America facing a military recruiting crisis

- America's military faces a recruiting crisis, with three of the five branches failing to meet their manpower goals this year. Big bonuses, loosened enlistment requirements, and new advertising slogans did not push the services out of their slumps and lawmakers want answers. Mike Gooding has the latest from Capitol Hill.

As a veteran, I do NOT recommend joining the military at all.
Too bad joining anyways.
@@kravkik7930yup
@@kravkik7930Lol idiot
Good for you young man!! It's what you make of it.. Joined the Navy myself a few months after high school graduation. College or University isn't for everyone. Desert Shield/Storm veteran here as well. Got out as an E4, stayed that way after active duty and went to the Reserves a few years before my contract ran out. It helped me out in the long run when I joined the fire department, almost a few decades on the job now. Keep your eyes open, your mouth shut and your nose clean. Good luck!@@kravkik7930
@@kravkik7930you will be a slave for the government. Speaking from experience. Not worth it
I'll defend my country with my life, but Im not dying for the Koch brothers or Bill Gates.
lol bill gates and the koch brothers😂😂😂 they have nothing to do with us foreign policy. Crazy how stuff like this that would make everyone within a 100ft radius laugh at you for the rest of the day 10 years ago is to a degree normal now. Being stupid is just normal now iq points have been dropping every decade the results are showing.
Nobody wants to be a part of invading countries for American "freedom"..
Biden?
I'd sooner defend R ussia and Israel before I defend the nation of dr ag qu een st ory hour.
I think if things got bad enough you would fight to keep our country safe and not care about Bill gates.
Word is out: join and get crapped on.
Well if you're white, you get crapped on. If you're brown, you probably get promoted.

@@FadeHook23 not any more.

I would not encourage any young person to join the military or police. Why risk everything for a bunch of ungrateful politicians and activist who hate you!! Stay home and protect your loved ones. We are all on our own!!!
I would risk my life to help an ally though and the people of another country... Id be willing to sacrifice for countries like South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Poland, Finland, Estonia, Romania and Taiwan 🇺🇲 We have obligations that our "leaders" truthfully have taken advantage of....
@@kingkoi6542 I’m talking about joining the US military not joining with some other country to fight for them
@@kingkoi6542 Wow. The thing is, we did sacrifice for South Korea and they've been pretty ungrateful. Maybe you should rethink several of those. I'd want to help the European ones though.
@@mikewilkins4126 I believe the free people of South Korea are grateful, and that's enough for me. We certainly shouldn't be breaking our backs for people who don't carry their own weight like many European countries... But South Korea still holds as a strong bastion against Communism the same goes for Thailand and Taiwan.
@@kingkoi6542 Which European countries are you talking about? The ones that have let in millions of brown "refugees"? If the nations you mentioned are grateful, should they not reciprocate this? Just something to think about.
I’m shocked the “my two moms” recruitment drive didn’t work.
Or maybe no one wants to fight useless/endless wars cause people like you gave up our rights cause you were scared of Moo-Slims.
@@dasse8717Learn to spell please, also learn the futile concepts of the non-sequitur and finally try to understand the reductio ad absurdum logical fallacy.
In short, you’re an idiot and you’re also prejudiced.
Go away bigot.
I know it, I thought as soon as I saw it for the first time it was sure to get people fighting to be first in line at their local Army Recruitment Stations.
@@benjaminbowman1276
weird isn’t it, why weren’t the recruitment offices queued round the block with emma&2moms-esque identifying people?
What’s really needed is all women and minority shortlists for all future service positions, including all front line troops.
There is such a shocking overfill of white males in these roles.
And with WW3 on the horizon we need all the diversity we can get in the more face to face roles.
🤣 👍
Yea no one wants to go to war for a military industrial complex. All of my brothers including myself have been telling everyone not to enlist.
Same here. The way the global war is going on these poor kids could be shipped into wwi style trenches at any week.
Easier access to that information makes all the difference. People are more aware of the military industrial complex than ever
@@breadstick4458 only took them 70 years
I dunno I think it's our obligation to help allies in Asia. South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan are countries I would fight for 🇺🇲 but our country isn't looking the best that's an unfortunate truth...
But in the end, it seems all the worlds militaries are at the bidding of 🇮🇱
Good, this country isn't worth fighting for.

Not since Biden and the democRATS took over
Never was.

Why fight for politicians who want you to own nothing and be happy about it?
Yep, why fight for a old man that looks like a bond villain and wants you to eat bugs.
Former 11B, 2-28 black lions, served in Pakita Afghanistan from 2011-2012
Do NOT join, you are not fighting for any honorable principle such as freedom or honor or any other vague concept, you are fodder for Black Rock Vanguard and Boeing. A pawn for the pocketbook of politicians.
Stay at home to defend your family, our enemies are within our nation in the forms of politicians and elites, not other nations
Not to mention that getting your VA benefits can be like pulling teeth. Taking care of vets is a big hassle, but sending money to Ukraine is a no brainer. Disgusting.
Facts!!
As a veteran, I’d suggest using the illegal immigrant that seem to matter more than the American people!
That's probably where this is going.
Fun Fact: American citizenship isn’t required to enlist.
I’m sure u served alongside plenty of individuals who were grateful for assistance applying for citizenship.
Try again.
@@BusinessBox13he never said they couldn’t. He’s saying use them. We real Americans have done enough for this country. Time for people who’ve done nothing for it to earn their place
@@BusinessBox13this wasn’t the gotcha you thought it was, you unfortunately argued against a point he didn’t make. Silly really.
created by you Americans invading and meddling with their countries. How poetic.
I choose prison, instead of dying for the oil companies.
I'm pretty sure you use oil everyday.
It's not just the oil. It's the corporate elite. We don't even have a country since a country has to have borders.
@@scottowensbyableThat justifies killing 1 million Iraqis?
Wow!!!!!!
oil companies have nothing to do with the US Military. I am not sure what you mean.
Guys, it's not worth serving. It won't make you a badass, it's not worth it, and don't listen to the "It's your country" because it's not. It's an economic zone, you don't matter.
At one point in recent American history, that wasn't true. There was pride and honor in serving. Now, though? Nah. It's not badass to sacrifice yourself for modern ideology for a political machine that actively hates you.
Can't find affordable housing, a good job, normal people, or decent food in this country. Joining the military would just add to so many uncontrollable problems. Nobody can trust they won't be abused or patronized by joining the military, since this is what is most likely to happen. God forbid anyone see that you care or want to do good, people here are conditioned to destroying those trying to do this. To preserve my self-respect, I'm moving back to Europe; at least I can afford a basic apartment and be more relaxed around people like me. I had to experience America... at least I got to see her in her Twighlight.
You are so lucky you can afford to go back. My family has been here since the 1500s I wish I could go back to my real country.
Seems like the use of preferred gender pronouns is more important than the training. Nobody wants to join a WOKE military.
There is no normal
Well I already served but I did a similar thing and moved to Cyprus. For half of what a house costs in the USA; I have a Villa and a guest house and I can see the most beautiful beach in the world from my living room. I didn't have kids so what's the big deal? I'll just ride my ducati until I croak or the Turks decide they want the rest of the island.
Every empire has to end sometime. 🤷
How dare you refuse to protect the interests of Blackrock and Lockheed Martin?
They risk their lives for our country but their pay is stopped when an agreement is not made on a budget, however, the very ones who won't come to an agreement, get their paychecks as usual. One man is allowed block several military promotions, congress is allowed to vote on their own pay increases... the list goes on..
Our military does not get the respect and high regard (regardless of rank) they deserve.
It's not just one political party, it's ALL of them! Who wants to fight for a country whose government doesn't seem to have your back?
They are bums that don't demand better of their direct chain of command. For every 1 good service man there are a 1,000 bums that shouldn't even be there.
Your military only protects your military industrial complex and oil companies nothing else
It's not this what they say no one dying for corporate money or political war so they can make millions just like the Vietnam war that was a waste of life and soldiers my dad was in that and money or dead soldier but there more too it
No one wants to join a WOKE military. I myself wouldn’t want to join a military where the use of gender pronouns was more important than our training
@@contemplatinghistory Ok edgelord

@@FadeHook23is that how it works? All I remember growing up is my dad getting 900 dollars a month back in the early 2000s as a Sergeant to raise my sister and I. We lived paycheck to paycheck for about a decade I think.

Don’t try calling me up in a war that you need nurses !
Same here, tried to join:
Marines: denied waiver
Army: denied waiver, have to get expensive private screening.
Navy(to avoid the expensive screening): denied waiver, still need to get expensive screening
Time wasted so far: 1.5 years (wait 1 month to get waiver denied over and over).
All with above a 90 on the asvab and good physical.
Get rid of mhs genesis and lower medical history standards and the recruiting crisis will dissappear. People should not be denied waivers when they can pass the physical and asvab with flying colors.

@trevorbeaverfan most likely. During that time people was drafted.

Uncle Sam loves and wants you when you're whole. When you're broken and messed up, you're forgotten out the street with your claims denied.
Increase the salary of soldiers. It’s crazy how professional athletes who play sports for entertainment get paid more than people who are putting their lives on the line on a regular basis.
Maybe we don't want to fight endless wars for Israel and be treated worse than General Eisenhower treating POWs during WW2.

They have enough people in the military. Just bring them home to defend the homeland. What are we doing in Asia , Europe, Africa?
they are there to defend the homeland and its allies lol. all of those continents have enemies that want o destroy the US or it has allies that provides resources to US.

Im not black, gay or trans so I don't see any advancement potential
The Military recruiting crisis has many different causes, No. 1 on my list is abuse of the junior enlisted. Fort Cavazos is the worst post. Extreme politics dominate this post from the civilian workers to the military. This has caused the post to have the highest suicide rate in the Army. The Marine Corp has a 34.9 per 100,000. This is due to poor leadership and poor command climates. This is why we as veterans say no to our younger generation. Stay away to protect your personal safety and mental health. Until the political culture shifts Don't send your daughters and sons to be abused and used for someone else's gain!
DO NOT JOIN!!! i did 6 years and the VA loan was the only benefit
Pay lower enlisted more that's one way to solve this!!! Not bonuses more for them to live every month more base pay!!!! Why on earth would anyone want to join if they aren't even making minimum wage each month?
They get benefits, minimum wage you get nothing but pay
Money won't help. The US military is a losing team led by losers. The first step to getting any better is admitting self serving dirt bags are currently in charge of the US military. Corrupt, obese, Lloyd Austin comes to mind. No honest purpose means no honor.
@@George-zd6rbbeen in 5 years my friend, 10 months to ETS. Idk what benefits the common consensus believes because I haven’t been given anything in the form of “benefits”.

When I was in the DEP program waiting to ship out my recruiter rejected 3 young people who tried to join. One because he had a GED & was a bit over weight, one because she was a bit overweight and the final one because he had Aspergers syndrome. They turned away people who they could probably worked with(build them) now we have a recruiting crisis and I bet they wish they could take those they rejected.
Yep, I made it all the way to basic, but my recruiter told me to keep my mouth shut about everything. Get pulled aside just to find out I was listed as possible Asperger’s. Gave me an erroneous entry all because he didn’t want to do paperwork.
Edit: pulled aside in medical because I was a Tricare dependent my entire life.
@@tannerheekin9605 Lol they were able to pull your medical records? Something doesn't add up. Tricare or not.
@@jesterapp if your parents were military and you were on Tricare they can easily pull up your medical records. When signing up you sign an agreement to disclose your medical records to the DOD. How it worked when I was going in(2015) is you just didn't say anything about disqualifying conditions and they wouldn't look for it. I lied about asthma, served seven years and got an honorable discharge. With Tricare medical records it's literally a click of a computer mouse and they got you, private medical records take effort for them to get.
@@jesterapp does the military have the ability to figure out things you do not tell them, I'm getting conflicting answers on this
@@theshadowsniper1085 For your criminal history they can pull anything up. Sealed/unsealed whatever. They CANNOT pull your medical stuff. GO AHEAD AND LIE ABOUT IT!

Not dying for invaders
Not dying for my replacement.

No one wants to serve under a weak president period!
Really don’t think he has much to do with it
Ya and woke mark milley
Who would of figured that no one would want to defend America when they changed the fabric of America so much in just the past 10 years 😂😂😂
Americans are choosing other jobs. $24,206.40 starting salary is pathetic.

My wife and I were homeless on active duty on conus duty along with several other service members just a few years ago, in the state of Maine. I was asked why i was throwing away 15 years of service and not reenlisting and did my best to not laugh at the question. I discourage everyone from serving such a joke of an administration.
you’ll be left with life long ailments and mental health issues that will impact you and your loved ones permanently.
War is a racket --read the book ☮️
I tried enlisting @22, but the recruiter wanted me to drop 15 lbs overnight. And pigs can fly.
Haha I had to do the Same at 19. I lost 30 pounds in 2 months and they wouldn’t send me to meps until I lost another 20 pounds. Never went back again after that interaction
Edit for clarification when I lost the 30 pounds I made tape but my recruiter wasn’t willing to “take a chance”
@@tannerheekin9605 My recruiter thought he was my CO.
I joined in '08 and I was overweight when I first stepped into the recruiters. They had a "Future soldiers" program. Basically I went to the recruiting station and did PT until I met the Height and Weight standards. Then they shipped me off to OSUT as an E3. I loved my recruiters man!
@@jesterapp Sounds like someone lucked out. The recruiter I dealt with showed up at my residence unannounced, and gave me a copy of the Kansas City Football Diet. It consisted of 3 hard-boiled eggs, with tomatoes or spinach, with coffee or tea, 3 times a day, and lose 20 lbs in 2 weeks. All that would do, is mount me on the throne for 2 weeks.
Paid for by the Big Farm corporations.@@danielcarlson800
We've all seen the movies where the veterans come back tormented and screwed up. 20 veterans unalive themselves every day.
I am a 20 year army veteran and I told my grand daughter not to join when she asked about it
Take care of our veterans and active members first and stop getting involved in pointless wars that’s a start
5 years was punishment enough. I've had enough of the Army to last a lifetime.
Lmao the space force met its goal of three people.
Smallest branch, Not surprising they've completed their goal.
go draft the wokes to serve
My dream was to be a Marine and i literally got medically denied over literal BS!!! They said I couldn’t joined because I had medical problems that they found on my medical record but I never been diagnosed with any of them. I fought for an entire year going to doctors all over my state and they still denied me. Absolutely waste of time and I don’t have any respect for them anymore. They let all these over weight 5’5” nerds in but I’m tall and I’ve been running track/field my entire life and they don’t choose me and I got a good ASVAB score and everything. Ridiculous
The Corps has gone WOKE...F**k the Corps.....
People have tried to join but keep getting rejected for stupid stuff.
Solution is offer free subsistence and citizenship to unfettered illegal immigrants.
Genius. Hiring foreign mercenary armies has never been a historically bad idea.
When I graduated high school in ‘02 I thought about joining the Air Force or follow my dad’s footsteps and join the navy but he convinced me to go to school instead. Now seeing what’s been going on the past two decades I understand why.
My dad wished he never dropped out of high school and joined the Marines but he could of died in Desert Storm or came back with mental health issues.
I’ll suit up when Congress and Biden do so as well
Man it smells very drafty lately!
1900 soldiers that were released due to not taking the clot shot. Now they want them back. Yeah, no.
Who would want to serve under Sleepy Joe? No one.
Spent 27 years active duty Army. Afghanistan, Iraq and Bosnia. No regrets. That was prior to the current administration. All must remember one very big concept that will always apply: The military is a graphic representation of the the Country and it's leadership. That said... No way on Earth would I recommend anyone enlist in today's armed forces. Poorly led. Disenfranchised. Low Morale. Woke. Patriotism is near absent in America. So why would any mother or farther or veteran persuade their loved ones to serve. NO WAY!
Geeese, I WONDER WHY? 😂. Go woke, go broke. 😊
Only old people say this. Over 70% of young Americans are ineligible to serve without a waiver.

All-volunteer professional militaries eventually become extensions of the political bureaucracy. The line between the military and the federal government has been slowly blurring for 50 years now, and now the two are virtually indistinguishable. People will only fight for what gives them pride and purpose, and there's little of both to be found in the military and the government it is sworn to protect.
Every veteran told me not to join, thanks Mr. Hernandez 😊
Give more bonuses
Useless, the government can take it away at anytime. It's already happening. No one trusts the government.
They need to create an American foreign legion tons of foreigners and migrants that want to work and serve in the military
Tell the lawmakers that Donald Trump will solve the issue on day one
To retain military personnel, they should now be considered full, federal employees, with the same benefits & fed.
grades! They should get 'overtime' or 'comp time' for any work past 40 hours a week! They, like any other federal
employee, should become 'vested', after 10 yrs. of service & eligible for a partial pension, at retirement age! Until
now, service personnel were considered little more than "indentured servants"! This practice must end, to retain them!
Your not fighting for your country your fighting for the rich not even rich Americans just rich in general
"If an attack is coming, we will warn you, it won't be a surprise"
Huh, shocking that the head of the Joint Chief of Staff openly admitting to treason, and then not being punished for it doesn't inspire confidence.
ESG Equity gang not joining in thousands
The military is still very big compared to most countries still. A lot of people are just wising up
I’ll give my life to this Country, not to the woke agenda.
Don’t forget why it’s failing? You send them sane but bring them back disabled and insane with no assistance back home
When the military has forced DEI training and not enough money for combat training and advancement based on race, gender and identity and not competence and capability and acheivement-I would not allow my kids to join!
Good
Military recruiters by population get most of the recruits from Georgia Florida South Carolina North Carolina in Virginia. The modern world culture does not appeal to the southern ethos and so why should we join
Easy pay lower enlisted more and allow marijuana use!!!!!
This can basically be summed up as "The consequences of my own actions"
I'm just not woke enough to join... Sorry
Cons outweigh the pros for joining.

You reap what you sow by recruiting only LGBTQIA2+ and betraying those in your ranks
How are they solely recruiting lgbtq when they account for so little of the population. Gosh y’all are obsessed and delusional. They need gen z to join and they don’t want to join not because of your guys made up reasons. They don’t wanna join cause they don’t wanna die, they don’t wanna kill for this country, and aren’t as patriotic as you guys.

"USMC should hault recruitment for 30 months. Too many "I want join USMC because I like the uniforms" are joining." -
My father was a WWII and Korean war veteran three bronze stars later retired Oct 1964 he never talked about those wars I only found out when he passed away and I requested his service records. He was one of many of the greatest generation lived thru the depression they did want a hand out just a job and then went to the recruiting stations in droves saying " Where do I sign up. " pride in themselves and love of country that is what got them thru fours years of war. Shame today U.S. armed forces cant even fill their recruiting requirements the selfish has replaced the selfless.

No military equals no war. It’s a good first step you know it works just the same as gun control protects you from dangerous criminals. It’s common sense community safety. Isn’t that what we are supposed to teach them?
Wow. Okay. No military equals no war? Okay...I imagine all other world militaries will instantly abandon their own militaries then. Universally. War solved. No legal gun ownership? Okay...why is Chicago rampant with gun crime despite having some of the toughest gun laws in the country.
No, seriously. Are you five years old or something? Jesus Christ. Public education.
I know why they never give what they promise when it comes to renlist or to enlist. I Say hire private companies to give out benefitd and file for benefits our "battle buddies" all suck at their job and submit paper work late, or dont submit it at all delaying our bonuses, pay, student loan reapayment , and more. Thats why I went AWOL going to drill I was losing money rather than making they put me and others over 80 miles away no proper sleeping quarters and only fed us lunch. IM GLAD THAT LESS ARE JOINING. trust me dont join you can earn more at a civilian job working OT or even getting a second job with the amount of hours they make you work. Having so much love for your country only goes so far when the money you make their isnt enough to take care of yourself or causes you to lose money. Sorry for any typos typing fast with big hands on a small phone isnt the best.
We can't have national defense without a nation. Lloyd Austin and CQ Brown fail to recognize that fact.
You do not have a country without borders or a government that does not follow the constitution
Officers make double than enlisted which is stupid.
Nothing brings me more joy than seeing Rick Scott worry about the future in real time. Pos
❤❤😮❤❤ nope that is just more power perverted by officers over the lives of the hero whom joined the military to defend the USA. The answer is if a number let say 3 recruits fail then the officer gets a strike against him when he get 3 strikes he is brought up for his failure to lead. Which is his position mission. Get rid of these abusers and non leaders ... ❤😮❤
