Why Is U.S. Military Recruitment Up So Much Now?
 

In early February, the US Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) announced its best December in 15 years, enlisting 346 soldiers daily. By the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, the Army also met its goal of recruiting 55,000 new active-duty soldiers.
 
President Trump and other administration officials immediately took credit for the feat, with newly-confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claiming that America’s youth want to serve under Trump’s “bold & strong ‘America First’ leadership.”

The President made similar remarks on April 21 at the White House Easter Roll, stating that “[The military has] had the highest number of recruits enlistments [in]…28 or 29 years,” and that “It’s all happened–since November 5th.”

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

Because illegal aliens have taken so many jobs Americans want? :pondering:
