Despite a barrage of hefty bonuses, loosened and more progressive enlistment requirements, and even the creation of innovative pre-boot camp programs, the U.S. military mostly fell short in efforts to bring more Americans into the services over the past year -- and it's unclear how or when that will change.

Everyone's fat bc of horrible processed foods, sedentary lifestyle, depression, overwork, poverty, and stress. Everyone's cardiovascular system is riddled with covid. Everyone's mentally ill for the say reason we're all fat. Everyone's on weed. And no one has much faith left in the government. Plus based zoomers. Another example of capitalist autocannibalism at work. It's created conditions so bad that the state can't produce enough soldiers to man the empire.
that happened just before the end of the british empire too except then people were too thin because they were all on the verge of starvation. What really did in the British empire was when the British workforce became too malnutritioned to work on the level of their better fed American and German counterparts and thus the empires single remaining source of revenue dried up (by that point everything India had that could be easily stolen had been and people don't account for how expensive militarily occupying hundreds of millions of people is)
