It is well documented that tens of thousands of American vets are homeless and twenty or more veterans commit suicide daily, veterans have even been deported, but the Army wants you to think it’s failure in bringing in recruits is the fault of a “strong” economy. Pfft. 

What strong economy???????? Where???? Because all I see is millennials not wanting to become government pawns who come back fucked up and can’t receive help because the government fails the troops they so called support consistently. Down with the Us military. It’s destabilized more countries than we can count on both hands.

The main draw of the military used to be that you could get specialized job training that you could use after. That has proven not to happen. Like when the main draw of the military is to get out of poverty and then you see all these veterans staying in poverty, that doesn’t do much for recruitment.
