Wow! A scathing report via a survey of 2,300 active-duty troops - from Military Times, no less - indicates the nation is failing its troops and veterans. This is a must read!
1. Morale indicators are declining in nearly every aspect of military life: lower overall job satisfaction, diminished respect for their superiors, and a declining interest in re-enlistment now compared to just five years ago.
2. Civilian support is subsiding as bonuses, pay raises and combat incentives are all fading away. Troops anticipate that it will get worse, not better.
3. Disappointment with the healthcare system - which is a HUGE perk to joining the military - continues to surge, with a majority saying they'd rather receive care at privately run facilities.
RallyPoint team, does this survey accurately portray the perspective of our active duty force?

Col Michael Grubbs Hopefully it won't get to a point where it'll be hollowed out. Here's a good report from a couple years back about and past downsizes.
