We won't have a military with the lack of recruits. Anything is better than where we are right now

Bullshit wars always result in shitty recruitment a decade or so later.
The bread and butter of recruitment is kids whos uncles and family friends tell them good things about their experience in the military. Bullshit wars mean those stories ain't good.
Recruitment rate dropped after Nam, and we remained the global hegemon.
Give it another decade and the stories will turn from "Bush lied, my buddy died, and I can't hear shit" to "Well I can't hear shit, but they paid for my college" and "Well it was boring and hard, but they taught me how to maintain helicopters and now I have a good job at an aeronatics company making more money than most college grads".
