Overwhelming Number of Americans Would Not Volunteer to Fight if US Entered Major Conflict: Poll

"A recent poll by the research institute Echelon Insights found that 72 percent of Americans say they would not volunteer for military service in a major war, according to Newsweek.
"The figures come as all branches of the armed forces have in recent years struggled to meet their recruitment targets, suggesting a growing apathy towards a career of military service,"
Newsweek reported. Another recent survey found that less than half of Democrats would be willing to die for our country in the event of an invasion, and around 30 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds would rather surrender to the enemy than fight, according to the Daily Mail.
These shifting attitudes about duty and sacrifice do not bode well for our national security..... young
Americans have been steeped in a culture that denigrates patriotism and fixates on the failures of our past. Colleges have promoted the narrative that American and Western values are synonymous with racism, colonialism and oppression -- and it's bearing some particularly nasty fruit. Add to that the undeniable fact that today's generation of Americans is weaker and more coddled than any generation before, leading ever more digital lives. Would they be able to withstand the rigors taken on by the "Greatest Generation"?" WesternJournal
