https:// www.wearethemighty.com /military-news/the-2024-us-military-recruiting-crisis/ In 2024, the US Army will be the smallest since World War II.
In other words the US has had a larger military than it had in WWII for every year since WWII for some fucking reason.
29On the off chance a lib wanders by, here’s the reason: empire
18The US hasn't, this article is either lying or chose their words poorly.
Population growth? An army will proportionally increase in size relative to the population.
In 1945 the US population would have been 139,928,165 people, with the US military at 16,000,000.
Today the population is 336.58 million people, with 1.6 million in the military.

YESSSSSS LET'S GO, AMERIKKKAN CENTURY OF HUMILIATION
21Lmfao the Marines about to be just "the few" 😂
17these articles are so crazy, DOOM for the [largest professional military on earth] because of missing a recruitment goal by a rounding error amount. if these people actually need bodies they'll just do a draft, but they'd rather not because it'd mess with the ideological purity and quality
15This is blatantly wrong, the US military at its peak in WW2 numbered 16,000,000 (16 million) personnel.
In 2023 there are 1,600,000 (1.6 million) personnel. The US military has been below WW2 mobilization numbers for decades, its impossible to keep that number of people mobilized.
What is this article talking about?????
