As branches of the United States military are offering sweeter enlistment and re-enlistment bonuses, they are simultaneously lowering standards. Experts say this practice “diminishes our readiness as a force” and “we will end up suffering horrific failure or a series of failures before the services are willing to recognize this trend and move against it.”
As recruitment numbers continue to suffer in the aftermath of the CCP virus, the United States Army is offering a historic $50,000 enlistment bonus to what they describe as “highly qualified” recruits who sign up for at least six years. The previous record was a $40,000 incentive for selecting infantry and up to $65,000 in student loan reimbursement for certain occupations was offered in 2019 during the Obama presidency.
