However, there is a reluctance when it comes to recommending that people serve. However, this reluctance was not as strong when it came to recommending that people join the military via a commissioning program.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From The Military Times:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is one thing to hold military members in high esteem in the abstract, but it is something altogether different to recommend military service as a career path,&#8221; the researchers wrote. &#8220;Having an all volunteer force means that serving is an occupational choice, one that fewer and fewer Americans appear to be willing to make.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 survey of more than 2,400 people found that roughly 54 percent said they would discourage someone they know from enlisting in the military, although more than 61 percent said they would encourage those same individuals if they wanted to attend a service academy or enter a Reserve Officers&#8217; Training Corps program.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers said they did not collect clear data on the reasons for the split, but said that across all questions, about one-quarter of individuals surveyed would not recommend signing up for any military service.<\/p>\n<p>That comes despite findings that &#8220;perceptions of veterans by the public are overwhelmingly positive,&#8221; according to the report. Roughly 67% of respondents stated that veterans are more hardworking and more reliable than the rest of society. More than half described veterans as self-disciplined, responsible, practical and self-reliant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Military Times has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2023\/12\/15\/most-of-us-respects-vets-but-would-not-suggest-enlisting-report-says\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A survey showed that most Americans have a positive view of veterans, describing them as disciplined, &hellip; <a title=\"The public has respect for military veterans, but slightly reluctant to recommend enlistment\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=150985\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The public has respect for military veterans, but slightly reluctant to recommend enlistment<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society","category-veterans-in-the-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=150985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150985\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=150985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=150985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=150985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
