THE WAR IS OVER:
Report: Morale in the military is low and falling fast (Teresa Mull, 12/08/14, The Week)
A recent Military Times survey of 2,300 active-duty troops found that morale indicators have declined in nearly every aspect of military life over the past five years.The combination of several years of deep spending cuts, 13 years of war, and the dismissal of tens of thousands of troops have led to significantly lower overall job satisfaction, diminished respect for superiors, and a declining interest in re-enlistment now compared to five years ago.
There are no promotions in peacetime and the gravy train grinds to a halt.
