Younger vets unhappy with federal program cuts, classified information leaks; most are losing confidence in US long-term national security under Trump

[Bowlmania]

Highlights of the survey:

• Negative responses in the survey cut across political lines
• 86% said those involved in the Signal debacle should be held accountable. That includes 76% of vets who identified as Republicans
• 42% said they are less likely to recommend military service to a friend or family member than they were a year ago.
• Almost half said they would discourage potential recruits from joining.

Unbelievable.

Helluva job, Trump/Musk and Hegseth.

It was trending up for months, including before the election. It’s always primarily economy related.

I’d be more inclined with Pete and the new regime than the goofy trans dei shit. This regime has to be way more appealing to normal young men. Trump and Pete and Joe Rogen and ufc

Good post and info

I like those February numbers, particularly as they relate to the Army and Navy. That said, the recent survey I cited speaks for itself, and it follows Trump’s Oval Office meltdown on February 28 and the Signal-gate debacle.

The looming Trump-cession may help military recruitment, as unemployment and inflation hammer the young job-seekers.
SO

LOSING!

Surveys are cute, but I stick with hard data when available. So far they've done a good job with recruitment, which is a good thing. Kudos to them.
