Black people are already over represented in the military and have been since Vietnam (despite hollywood portarying it as all white) so its a moot point anyway. Like arguing we need more black Football Players.

Honestly with advanced drone technology and autonomous vehicles the military use they don’t need live bodies.. the US don’t fight conventional wars anymore.. A couple of air strikes to strategic locations on the enemy and they waving the white flag

Whats c00nish about this statement?
You a c00n ass c00n
what do you think the bare minimum for sustainment is
this is the biggest volunteer military in the world with some of the highest standards on top of that. if they were in dire straits to increase manpower, the response would be as insignificant as extending tri-care benefits and letting one fewer pushup slide lol
all this "we need people" talk is wholly dismissive of the largest drawdown in US military history before the afghanistan withdrawal even started. the context is always missing.
i know people who failed out of basic that are working with a better deck than college students. straight up
and then we got people who throw c00n around in response to completely neutral information being offered
You a c00n ass c00n
To be frank I don’t think spending more money on the military than the populace helped at all. It’s probably tons of people who see those budget sheets and don’t want to contribute to that. I wouldn’t be surprised if shrinking the force to shrink the budget is some peoples intentions.

If I knew then what I knew now I would be on my 15th year of service being a few years from retirement working on getting 100% disability. But hindsight is 20/20. Instead of only having 4 years of service and just now hoping to get at least 30%.

To the vets, thanks for weighing in.
In addition to the other social barriers we face, our communities generally don't have access to solid career counseling when we are young men. To explain what options are open to us. Not from a recruiter, in this case, but a neutral 3rd party who can answer questions and doesn't have a financial stake in the decision.
I said the same thing in the thread about for-profit colleges.
Full options, where to enlist based on interests, aptitude, rotc option, etc.etc
Young men don't have knowledgeable people in their circles or communities to give them information that's relevant to what they want to do with their lives, so they can weigh their options.

25% of people under 25 are interested in joining the military
That's a pretty large number.

I kind of fall in this category my dad was deployed around that time period when I was signing up for the military and I didn't really take the time to consult with him before signing anything so I ended up joining a job I didn't want cause (Security Forces) a recruiter said it was easy to cross train and I took what they said at face value.
