National Security & Defense

Post-Vietnam, there have been issues with youth moral and physical fitness.

Long gone (in some places) is mandatory PE. Four year olds play with tablets ((if the parents can afford them)).

And very few sub-30s would qualify in the first place to join the military.

Add being-at-home online schooling and (1) those on the lower income end might have fallen back down on the ability to pass the ASVAB (or whatever it is called these days) and (2) many lost whatever physical and moral fitness they might have had.

Add in people going back to higher education that they can semi-afford now that the local food warehouse is offering $17 an hour...

((that's about 35K a year if full-time, and getting to sleep at home))
