So, essentially, you are admitting that your personal religious views are being impressed upon your recruits? Nice.
As for where I got my information about low enrollment, it’s basically been reported by every news outlet for the last few years. Military enrollment is at an all time low. They are now offering waivers for prior criminal convictions like possession of marijuana, waivers for former mental health treatment, as well as lowering requirements like high school diplomas instead of GED’s. I’m honestly rather shocked you are in the military and haven’t heard that you have the lowest recruitment numbers in decades. Apparently, they are so hard up that if you quit and re-enlist you can get a $90,000 pay bonus.
A couple of recent news articles are below. I’ve included a variety of sources to avoid accusations of #fakenews.
