I wonder how much of is real and how much of it is them cooking the books though. I'm willing to believe that there was a real increase especially early on (like the first 6 months of 2025), but raising the enlistment age and making moral waivers easier isn't how the military behaves when it's meeting recruiting targets.
Well, of course they would. Just like they claim the USS Gerald Ford was decommissioned for TWO WEEKS due to a "small contained laundry fire" and NOT at all because it ate an Iranian missile. 🙄
They're saying enlistment has increased enormously, already beating annual targets.
