Looking at what Americans in uniform are prepared to do to fellow citizens, it is no wonder that there is a rising recruitment crisis there In Australia too, where ADF numbers are down, why should young Australians want to put their arse on the line for America's obsession with China? - ThreadSky

In Australia too, where ADF numbers are down, why should young Australians want to put their arse on the line for America's obsession with China?

Also the highest commands in the ADF are corrupt & incompetent. Going to war should be up to parliament, not a short term rockstar or any singular persons decision

Who wants to be sent off to possibly get killed in an unjustified war to protect fossil fuel companies profits?

Exactly. These wars are always for the unhinged rich bastards of the world.

Gen z saw their father, uncle, aunt, cousin, mother come home broken to a broken system that didn't meet the demands of their care and to a nation that saw their efforts come to nothing! Gen z does not want nor need to buy into that system

Gen z don't want to be killed in a pointless war

Most people would prefer not to dredge up the hate required to kill.

May I ask the source of your screen grab?

I subscribe to Crikey and receive a daily email summary

I don't always link to Crikey news articles because they are behind a paywall but the summary provides the gist I want to feature

There is also the way they treat them. Experimental drugs, toxic chems (F111 maintenance), toxic leadership that will throw inferiors under a bus, and finally being treated like shit as a veteran.
All for dubious US wars, not defence of the nation.

Good. They spend too much on the military.

Why would anyone join an organisation which only uses you as murder fodder for billionaire petro dollar enthusiasts,or have you arrest your girlfriend at a taco stand.
