The US Army was 25% short, while all the other branches had to dip into delayed-entry recruits to make their goals for this cycle.
Active duty military fell to 1.347m in 2020 from 1.388m in 2019.
In 2021 we're down to 1.195m, a year over year decline of 11.3% and 13.9% from 2019.
Look at this fearsome lot. These supposedly still meet US Army standards.
I'm sure our enemies tremble with fear.
