The military is massively struggling to recruit, they are short tens of thousands of soldiers

I have a feeling this might actually be about screening people who they think are physically or mentally unfit for duty, or maybe they are getting too many woke neckbeards with anxiety and asthma

Then why are they bogging down people who had random temporary childhood issues like a broken leg or a month with an inhaler? People with top notch physical scores mind you. I would imagine the shortage is directly cause by this, the timeline has lengthened from about 30 days to ship to basic to nearly a year. Makes it difficult to sit and wait that long while training.
