They don't see a single cause to the recruiting problem, but pointed to a confluence of issues for Army recruiting, including partisan scrutiny of the service, a growing obesity epidemic and an underfunded public education system.

Deliberately wrong on all counts.

Underfunded public education system is the biggest joke of all. Local government just loves throwing millions of taxpayer dollars at government indoctrination centers year after year. My local district (small-ish town in red state) has a budget of 200 million dollars.

Yeah they're so full of shit.

Muh undeserved communities get more tax dollars than anyone. They suck at life because they make poor choices and have low IQs, and no amount of handouts will change that.

And specifically about public education, there's a long track record that proves that bigger budgets don't lead to better outcomes.

Ex Army here. If you want I can tell you but it's probably going to make you mad.

If they really wanted to know why White men aren't joining the army, all they have to do is read the youtube comments under the latest recruiting video.

I found that funniest of all since the "join the army to get an education" is a bit of a trope, or "Kansas boys only join because they have no other opportunity"

Are they implying that the more education you have the more likely you are to join the army?
