How many years did you serve? Because this is not a problem I saw in twenty years in uniform.

  Ya I would assume those already recruited into the military have a warrior mentality. But the article is talking about recruiting first from the general public. American men have very much feminized over the past 50 years. I remember back how the high school seniors at my school in 2002 had mustaches, were smoking cigarettes, they looked like full grown men. Something has changed. I think a social premium on safety also results in a poorer recruiting class in the U.S.

    If it's fifty years of feminization, and seniors 22 years ago had mustaches and were smoking cigarettes, just think what us knuckle-draggers were doing in the class of 1973. (Only a few guys smoked cigarettes, and apart from one beard-growing contest one year, facial hair was not permitted.)
