  1. My experience is that it is not the experience IN Iraq and Afghanistan that puts parents off from encouraging their children to join. Rather it is largely the post conflict results that discourages them. Both Iraq and Afghanistan suffered from the post fall of Saigon syndrome. I first put on a uniform in 1982 and MIGHT not have joined during a second Carter administration. Giving up on South Vietnam coupled with Desert One was NOT a great advertising point. Today, no one in uniform trusts the current administration to use the military to do anything like fight an actual war. But we do expect to see a steady drumbeat of woke policies enacted by weak leaders. You want to fight for that?
