About 77% of young Americans are ineligible for unrestricted military service.
Oku.Az This was stated by Kathy Helland, director of Military Recruiting Policy at the United States Department of Defense, at a press conference for journalists.
“According to the information we have, approximately 77% of young people between 17 and 24 years old are not suitable for military service without restrictions,” he said.
Helland added that most young Americans have no interest in military service.
“Many young people are not interested in military service and have misconceptions about what military life is like. Furthermore, it is the first time in the period that these indicators have been determined that the majority of young people do not even consider military service as an option for their future,” he said.
