How much longer can the US military keep lowering its standards to meet quotas?

Right around the time I got out of the army, an NCO of mine and I were talking about this. She talked about how the military is letting in people they really should not be letting in just to get the bare minumum. You could get in before with a small criminal background, but now you can get with in with a larger one. That’s the problem. We have an all-volunteer military in an unpopular war. Not enough people are joining up. It’s not just enlistment, but re-enlistment. People in are getting out because they’ve done multiple tours in Iraq, and they’re sick of going and don’t want to go back. A lot of the bad stuff coming from troops in Iraq is from troops who before the Iraq War would not have been let in. Can the US military really keep this up?

Is encouraging youths to seek alternatives to the Military a good project to start?

Such as I will join a group that offers alternatives to the military, I may branch off and do my own thing. I want to enourage 10,000 youths to seek an alternative to the Military, then my mission is complete. Ultimately, the Military will improve, and people will be generally less unhappy. Honestly the military is not a jobs program and doesn’t help people get a job after a 4 to 6 years enlistment. It gives general work experiance, but that is about it. The qualifications do not necessarly translate well or cross over into the civilian sector in mot cases. The GI Bill isn’t what it is cracked-up to be, neither is T.A. Recruiters LIE, someone needs to save these people from these predators.
