A new survey released on Thursday found that a majority of Americans would not advise their family to join the military, in an historic shift away from the military once being a universally-loved institution in the United States.

As reported by the Daily Caller, the poll from YouGov found that only 37% of respondents would actively encourage family members to join the military, while 63% would advise against it. Of those 63%, 57% said their reasoning was that it would be “too dangerous.”

Another 45% pointed to the “failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan” as their reasoning, while 28% cited “too many deployments.” And 22% said that the military has been overtaken by “political correctness,” with 41% saying that they did not trust the military itself.

The sentiment on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has been reflected in prior polls. A Pew Research survey in 2018 found that a majority of Americans believe that the Iraq War was a failure, while 50% of respondents in a Gallup poll in 2022 felt that the Afghanistan War was a failure.

Many branches of the military have been struggling with recruitment for several years now, which has been attributed to several major factors. Chief among them is the mass expulsion of service members who refused to take the vaccine for the Chinese Coronavirus after the Biden-Harris Administration mandated that such vaccines be taken. Additionally, the military under Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has placed a greater emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, prioritizing minorities and women over straight White men who compose the overwhelming majority of the military’s ranks.

The YouGov poll was conducted from July 18th to July 24th, with a sample size of 1,000 American adults.
