Almost everyone I know that went into the military did it for the experience and to be able to go to college. That was when people believed a college degree would set you up for a stable future. Now that millennials know this isn’t true and we’re not lying to gen Z, they sure as shit don’t believe it either.

The military should add to its incentives. If the military could for example, build you a modest home then I’m sure people would start joining again.
