Americans Reject Endless War — Market Mad House

The American people reject endless war, even though political leaders on both sides of the aisle love continuous warfare.

To clarify, the United States Army is having a hard time finding cannon fodder for the Washington elites never-ending wars. In fact, the U.S. Army had to reduce its 2018 recruiting goals twice to proclaim its recruiting objectives “successful.”

The Army initially planned to recruit 80,000 young Americans in 2018; but only 70,000 recruits signed up, The Federal News Network reports. Thus, the Army missed its 2018 recruiting goal by 10,000. However, the Army tried to spin the failure by reducing the recruiting goal to 76,400 but missed that mark too.

US Army Recruiting Fails

The number of Army recruits fell by 2,000 in Fiscal Year 2019, the Army itself admits. To explain, the Army only recruited 68,000 would-be soldiers in Fiscal Year 2019.

However, the Army achieved its “2019 recruiting goals” by lowering the recruiting target number. To clarify, the Army’s 2019 Fiscal Year ran from September 2018 to September 2019. Not even marketing strategies such as “virtual recruiting stations” on Social Media and an Army Esports Team could entice young Americans to sign up.
