the downfall of respect for America started with Lurch Kerry and his Viet Nam Vets of America.   Even with that, the military offered young people a different approach to life, taught discipline, and challenged young people to rise above the ordinary.  At least that was my own experience.

Now they are challenged to be more accepting of gays and trannies, be eco-warriors, be everything you can be in any other job, take mental abuse from democrats and rinos, be boarder babysitters, get blasted in some remote nowhere with no response, etc., etc.

Why would they think positively of that?

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
