From Politico:

Public confidence in the U.S. military continues to decline, reaching its lowest point in over two decades, according to a new poll.

Only 60 percent of Americans expressed “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the military in a recent Gallup poll conducted from June 1 to 22. That’s down from 64 percent who said the same last year.

In recent days Biden has begun attacking Republicans, chastising them for failing to support the military. He called out Senators Cruz and Hawley by name for criticizing “wokeness” in the military.

This is a problem that Biden really can’t solve. As the perception developed that progressives have taken over the top brass in the military, the most important cohort for military recruiting — existing military families — has been pulling away from the U.S. military as an institution.
