Several studies show when national unemployment is high more folks join the military.

Exactly. Serving in army is just another job.

The Taliban would disagree.

No, they wouldn't. They experienced it. Your anti American crapola gets really
annoying at times.

Declining enlistment can also be attributed to a direct erosion of confidence in our commander-in-chief (especially after the disastrous pull-out from Afghanistan in 2021).
