Greg Jaffe: Fighting the Military Recruitment Crisis
Manage episode 437201883 series 3548891
Across the United States, military recruiters from all branches are facing one of the most challenging periods in the history of the all-volunteer force, as they struggle to find qualified and willing young Americans to join their ranks. Greg Jaffe from The Washington Post shares how this recruitment crisis reflects broader changes in American society, from declining trust in institutions to shifting demographics and evolving perceptions of national service.
