All Sides - 10-8-2024 A - How is the nation's political divide affecting military recruitment?
The political divide is affecting military recruitment.
It's getting harder to find men and women to serve in the armed forces as the world watches military conflicts escalate in the Middle East and elsewhere.
The current political climate isn't helping, but some of the reasons are longstanding yet not insurmountable.
We're talking about military recruiting challenges and the future of our fighting forces.
Guests:
Missy Ryan, national defense and security reporter, The Washington Post
Sgt. Peter Van Dine, Columbus-based Army recruiter
Nora Bensahel, professor, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies
