When civilian unemployment is at an all-time low, the Military becomes a less attractive alternative.

Its the economy stupid. Even the leftwing propaganda machines says so.
As Economy Roars, Army Falls Thousands Short of Recruiting Goals
Bad economy makes for more military recruits
A Weak Economy Is Good For Military Recruiting

have you been in the military???!!!!!!!
you have to do a lot of physical activity
ungodly hours
have to do what others tell you--not at all like a civilian job
you have a lot of obese Americans that don't want to and CAN'T join
obesity is up

• Overall, men and women with college degrees had lower obesity prevalence compared with those with less education.

...the USMC does not have nearly the man power--about one fourth of the Army, so it's easier to get the quota
..the USMC is seen as more of an elite force also
..the AF has better/more technical/etc MOSs-''jobs''--
...the Navy has some boring/etc jobs--but also more technical/better/etc ''jobs''
..the Army has more grunt ''jobs''--''boring''/infantry/etc

When the military went gay, they were told this would happen.

The Marine Corp is not an elite force, but they do have units that fill those rolls just like all the other branches. I was Army and installed/trouble shot networks. For every Infantryman there is a buttload of support personnel.

Tough to get enough when we are in an never ending war in the Middle East.............

Kinda hurts recruitment........derp

Not wrong.

The recruitment fell short for the first time since 2005. We've had low unemployment for 5 years now.

That's not the reason.

Try harder.
