I come from a military family going back generations (mainly enlisted but 1 or 2 officers) and every single one that is still living would say they would not recommend anyone join today. Even a decade ago they would have never thought they'd ever be telling someone that.
Used to consider joining, myself. Course college got in the way, much to my apparent benefit, sadly. I would never in a million years join it in its current state.
Well, maybe if we happened to go to war with China. Maybe. And that's less being pro-US than me being anti-communist. Course we all know how easy it is to talk big on the internet so who knows.
I feel a deep sadness about not carrying on the tradition. We went all the way back to the American Revolution.
