Nothing new.We are having trouble finding people willing to sign up.
Why make $24k a year in the US Army, when you can make $70k working at an Amazon warehouse. You get room and board in the Army, but you are stuck with their room and board.Nothing new.
Why would someone want to obey some fuck who couldn’t hold a regular job when they could be an Amazon driver or uber eats worker on their own hours and no boss?
You appear to know a great deal about the military, Walter.Why make $24k a year in the US Army, when you can make $70k working at an Amazon warehouse. You get room and board in the Army, but you are stuck with their room and board.
And everyone remembers that expected service was extended during the Iraq War. They promise you two years active, and you end up eight years active... A lot of people are worried that might happen again. There are people who have spent five years in combat, which has not really happened before. The entire US involvement in WWII only lasted less than four years, and no one was in combat for all four of those years.
I am not saying the combat was harder than any before, it just was more time than has been asked before.
