A new poll from Gallup finds that confidence in the U.S. Military is at its lowest point since the late 1990s.
Do you think this might be related to the inability of the military to meet recruiting goals in recent years?
This is horrible news for the good men and women of our armed services but more importantly, it’s a national security issue. Low morale is not good for defense.
The Hill reports: (Snip) The survey found 60 percent of Americans have confidence in the military, matching the lowest level since 1997. Confidence has not been lower since 1988, when it sunk to 58 percent.

And it all began after J6 when Austin and Millie began the purge which questioned the patriotism and integrity of every member of our armed forces. At the same time,
they tried to introduce CRT into DOD overseas schools under the leadership of Kelisa Wing, DOD's DEI chief. (Look up her books on Amazon.) Fortunately, that never happened.

After the Afghanistan debacle and the forced Covid shots, I would discourage young people from joining up. It is basically a lack of confidence in leadership.

I have always maintained my faith in our fighting force, but not that Claymation faced Gen. Mark a Milley. Hatred for America just oozes from top to bottom. He must have suffered the Feast of the Passed Over one too many times.

Medals Milley and Affirmative Action Austin are wreaking havoc on our military that we may never be able to undo. Incompetents and lunatics being promoted, who will then promote more incompetents and more lunatics.

Low? I have no confidence in the leadership of the military, and would not bother to even ask their opinion on anything.

The lack of confidence people are feeling is toward the brass, rather than toward the men and women who are trying to serve and defend our country. I have tremendous respect and appreciation for them. Unfortunately though the have a demented, corrupt CIC and the men and women who are charged with leading them are too focused on being "woke" and seemingly proud of it. Additionally, I'm of the opinion that some of them (think Milley) COULD BE on the CCP payroll. I hope I'm wrong about that....

80% of Military volunteers are "Legacy", their parents grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins were all proud military veterans. As former military have increasing doubts about the direction of the various services, and of the elected that command them? Volunteer numbers drop.
"When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became optional. I'm getting out before it becomes mandatory.".

I think confidence among veterans may be approaching post-Vietnam levels. It is definitely on a sharp decline. I hope that the young officers and enlisted movers from my family and community can withstand the DEI initiatives from the command structure. Maybe there will still he some good ones left to promote if we can get rid of the Milley boys at the top.

remember when W said that the greatest force for good in twentith century was the armed might of the United States of America? That was idolatry and I thought immediately, there will be hell to pay. Some well shaped karma comes our way. Though, what could we do about it. Anyway we did not try, and here we go.

The military is being transformed into a force of oppression which will be used against all of us who believe in Life, Liberty, and Justice for all and are true patriots of the Republic of the United States of America. That fat communist porker, Miley is retiring no doubt to seamlessly transition into a high paying position with one of the defense contractors who are making billions on the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trouble is the illegal Biden regime has now nominated a black (natch!) racist, woke Charles Q. Brown Jr., an America hating general who isn't fit to wear the uniform of a buck private. This traitor will complete this transformation of our military into a armed wing of the Communist Death Democrats.
It is no longer our Military and if we ever go to a real war, millions of us are going to die. Period.

Not surprising, given the very public top-down imposition of perversion and degeneracy that is being forced on the people in the military services.
If I had a military-age son or daughter I would certainly recommend AGAINST them enlisting.... and my Dad and my older brother were USMC, and d@mn Proud of it, and I of them!
The HairSniffer's handlers are doing everything they can to demoralize and weaken the various military services, just as they are doing everything they can to weaken, divide, and destroy America. They are not dumb, or stupid, or incompetent. They are EVIL.
Here's a video of a couple of young people listening to Paul Harvey's 1965 radio address "If I was the Devil."
I suggest that you watch it. They get it.

Much like the FBI, the general military personnel, the Gunts, are probably just fine. It's the people at the top that are the problem.

Get rid of incompetent and corrupt Austin and the swine in the WH and things will rapidly change. As our men fight for American freedom the first swine sold secrets that might have endangered our men even more. Draft dodger bidet of course knows nothing about that, just what he wants to have in his bank accounts. This filth family needs to be in prison for the rest of their miserable lives.

If Generals Milley and Austin, and "president" Joe Biden had worried less about "white rage" and more about the US service members, allies, and billion$ in military equipment they abandoned in Afghanistan, Americans might have more confidence in them. Note that between the three of them, Biden, Milley and Austin couldn't even get the evacuation right.

How can anyone have confidence in a military with open homosexuality paid for transgender surgery, women in combat and women at the Joint Chiefs of staff.?

I’m sure there are still a few good men…and women in military service. However, due to many stories of cheating going on in the military academies, I have zero confidence our armed forces.

Well when you have traditional military families who have made up the past combat arms advising their young people to no longer join the US military, common sense will tell you that is a very serious problem. Common sense also tells you that Biden and leftist Democrat favored so-called “transgenders” or others being promoted into high level military positions because of their race, many of who do not have to meet physical training standards and are non-deployable are not going to make up effective combat troops, other than in name only, who will face an enemy on foreign battlefields. Clearly the USA, unless there is a direct military invasion of North America, can no longer rely on any sort of military draft, as the leftist Democrats would never support it if it put their offspring at risk of being drafted, other than if they would serve as like military lawyers in higher headquarters away from dangerous battlefields. Obviously Biden, who is a leftist Democrat figurehead, with his rapidly decline cognitive abilities could care less.
